How are Garage Owners vetted?

Applicants complete KYC and address verification, install shelving and cameras, and pass a multi‑camera QA before going live.

How do Garage Owners earn?

GOs are paid for approved storage and for each order shipped. Earnings vary with inventory volume and local order density.

Is 3PGL an alternative to a traditional 3PL?

Yes. 3PGL is a community‑powered micro‑fulfillment network that positions inventory closer to customers to reduce last‑mile cost and time.

Non‑perishable products only

Local garages. National reach.

Q: Do you handle perishables?

No. We accept non‑perishable consumer goods only. No food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, or hazmat.

Q: How are orders routed?

Orders are routed by proximity to the end customer, provided the assigned Garage Owner has the required inventory.

3PGL turns third‑car garages into micro‑warehouses. Orders route to the closest Garage Owner for faster, more affordable delivery - while helping families earn from home.

How 3PGL Micro‑Fulfillment Works

Vet & Set Up

Garage Owners (GOs) apply, pass KYC, and install shelving + cameras. Location is validated and monitored.

Stock nearby

Product Owners (POs) ship non‑perishable inventory to assigned Garage Owners (GOs). GOs recieve and stock. POs recieve validation that location is ready to ship.

Route by proximity

Orders are sent to 3PGL and automatically routed to the closest GO (with stock) to the end customer. GOs are notified to pick, pack, and ship the order.
