The frame

What we list. What we run. What you bring us next.

Most 3PLs sell capability in vertical silos.

You hire the warehousing person. You hire the trucking person. You hire the customs broker. The handoffs become your problem — missed e-mails, duplicate paperwork, six-hour freight delays because nobody owns the gap between two scopes of work.

NewYork3PL was built differently. One accountable team — routing, warehousing, drayage, customs, kitting, cold-chain, last-mile, reporting — runs the engagement from origin to delivery.

The catalog below is a starting point. Not a fence.

Warehousing & operations

The work that happens between freight arriving and freight leaving — across multi-borough partner facilities chosen for each specific cargo profile.

  • Warehousing

    Multi-borough partner network across Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Northern New Jersey, and Lehigh Valley overflow. Placement intelligence per submarket — short-term, long-term, and seasonal-overflow capacity matched to your specific cargo profile and SLA.

  • Fulfillment & distribution

    B2B, DTC, retail replenishment, and omnichannel fulfillment. Multi-channel integration with Shopify, Amazon, retail EDI, marketplace platforms. Same-day and next-day fulfillment available for NYC-local orders.

  • Cross-docking

    High-velocity cross-dock operations adjacent to Port Newark and JFK. Strong fit given the current NYC industrial vacancy environment — favorable terms for short-dwell, high-throughput arrangements.

  • Transloading

    Container-to-trailer conversion at the harbor, 53-foot and 48-foot trailers, for inland distribution from PANYNJ container terminals. Reduces drayage cost and intermodal handoff time for inland-bound cargo.

  • Kitting & assembly

    Custom packing, custom bundling, custom inspection, custom labeling. Operations that flex to the client's business — Customer Adapter at the SKU level. Common applications: subscription-box assembly, retail display kitting, promotional bundling, channel-specific repackaging.

  • Returns processing

    Reverse logistics for DTC and retail. Inspection, restocking, refurbishment routing, disposition reporting. Closed-loop returns visibility for clients with complex multi-channel return flows.

  • Forward staging

    Pre-positioning inventory closer to the final destination — tighter SLA compliance, faster fulfillment, reduced transit miles. Anticipatory rather than reactive. Particularly powerful for peak-season scaling and time-critical NYC delivery.

Transportation & freight

Moving the freight from origin to destination — by whatever combination of modes the job actually needs.

  • Transportation & freight management

    Full-truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), full-container-load (FCL), and less-than-container-load (LCL). Carrier network spanning regional Northeast, intermodal partners, and air cargo capacity at JFK and EWR. Rate optimization and lane analysis included.

  • Last-mile delivery

    Five-borough parcel, courier, and white-glove delivery designed around Manhattan permit windows, building-access protocols, and the borough-by-borough cost mathematics that determines optimal staging. Includes appointment-based delivery, signature-required, and white-glove inside-delivery service tiers.

  • Cargo logistics coordination

    Multi-mode movement orchestration — when a single shipment requires ocean drayage plus intermodal rail plus regional trucking plus last-mile, we coordinate the handoffs as a single accountable operation rather than a chain of separate vendor relationships.

Specialized cargo handling

Where the cargo class itself demands handling expertise the standard 3PL can't deliver — particularly the high-value freight NYC moves at scale.

  • Cold-chain & temperature-controlled

    Pharmaceutical cold-chain, biotech sample handling, fresh produce, frozen seafood, dairy, wine, spirits, and other beverages requiring temperature integrity. PANYNJ is the #1 US port for refrigerated cargo — we operate the reefer corridor from quay to NYC retail, restaurant, hospital, or distribution endpoint.

  • High-security & chain-of-custody

    For freight where audit-trail integrity matters as much as transit time: luxury fashion, financial documents, art, controlled substances, medical devices, sensitive corporate documents. Continuous custody documentation, signature-required handling at each transfer point, sealed-container protocols, dedicated-driver arrangements.

International freight forwarding

Cross-border logistics and trade compliance — bidirectional, between NYC and any port in the world.

  • Import / Export

    Bidirectional global freight movement coordinated through PANYNJ container terminals (Port Newark, Elizabeth, Howland Hook, Red Hook), JFK / EWR air cargo, and direct origin-port relationships at major global terminals — Shanghai, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Felixstowe, Singapore, Hamburg, Yokohama, and beyond.

  • Customs clearance & brokerage

    HS classification, entry filing, ISF / AMS, AES / EEI, duty calculation, free-trade-zone routing, Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice preparation, and compliance documentation. In-country customs partners on every continent — destination-side clearance without a coordination gap on arrival.

  • Vessel & aircraft chartering

    For high-volume shipments, time-critical cargo, or specialized freight where commercial scheduled service is insufficient. Full-vessel ocean charter, partial-vessel arrangements, and aircraft charter through trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic operator relationships.

Strategic partnership services

The work that goes beyond moving any one shipment — the consultative tier that compounds across an ongoing relationship.

  • Customer Adapter

    Operational workflow customization tailored to your business. Custom packing standards, custom inspection protocols, custom SLAs, custom kitting flows, custom labeling, custom reporting cadence — the firm's operations adapt to your business, not the other way around. The default posture for every engagement, not an upcharged premium tier.

  • Customer Developer

    Consultative supply-chain capability development. Lane optimization, multi-DC strategy, peak-season planning, scaling design, network architecture review, and the routing decisions for every shipment that follows the first one. Strategic-partner work, not transactional 3PL — the relationship deepens shipment over shipment.
