Startups that once rode the rocket ship of the pandemic e-commerce boom are adjusting to solid ground again. E-commerce is still growing, but the days of seemingly unlimited demand for storage, packing, and shipping services are in the past.Those circumstances demand a recalibration, not just from the household names of logistics like UPS, FedEx, and DHL but from a slew of venture-backed e-commerce fulfillment startups — many of which contain the word "ship" in their name, and most of which raised the vast majority of their funding in the last two years.

The contradictions are creating a muddy picture for retailers, and at stake is more than just profits. It's also the overall economic narrative going into next year — and facing seemingly bleaker economic predictions by the day."The last normal year was like 2019, right? Everyone's business has changed so much since then, it's really hard to build a model," said e-commerce fulfillment firm ShipHero CEO Aaron Rubin.Despite the uncertainty, there's one group retailers have to get real, and real specific, with about what's to come — that's their logistics partners.‍
