The homepage publishes the full rate card. Online-arbitrage sellers pay $1.50 per unit for the first 1,000 units in a month, $1.35 for the next 2,000 and $1.15 above 3,000, with receiving, visual inspection, price-sticker removal, UPC covering, FNSKU labels, a standard poly bag and dunnage included. Wholesale and brand-direct inventory runs $0.85 per unit with a 500-unit-per-SKU minimum; private label is quoted. Bundles add $0.25 per extra unit, shoes are a $3 flat rate, and clothing, liquids and fragile items add $0.35. Medium items add $1.00 and small oversize adds $2.00. Storage is $10 per bin or $45 per pallet per month after free periods of 30 and 14 days, and the site says clients get ScanPower inventory software at no monthly cost. Cautions: new clients pay a $249 one-time setup fee and face a 300-unit monthly minimum, with a $49 fee in lighter months. Glassware, spray bottles and medium or large kitchen appliances are refused, and items over 5 lb or 18 inches need prior approval. The site has been live since March 2025, and onboarding depends on available space.

How we verified this listing

This listing was checked against our 4-point operator standard before being published. We run automated liveness checks on published listings, re-verify on user reports, and update when the operator edits details directly via the claim flow.

Prep centers can pay for a clearly labeled Featured placement. For US requests on our current matching form, we send a summary of the seller's answers, without their name, business or contact details, to up to 25 prep centers that fit: our picks, up to 10, and the next ones in fit order. A prep center that wants the work accepts, and the seller chooses which ones we introduce them to. A prep center pays us a fee, shown on each request, only for an introduction we send after both sides accept (its first is free). A prep center in the US with an active paid Featured subscription pays for Featured instead. No prep center can pay for editorial ranking, a shortlist pick, or this verification.
