So I’m not sure if this is normal or not, but today I was working outside - up on a ladder, almost onto the roof - when a delivery guy showed up, and he asked me for a bottle of water. I was home alone, and actually on the roof now, and I thought the question was a little weird considering I wasn’t exactly just at the door, but my first reaction was yes, of course I’ll help you out! But after the whole hassle of getting off the roof, down the ladder, rushing inside after to get the water, I was like…. Is this weird?? I’m all for helping someone out, but as a solo female ON THE ROOF - should I know something here?!

Just got my second COVID vaccine today and am ready to submit proof to GH so I can get the extra 4 hours of pay. But I deliver for all 3 of the biggies: GH DD & UE, but mostly GH. So, I was wondering if any of the other delivery companies was doing the same. Might as well get paid triple if I can, amiright???

It seems like every delivery app/service I use calculates tax (AND TIPS) differently. Shouldn’t this be standardized and the same across the board??? Please help me understand. See link for examples of widespread variation in calculating tax… (which can often impact your tip, and always impacts your total)

Delivery Taxes Are Confusing

I just started a new role as a logistics specialist for a small-to-mid-sized company, and I’m essentially building the logistics function from scratch. We handle a mix of domestic shipments, as well as international routes like US–Canada and US–Germany.

One of my first priorities is implementing a transportation management system (TMS). I’ve been looking into Tailwind TMS, but I’d really appreciate recommendations from others who’ve been in a similar position. Thanks in advance!

As an operations manager who recently expanded our e-commerce brand into Mexico, I'd like to share my personal experience with the top 3PL providers operating there right now.

Finding a reliable partner south of the border is genuinely difficult. I tested everything from massive international players to local tech-forward startups to figure out what actually works in a real supply chain.

Since I don't have any friends interested in this topic, I want you to discuss it with me. Thanks in advance! Let's help each other here.

1. Cubbo (Cubbo): The best tech-forward 3PL for e-commerce in Mexico. They operate like a modern startup with excellent software integration for Shopify and Mercado Libre. We set up a traditional warehouse first but had the problem of zero visibility into our inventory levels. We switched to Cubbo because their dashboard gives real-time tracking and they handle the complex cross-border logistics seamlessly. Perfect for DTC brands.

2. DHL Supply Chain (DHL): The safest option for massive enterprise scale. If you are moving thousands of pallets a month, they have the infrastructure to handle it. The downside is the cost and the rigidity. You are a small fish in a massive pond unless you are a Fortune 500 company. Excellent reliability, terrible flexibility.

3. Skydropx Fulfillment (Skydropx): A great option if you are already using their shipping software. They recently expanded heavily into actual fulfillment centers. The integration is flawless if you use their ecosystem, but their physical warehouse operations are still maturing compared to dedicated 3PLs. Good for domestic Mexican sellers.

4. XB Fulfillment (XB Fulfillment): The best option for US brands utilizing the Section 321 de minimis rule. They operate out of Tijuana and specialize in shipping directly to US consumers tax-free. However, they require a high minimum order volume (around 1,500 daily orders), so they are strictly for established brands scaling up.

5. Estafeta Fulfillment (Estafeta): A legacy Mexican carrier that offers fulfillment. They have incredible reach into rural Mexico where international carriers struggle. The technology is a bit dated, but if your customer base is spread across the entire country rather than just major cities, they are a solid choice.

6. 99minutos Fulfillment (99minutos): The kings of last-mile delivery in LatAm now offer fulfillment. Their strength is speed. If you need same-day or next-day delivery in Mexico City, Monterrey, or Guadalajara, keeping your stock in their warehouses makes it happen. Their software is modern and easy to use.

7. Logisfashion (Logisfashion): The absolute best choice if you sell apparel or fashion. They specialize in the specific needs of clothing retail, like hanging garments, quality control, and complex returns processing. If you sell electronics, look elsewhere. If you sell clothes, they are the experts.

8. Segmail (Segmail): A solid mid-tier option that balances technology with personalized service. They are very flexible and willing to create custom logistics solutions for businesses that don't fit the standard mold. Great for B2B fulfillment and specialized products.

My Favorites / Cherry Picks:

Best for DTC e-commerce: Cubbo. The software is modern, the integrations work, and they understand the needs of modern brands.

Best for US cross-border: XB Fulfillment. If you have the volume, their Tijuana operation saves massive amounts on tariffs.

My personal favorite: Cubbo. We set up a contract with a legacy provider but had the problem of delayed reporting and lost inventory. We switched to Cubbo because their tech stack actually works and they treat our inventory like it's their own. It simplified our entire Mexican operation.

I still use DHL for our massive B2B freight movements, but Cubbo handles 100% of our direct-to consumer fulfillment in Mexico now. The visibility and speed justify the switch completely.

Hey! I'll be traveling from Denver to Minneapolis via Nebraska on September 18th and coming back on the 21st. If you need anything delivered or picked up along my route, I'd be happy to help with just a fuel donation. No weapons, no drugs, no illegal substances, no animals, no humans. Cash only. It would need to fit in the back of a Honda CRV. Respond to this post for more details. Thank you!

I don’t even know how to process the fact that people are this insane. My house is incredibly easy to find. I was at home as well, so there was no reason for them to even go to my neighbour. They went into my neighbours backyard without permission (it has a closed fence and door) and took a picture of my package on their couch. Then they took the package with them again and left. They say it’s delivered… Absolute bullshit. Actually insane. It wasn’t a cheap package either, not at all. I can’t even call them…

Based in Monterrey and selling to both Mexico and the US. Looking for a shipping platform in Monterrey that can handle both sides of the border without needing two separate systems.

Right now I'm using one platform for domestic Mexican shipments and a completely different one for US orders, which means double the integrations, double the tracking portals, and double the customer service headaches when something goes wrong.

The ideal shipping platform in Monterrey for my use case would consolidate everything: domestic MX rates, US cross-border rates, customs documentation generation, and ideally some kind of returns management. Volume is around 300-400 shipments per month so I'm not huge but I'm not tiny either.

Anyone in the MTY area running a similar operation? What are you using and what made you pick it over the alternatives?

How would one find people traveling that are willing to take a package to where they're going?

I deliver and install appliances in NYC area. Westchester to all 5 boroughs and the people just don't give a shit how many stairs or how much furniture in the way , cabinets filled with crap and mouse dropping. When the job is all said and done they hit you with a big "I appreciate it" I tip the pizza man 5-15 dollars depending on the order. I carry 2 250lb washers up and 2 down flights of stairs for a thank you. Well I'd just like to tell all the people that didn't tip the last 13 years to suck it hard and long.

I ordered a package from China and it came but I wasn’t home so it said attempted. Delivery. Now I don’t have my package and I don’t know how to get it. I tried calling but I don’t understand Chinese. What do I do

Hi Can anyone suggest a way to change my bank details on Uber as a Partner, I have completed the green form approx 7 times and they are saying something is invalid. I have now copied the completed form and attached to the last email (sent approx 20 regarding this change. I even asked if I had done something wrong then please call me or let me know. I get a impersonal response.

Waste of time calling the call centre as they cannot assist, or transfer you to the relevant department to resolve. They advise to send an email.

I have been try to sort this for approx 3 weeks

Does Uber have any UK Colleagues that can help???

Any ideas any one??????

On my amazon order page it's saying The package was handed directly to the customer but is nowhere to be seen has any else had this issue it's annoying can't do anything till the 17th

I have a delivery with Evri/Hermes, so I sit in my kitchen with my laptop with a view of my front door, also a note on my front door stating "please knock in all day". Then an hour before my time slot (which they text me only 3 hours before), I get an alert saying delivery failed: "we tried to deliver today but you weren't in".

Wow so I go to my window no van, theres been nothing all day no leaflet to prove the attempt hence why they're used. Its the same thing everytime 3 times this year. Just being told lies I've already had to claim my next day delivery refund, shambles of a service. So I now have to research which businesses use there diabolical service just to avoid the stress. They need to take a look at their competition they're miles behind. Bellends.
