Frequently Asked Questions
What format is the file?
You receive a .xlsx file. Open it directly in Google Sheets (File → Open → Upload, or drag into Drive). Make a copy to start editing. It also works in Excel, though the dropdown and conditional formatting display best in Google Sheets.
How accurate are the benchmarks?
The benchmarks reflect SME market averages for 300–5,000 orders/month, sourced from public pricing pages and industry data (Huboo, Fulfillment Crowd, Fullfilwave, FLEX.Logistik — June 2026). Major providers like byrd and Omnipack use tailored pricing based on volume commitments, so treat these as a negotiation baseline rather than a fixed rule. They are accurate enough to tell you when something is significantly off.
Does this cover my country?
Currently UK (£ GBP) and DACH — Germany, Austria, Switzerland (€ EUR). France benchmarks are not included in this version.
Can I use this to compare multiple 3PL quotes?
Yes. Make a separate copy of the sheet for each provider and compare the Results tabs side by side.
