EU Logistics Consultant | 3PL, Fulfillment & Landed Cost

Your EU 3PL either can't scale with you or is quietly overbilling you. I fix that — vetted providers, audited costs, EORI/VAT sorted. Licensed customs agent (#018622), 11+ years in EU logistics. Recent results: an EU/UK market-entry roadmap that cut launch-readiness from 10 weeks to 6, and a routing analysis that identified ~€1,000 in savings per container. If your fulfilment costs are rising, service levels are slipping, inventory is unreliable, or you are preparing to expand into the EU, I provide the structure, vendor accountability, and operational support to move forward with confidence. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 3PL SELECTION & VENDOR MANAGEMENT → Identify and shortlist suitable 3PL and fulfilment providers → Prepare RFQs and collect comparable commercial offers → Normalize rate cards, storage fees, pick-and-pack costs, shipping rates, returns charges → Run vendor due diligence and operational capability assessments → Evaluate SLAs, cut-off times, onboarding requirements, contract terms, and risk → Negotiate commercial terms and coordinate provider onboarding → Build vendor scorecards, KPI frameworks, and review processes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FULFILMENT COST CONTROL & OPERATIONS → Audit 3PL invoices and identify billing errors or hidden charges → Analyze fulfilment cost per order, SKU, parcel, channel, or destination → Review warehouse performance, inventory accuracy, order delays, and SLA failures → Benchmark parcel carriers, freight providers, and fulfilment models → Support 3PL transitions and operational cutovers → Create SOPs, escalation paths, reporting structures, and corrective-action plans → Provide ongoing fractional 3PL and supply chain management ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EU MARKET ENTRY & CUSTOMS → Compare fulfilment locations in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and other EU markets → Assess landed costs, logistics risks, shipping coverage, and delivery times → Coordinate EORI, VAT, VAT OSS, customs, Incoterms, and import requirements → Work with licensed customs brokers, tax advisers, freight forwarders, and 3PL providers → Support Shopify, Amazon FBA, multi-channel, and D2C fulfilment operations → Build import, fulfilment, returns, and launch-readiness playbooks → Coordinate cross-functional market-entry projects from planning through launch ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO I WORK WITH E-commerce brands and international businesses that: → Are selecting or replacing a European 3PL → Need better control over fulfilment costs and service quality → Are expanding from the US, UK, or Canada into the EU → Need independent support when comparing logistics vendors → Lack internal supply chain resources for a critical project ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BACKGROUND 11+ years across Poland, the UK, and Canada — transportation, procurement, customs, TMS implementation, and operational improvement. 100+ TMS implementations delivered in international logistics environments, including ERP, telematics, and banking integrations. Earlier roles covered aerospace procurement (8-person team, 1,000+ BOM components) and road freight operations with up to 150 drivers and ~300 daily orders, where I delivered 30-60% operating cost reductions at 100% on-time delivery. That range means I don't look at one isolated issue — I see how systems, providers, costs, compliance, and operations move together.
