Barrett Distribution: A Trusted 3PL Partner Since 1941

Since 1941, Barrett has provided customized third-party logistics (3PL), direct-to-consumer (DTC) eCommerce fulfillment, omni-channel distribution, comprehensive transportation management and retail compliance for clients across all industries, such as apparel & footwear, health & beauty, consumer packaged goods, consumer electronics, food, candy, grocery, and automotive.


Barrett continues to be a leading 3rd party logistics provider in North America, known for superior execution, customer engagement and direct access to senior leadership decision makers. We are big enough to do the job and still small enough to deeply care about your business.


Barrett operates 25+ locations across the United States which includes seven locations in the Memphis, Tennessee region, as well as over 7 million square feet in the US with key logistics centers in Greater Boston, New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, Memphis, Dallas, and California.


Barrett has a long-standing commitment to their team members and involvement with the communities they reside in.

The value Barrett provides comes in working with our customers to protect their brand and make their business operate more efficiently.  This level of engagement goes far beyond the basics of receiving, picking, packing, and shipping - anyone can do that.


In our nearly 80 years of operations, we have rarely had a situation where Barrett has not been able to accommodate a customer that is experiencing explosive growth.  In fact, this is how we have grown our company, through strategically expanding our national footprint as our customers have expanded their business.


Knowing how important a strong fulfillment partner can be to the success of your brand, we welcome the opportunity to discuss how Barrett can assist with your next strategic warehousing or direct-to-consumer fulfillment initiative.
