My account manager goes above and beyond to make sure that my rates and shipping options are aligned with my customers' expectations, and that I am always aware of any issues that come up with the carriers. On the fulfillment side, iDrive has a done a good job communicating and keeping me updated on the things I care about most.
Andrew Beltran Co-Founder Original Grain -
The iDrive Logistics team has been a great resource for supporting our fulfillment growth and providing visibility for our day-to-day operations.
Lauren Winter Operations Coordinator -
Our number of orders shipped has grown 300% since we switched to iDrive in just the last year. I'm glad we've had iDrive as a partner to do that because I don't know that we could have grown as quickly with our last fulfillment center.
Robie Helm Director of Operations -
We wanted someone that could, bare minimum, ship out fast and could fulfill orders reliably, iDrive does such a good job in such a professional way that it's become almost thoughtless on our side. Whereas with our other 3PL before it was a very hands on thing making sure things get sent out.
