Our Story
About EFA
We exist to coordinate top regional 3PL providers to compete with — and beat — corporate national 3PLs on cost, speed, and service.
Why EFA Exists
The ecommerce fulfillment industry has a fundamental problem. National 3PLs have scale — but they’ve lost the plot on service. Ticket systems, junior account reps, long-term lock-in, and a complete disconnect from the brands they’re supposed to serve.
Independent regional operators deliver outstanding results — but they can’t offer the national footprint that growing brands need to compete on delivery speed and shipping cost.
EFA was built to solve both problems at once. By coordinating a curated network of top-tier regional operators, EFA gives ecommerce brands the national reach and zone savings they need — while giving regional 3PLs the commercial scale they’ve been missing.
Our Positioning
“National fulfillment without enterprise complexity.”
The best of a regional 3PL — maximum service, flexibility, lower cost, top management involvement — combined with the national footprint and zone savings of a large operator.
The Long-Term Vision
A distributed alliance of high-performing operators delivering national-scale fulfillment — with the speed, flexibility, and entrepreneurial mindset of independent regional providers.
What Makes EFA Different
