Full 3PL

General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.

Editor summary

Ablework Station is a Dallas, Texas 3PL split between two lines: trade show and event logistics, and fulfillment for online sellers. The seller side covers FBA and WFS prep, storage and order fulfillment, and the prep work is stated plainly: quality assurance checks, barcode labeling, bundling and kitting, poly bagging, master-carton packing and shipment to the designated fulfillment center. Rates are published rather than quoted: unit labeling at $0.50, bundling or kitting at $1.00 for up to four items in a polybag, shipping plan creation at $2.50 per SKU, and FBA bulk removal units at $0.45. Storage is $0.83 per cubic foot per month for three quarters of the year and doubles to $1.66 in the fourth. Container unloading runs $350 for a 20 foot and $550 for a 40 foot. They also handle FBA removal orders in detail and run their own portal for advance shipping notifications, work orders, live inventory and billing. Storage carries no contract and no minimum, but every account pays a $14.95 monthly fee, and cartons over 50 pounds or 25 inches on any side take a 25 percent surcharge. One caution before shipping: the site publishes two different receiving addresses, 1232 Crampton Street on the contact page and 1321 Chemical Street in the shipping FAQ, so confirm which is current first.
