3PL invoice auditing for DTC brands

Find the money hiding in your 3PL invoices.

We check your fulfillment invoices line-by-line against your contracted rates — the first check is always free. From there, a full audit is $1,250 flat, or $0 upfront and 15% of whatever's actually credited back — your choice, same audit either way.

How it works

Four steps, no software to install.

This runs as a hands-on service, not a dashboard you have to configure — you send documents, we do the reconciliation.

1

Share one invoice, free

Send your most recent 3PL invoice and your rate card or contract, under NDA before anything changes hands. We check that one invoice against your contracted rates at no cost.

2

See what we found

If there's a rate mismatch, you see exactly which line, the dollar impact, and why — before you've paid us anything or committed to more.

3

Choose how we get paid for the full audit

A flat $1,250, or $0 upfront and 15% of whatever's actually credited back by your 3PL. Same audit, same evidence standard, either way — you pick what fits your risk tolerance.

4

We reconcile everything and build your dispute package

Every invoice line — pick & pack, storage, receiving, returns — matched against your contracted rate, category by category, plus the cited, submission-ready dispute package for anything that doesn't match.

What we check

The fee categories most likely to drift.

Rate cards change, tiers get misapplied, and duplicate charges slip through — these are the categories we check on every invoice.

Pick & Pack Fees

First-unit and additional-unit rates, checked against your contracted tiers.

Storage & Long-Term Storage

Pallet/bin tiers and long-term storage surcharges applied correctly.

Receiving

Per-pallet, per-hour, or container unload rates matched to your rate card.

Returns Processing

Per-return fees checked for duplicate or unsupported charges.

Account / Minimum Fees

Monthly minimums charged correctly against actual activity.

Rate Card Compliance

Every billed rate checked against the exact rate you signed for.

What this looks like

Here's the kind of thing we find.

An illustrative example of a rate-compliance finding — not an actual customer's data.

This is a pure rate mismatch — dispute-ready using only the signed rate card and the invoice itself, no operational data required.
Trust & confidentiality

Your data, your control, your call.

Free scan, transparent pricing

The initial scan is free either way. If you move to a full audit, you pick a flat fee or pay-on-recovery upfront — no surprise billing.

🔒

NDA before anything is shared

We sign a confidentiality agreement before you send a single invoice, with a written data-handling and retention policy.

👤

You stay in control

You review every finding before anything goes to your 3PL, and you're the one who submits each dispute — we don't contact your 3PL on your behalf without your separate written authorization.

Independent — not a 3PL

We're not affiliated with ShipBob, ShipMonk, or any fulfillment provider. We work for you, not them.

Pricing

Start free. Then pick how you pay for the full audit.

The scan is always free. If it's worth going deeper, you choose a flat fee or pay-on-recovery — same audit scope and evidence standard either way.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you send anything.

What's the catch?

No catch. The initial scan is free. If you move to a full audit, you choose how you pay: a flat $1,250, or $0 upfront with a 15% fee that only applies once a credit is actually confirmed by your 3PL — nothing owed on that option if nothing is found or your 3PL declines.

Is my data safe?

Yes. We sign an NDA before you send anything, and follow a written data-handling policy: secure upload, minimal retention, and redacted exhibits available on request.

What if you don't find any overcharges?

That's a valid, useful outcome — you'll get a clear report either way, at no cost, confirming your invoices are clean.

Do you contact my 3PL directly?

Only with your written authorization, and always identified as acting on your behalf — never without your permission, and never without you seeing the findings first.

Is there a subscription option?

After your free scan, we're happy to talk about ongoing monthly invoice monitoring — but there's no obligation, and we won't get into pricing until you've seen your scan results.
