NEW The switching program run by your next 3PL

migratebay.
Switch 3PLs without the switching tax.

Everyone accepts that changing 3PLs is painfully expensive. We didn't. MigrateBay plans, negotiates, and runs your entire transition — and engineers the cost down at every step.

The program

Four phases. One team coordinating everything.

Strategic phasing, inventory auditing, goods-in processing, system integration, quality verification, storage optimization — handled.

PHASE 1

Document

Your current fulfillment costs, operational requirements, and contract exit obligations — then a straight cost-benefit analysis. If the move doesn't make sense, we tell you.

PHASE 2

Plan & test

Migration timeline, internal and customer-facing comms, then a parallel run or phased transfer — validated on a subset before anything critical moves.

PHASE 3

Optimize

Once live, we track your KPIs against your old provider's baseline and run regular business reviews to catch drift early.

PHASE 4

Recoup

Win back the margin the transition cost you — retail placement for smaller brands, data-driven scaling off your fulfillment KPIs for larger ones.

Why we built this

Switching costs became an accepted evil. We looked closer.

A lot of people quietly make a lot of money every time a brand changes 3PLs — and almost no one questions what actually makes it so expensive. We did. It's cheaper to let us use our network and negotiate on your behalf than to pay the switching tax alone.

We negotiate rates on your behalfCarrier, storage, and transfer pricing through our network relationships — not retail rates.
Partial liquidation, where it winsSometimes moving a SKU costs more than it's worth. We model it and tell you.
Timed to your low-inventory cycleTransitioning at your inventory trough can cut transfer costs dramatically.
Exit obligations mapped up frontNo surprise termination fees — your contract exit is part of Phase 1.
Two migration modes

A mistake should cost you a few units — never your best-seller.

Fastest cutover

Parallel run

Both providers operate simultaneously for a defined window while you migrate a subset of SKUs first.

  • Subset of SKUs moves first
  • Performance validated before the rest follows
  • Best for smaller, simpler catalogs
Recommended · 100+ SKUs

Phased transfer

Slow movers and new inbound go first. Fast movers keep shipping from the incumbent — and flip last, once the new warehouse has proven itself.

  • Slow inventory + new receipts migrate first
  • Best-sellers stay live until performance is proven
  • More coordination — which is exactly what we do

Find out what switching would actually cost you.

Start with the cost-benefit analysis — your numbers, your contract, your exit obligations. No commitment, and if staying put is the right call, we'll say so. If we run your migration, pricing is agreed up front — no surprises.
