Mar 19, 2025Craig GoldmanVerifiedRoot Functional Medicine5.0Bulu has been an incredible partner. We were coming from a 3PL that had slow ship times and high costs. They were not willing to work with us. We were connected to Bulu through Fulfill.com and from the start I knew it would be a great fit. The team actually cares and was thoughtful through the entire sales and onboarding process. Since we have started with them, our shipping times and costs have decreased. That has led to happier customers and more margin for us to grow as a company. If you are looking for a 3PL partner, look no further!

Mar 17, 2025AnonymousVitaco Health4.4Pleased with the service provided so far as we launched a small range of products into the USA. Some improvements in inventory management required (accuracy of receipts and speed of response). Bulu have been a good partner to get started and have been very helpful and flexible. Single, central DC was attractive at first but as our strategy develops, a west coast DC might be attractive in the future.
