&quot;Still, most people really don&#x27;t know how most internet goods get to them. The e-commerce specialist didn&#x27;t even know, and she was in charge of choosing the 3PL for her midsize online-retail company. &quot;These decisions are made at a business level and are based on cost,&quot; she says. &quot;I never, ever thought about what they&#x27;re like and how they treat people. Fulfillment centers want to keep clients blissfully ignorant of their conditions.&quot; If you called major clothing retailers, she ventured, and asked them &quot;what it was like at the warehouse that ships their sweaters, no one at company headquarters would have any fucking clue.&quot;&quot;
