THE ATOMIX GUARANTEES

Cheap fulfillment costs more.

Every 3PL will quote you a lower pick fee. None of them will tell you what it costs when they get it wrong — because at most of them, that cost lands on you. Atomix is the only 3PL that puts four guarantees in writing and pays you back automatically when we miss.

THE REAL MATH

A lower pick fee doesn't cover a wrong order

Industry research puts the cost of a single mispick between $50 and $300 once you count the replacement unit, the second shipment, the support time, and the customer you probably lost. Here's who absorbs that.

Atomix publishes guarantees.

A statistic tells you what usually happens.A guarantee tells you what happens when it doesn't.

You don't have to fight for it

The reason most 3PL guarantees are worthless isn't the promise — it's the process. Ours pays out on our initiative, not yours.

01
We catch it
Your Pod Manager monitors your account daily. Most misses are flagged on our side before you ever notice.
02
We credit it
The credit is applied automatically to your account. No claim form, no ticket, no negotiation.
03
You see it
The credit appears as a line item on your invoice in the Atomix App, so you can verify every dollar.
Fine print, up front:Credits are the sole monetary remedy and are capped monthly at 100% of that month's fulfillment fees. Standard exclusions apply — client data errors, carrier-caused delays, and force majeure events. It's all spelled out in the agreement before you sign.

What each 3PL actually puts in writing

Competitor accuracy figures are self-reported performance statistics — not financial guarantees. There's a difference, and it shows up on your invoice.

THE PLAN, NOT THE FLOOR

We'd rather not pay these out

A guarantee only works if you rarely need it. The point isn't to buy your forgiveness after the fact — it's to make sure the incentive to get it right sits with us, not you.

FAQ

The questions behind the fine print

Do I have to file a claim?
No. When we catch the miss, the credit is applied automatically. If you spot one we didn't, you can claim it within the stated window.
Is there a cap?
Yes. Credits are capped monthly at 100% of that month's fulfillment fees, and they're the sole monetary remedy under the agreement.
What counts as on-time?
Orders placed by 12 PM local for express or 1 PM local for ground and economy — measured in the warehouse's local time — ship the same business day.
Do the guarantees apply during peak?
Outbound DTC guarantees hold through peak season. Some non-outbound activities get extended timelines, which is spelled out in the agreement.
How long do I have to claim?
10 business days for order accuracy, on-time shipping, and billing accuracy. Inventory issues should be reported within 5 business days, with a 60-day locate-and-reverse period.
What's excluded?
Client data errors, carrier-caused delays, spike events beyond forecast, and force majeure. All exclusions are defined in the agreement — nothing is discovered later.
Is a credit an admission of fault?
It's a contractual credit, not an admission of liability. That distinction is what lets us pay quickly instead of investigating for weeks.
Can I leave if you keep missing?
Yes. If we fall below our KPI floors and don't fix it through the cure period, you can terminate without an early termination fee.

Ask your current 3PL what happens when they miss.

If the answer is a statistic instead of a number on your invoice, that's the difference. Book 30 minutes and we'll show you exactly what we'd commit to in writing.
