Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

e53 Fulfillment is a 3PL in Georgetown, Texas, just north of Austin, with a second facility in Houston, serving CPG, Shopify and TikTok Shop brands on the direct-to-consumer side and Amazon sellers on the prep side. Prep rates are published rather than quoted: FNSKU labeling runs $0.40 a unit under 1,000 units a month, dropping to $0.35 and then $0.30 as volume rises, bundling including the FNSKU is $1.25 for a two-unit bundle with $0.25 for each unit beyond that, poly bagging including the label is $1.00 a unit, and carton forwarding to Amazon is $5.00 a carton. Counting and inspection are billed separately, at $5 a carton plus $0.10 a unit or $40 a man-hour for a full inspect. Two things decide fit before the per-unit rate does. There is a $500 monthly minimum billing, printed on the pricing page directly beneath a bullet reading no minimum order volume, so this is not a home for a seller shipping a few hundred units a month. The homepage repeats that question four times and answers $500 three times and $250 once, so get the figure in writing. And they decline anything on Amazon's hazardous items list outright. Card payments carry a 3.5% processing fee.
