What AP Express Logistics does

AP Express Logistics is a family-owned third-party logistics (3PL) and asset-based transportation company founded in 1992 by Jeff Pont and headquartered in Irwindale, California. The company operates more than 2.1 million square feet of warehouse space across three owned or operated facilities—Irwindale/Los Angeles, Corona in the Inland Empire, and Las Vegas, Nevada—along with an asset-based fleet of 74 trucks serving California and Nevada. It serves enterprise and mid-market B2B customers across e-commerce, retail and wholesale distribution, Amazon FBA/FBM, textiles and apparel, and time-sensitive transportation.

The company's service platform centers on five core offerings: e-commerce fulfillment with same-day shipping and real-time inventory visibility; retail and wholesale distribution supported by pre-built EDI connections to more than 50 major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, and Macy's; Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) services; asset-based transportation including white-glove, transloads, same-day, early-bird, and afterhours deliveries; and reverse logistics with returns processing and refurbishment. These are supplemented by value-added services (kitting, assembly, custom packaging, light manufacturing, hazardous/temperature-sensitive handling) and global brokerage for international freight. The underlying technology stack combines a customer portal at portal.apexpress.com for real-time shipment and inventory tracking, plug-ins to e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce) and ERP systems (NetSuite, BrightPearl, Cin7, Joor, Apparel Magic), and partnerships with CartRover, Extensiv, Ramp Logistics, and SPS Commerce for order management, EDI, and inventory visibility.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on fulfillment, distribution, and transportation activity, supplemented by managed-service revenue from warehousing (based on square footage and storage duration) and value-added services. The go-to-market is direct: enterprise field sales for large accounts, an inside-sales team handling inbound quote requests through the website, and a customer portal for ongoing service management with dedicated GM/Account Manager/Customer Success teams and quarterly business reviews. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies across flat-rate, per-pallet, per-item, and bundled structures. The company has positioned itself through industry recognition as a Fulfill.com Top 50 (2025) and Top 100 (2026) US 3PL, with named customers spanning fashion, footwear, home goods, and freight forwarding.
