Automated check: the listed site loaded on its own domain, with no parking-page signs, and its text names Amazon, FBA or FNSKU. Not a review. How it works

Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Shipmate Fulfillment is a third-party warehousing and fulfillment company in the Frankford section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, run by the Antar family from a Unity Street warehouse the family owns. The company launched in 2019, and its homepage leads with B2B pallet distribution: it reports its business as 62% warehousing, 24% freight and 14% parcel. FBA prep is a value-added line with its own page. The listed prep work covers labeling, polybagging, kitting, bundling and quality checks, the labeling service names FNSKU labels, and inbound shipments are inspected for visible damage as standard. Published introductory rates: receiving from $8 per pallet, storage from $0.75 per pallet per day, and prep from $0.45 per unit or case; everything else is quoted. The site also offers Shopify, Walmart and eBay order fulfillment, returns processing, product photography, and LTL and truckload distribution from a 300,000 sq ft building (operator figure). Cautions: this is a general 3PL whose prep page is pitched at high-volume and enterprise sellers, so small online-arbitrage batches may not fit. The page claims more than 10 years of FBA prep experience, which predates Shipmate's 2019 launch; the family sold on Amazon from 2014. Pricing beyond the starting rates requires a quote.
