Beyond FBA prep, the operation also offers storage and FBM, direct-to-consumer, and B2B order fulfillment for Walmart, eBay, and other channels, so it is multi-service with FBA prep as the lead.

Base bundle $0.65 per unit (receiving and inspection, FNSKU labeling, box pack and label). FNSKU labeling $0.65/item; transparency sticker add-on $0.35/item; FBA label application $2.00/box (label included); poly bag $0.25 on the pricing page and $0.35 on the price list; bubble wrap $0.60+; bundle of 2 $1.15, bundle of 3-6 $1.65, bundle of 7-10 $2.15 per bundle; larger bundles on inquiry; oversize +$1.00 (product-dependent, often not charged). Receiving: pallet $7/pallet, returns processing $1.25/incoming package, incoming label removal $0.25 each. Storage: pallet $30/pallet/month, shelf (under a pallet) $12+/month. FBM/D2C pick fees from $2.50 to $4.00/order by item count and volume. The operator states there are no sign-up fees and no hidden fees. Its own September 2026 price list does tier FBM and D2C pick fees by monthly order volume (1-299 vs 300+ orders/mo), so the site's "no tiers" claim does not hold for that service. Also on the September 2026 list: multiple-ASIN pallet sort $7/pallet; unit count inside case $5/case; container unloading, floor-loaded with unload and palletize for the first 2,000 cartons: 20ft $350, 40ft or 40HC $550; palletized with forklift off and stage: 20ft $200, 40ft or 40HC $300; +$0.25 per additional carton past 2,000; cartons over 50 lb or unusual freight quoted per load; expiration or sold-as-set stickers $0.15 each; lid tape or gripper stickers $0.15 each; pack-list insertion $0.25; boxes $0.35-$4 (small or envelope), $2.75 (medium), $3.85 (large); pallet shrink-wrap $8; outgoing pallet $20 if required; master case shipping label only $2.50 per case (as-is, no prep or pick); admin, scan or sort $30 per hour as needed.
