Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Sidekick Kitting is a kitting and ecommerce fulfillment 3PL at 8001 Forbes Place in Springfield, Virginia, in Fairfax County. It grew out of Teak & Twine, a custom gift box company run by the same founder, Torrance Hart, and focuses on gift boxes, PR and influencer kits, subscription boxes, sample packs and Shopify, Faire and TikTok Shop order fulfillment. Amazon prep is one of three service lines, with its own page listing receiving and inspection, quality control, FBA labeling, repackaging, multi-packs, case packs, kits and bundles, poly bagging, wrapping and sealing, card inserts, and shipping to Amazon fulfillment centers. The FAQ says typical clients send at least 100 units a month and that work can start within 1 to 2 business days of inventory arriving. Pricing is quote-based; no rates are published. Cautions: the Virginia LLC registered under the Sidekick Kitting name shows as inactive in state records, while the Teak and Twine LLC at the same address is active, so confirm which company you are contracting with. The '9 years' of experience the site cites is the parent gift business; the Sidekick brand dates from early 2024. Its 500,000 packs figure is its own claim.
