Why Three Dog

Why Us?

To save money and expedite delivery.

Since 2005, Three Dog has been streamlining the steps to get your mail into the postal stream with the least amount of hassle at the best possible price. Using our time-tested technique of commingling and drop shipping, we help our clients achieve greater postal discounts than they would otherwise qualify for. And most importantly, because we handle millions of pieces of mail per day, you take advantage of the deep discounts our volume enjoys.

Automation = Streamlined Processes

We know mail. And not just letter mail – flats, postcards, small parcels, product samples, and bound printed matter. We look at every step of the mailing and shipping process, consider ever-changing USPS requirements, and combine these with our knowledge of technology to make your job easier. Here is the difference Three Dog makes: we invest in the technology and gain the technical know-how, so you don’t have to.

We also streamline the processes of setting up a pickup, creating labels, producing the associated paperwork, and tracking of your mail. Through our fully automated, web-based transportation management system, which we make available to clients via our OBBA and Mail Rover tools, we provide a full suite of mail support services designed to best serve you.

In the past few years, we have invested in additional office and warehouse space, as well as high-speed mail-processing equipment, and have applied for patents on our most unique processes. We do this to ensure that we are constantly ahead of the technology curve and therefore ahead of our competition. Our clients count on it.

Who We Serve

We have become the go-to provider for a variety of industries.

Direct Marketers and National Brands

Non-profits, Fundraising and Member Organizations

Non-profits, fundraising and member organizations come to Three Dog to stretch their limited budgets to reach more prospective members at a reduced cost. Because of our ability to handle a high volume of mailings, we have successfully overcome the limitations that non-profits face when working directly with the USPS. We are especially skilled with backend fulfillment and with programs designed to improve campaign open rates.

Mail Shops, Printers and Brokers

Mail shops, Printers and Brokers rely on Three Dog Logistics to commingle and drop ship their customers’ mail and flats. When they produce a direct mail campaign, we collect the pieces and apply the postal optimization techniques that make the most sense for delivery and cost savings. As we add services and capabilities, we encourage these supply chain partners to roll our services into their own portfolios, creating new revenue streams while doing so.

Consumer Products Companies

Insurance, Healthcare and Benefits Providers

Why We Do It Better

When USPS changes its rates, our phones ring off the hook. That’s because we spend time studying the USPS changes so we can predict them in advance. Using our expertise, we have developed sound postal optimization strategies for our clients that will help them adhere to new rules or avoid portions of the price increases. Clients count on us for our know-how. They know that we are responsive and agile because we introduce new concepts and offerings at a faster rate than our competitors.

In addition, our size and scale have afforded us a very close relationship with the USPS. We have multiple USPS postal clerks on-site daily to provide postal verification at our Three Dog facility. This streamlined certification process, our proprietary sortation system and our logistics network all combine to result in to deeper client savings.

We serve some of the nation’s most recognized brands. Our long-standing relationships with other parties in the supply chain, such as agencies and mail shops, allow Three Dog to provide outstanding service and support to every type of “client“ seeking benefits from postage savings.

Three Dog has earned several industry, local and national awards for our business model, creativity, and ability to grow exponentially. We are a six-time Inc. 500-5000 winner, which we consider an outstanding achievement. We are proud recipients of the 2015 BBJ Baltimore Best Places to Work Award, and we have one of the Daily Record’s 2016 Top 100 Women in Maryland as our COO. Founder John Kennedy has published several articles, and is considered a thought leader in the industry.

Meet Three Dog

All too often, we watch customers spend too much valuable time tracking shipments, looking for bills, and paying higher costs than they should for mail and freight. As USPS postal rates continue to rise and service levels are reduced, our mission at Three Dog is to offer better postage rates while providing more predictable service levels. We can do this by handling millions of pieces of mail per day, and by inserting it into the postal system “as close to the final mile” as possible, using the brand name carriers that you know and trust.

We take much the same approach with parcels. Three Dog offers many different package solutions, from kitting and assembly, to marketing and lightweight parcels, to product sampling and backend premium fulfillment.
