Discussion:
Warehouse and 3PL

Can anyone tell me which is the better option for my eCommerce store?
I have an eCommerce store for apparel, so my business has been growing for a couple of months now, so I want to rent out a commercial warehouse, then I heard about 3PL warehouses. So now am a bit confused, that is do I need to rent a warehouse by myself and take care of the shipping and fulfillment by myself or outsource it to a 3PL company so they will take care of it. I heard that for a growing business 3PL is the best choice there is. So can any help me out, please?

If a 3PL Company is worth as it says, I was considering this company referred by my friend, If anyone has past experience with them please do share it.
