Started in 2017 by two German logistics professionals, Ansgar Thune and Baris Talaysum, MeisterPrep markets German precision standards applied to American 3PL. The scale is what stands out: four warehouses totaling over 350,000 sq ft in Long Beach CA, Des Plaines IL, Houston TX, and Charleston SC, an 80-plus person team, and a stated throughput of over 2 million units per month. That footprint reaches roughly 95% of the US population within 2-day ground. For sellers running across channels, it covers Amazon FBA and FBM, Walmart WFS, TikTok Shop, and Shopify DTC, and is Amazon SPN certified. Pricing is itemized per line item on the invoice before work begins, with no minimums and no long-term contract. Hazmat, oversized, fragile, and apparel handling are supported, alongside China importing and customs.
