Whether you are a Startup, or already outsourcing, our Fulfillment Rates are extremely affordable !
Often, our fulfillment rates are lower than the competition by 10-20 percent, but we have seen several accounts where we were as much as 50% less ! Our flat-rate shipping options not only provide our clients with predictable costs, but they are also heavily discounted. Shipping discounts alone, will typically cover the fulfillment fees we charge !
In addition to our low fees, here are some discounts we provide that most fulfillment companies do not:
- No Setup Fees
- No Minimums
- No "Account Processing Fees"
- No Receiving Fees
- 50% discount on inbound freight
- Discounts on OS3 surcharges
- Discounts on signature required ( Fedex shipments )
- Packaging is included in our rates for orders less than 1 cubic foot in volume
- Packing lists are optional, if you do not require one, you will save $0.50 per order !
We also offer several flat-rate shipping options, for Ground, 2-Day, and Next Day delivery. Providing you with total predictability. (contact us for details)
How do fulfillment fees compare to doing it yourself?
- One full-time employee @ $10.00 per hour, without benefits, will cost you around $2000 per month.
- With us, you only pay fees when we ship your orders. You don't pay us for coffee breaks, sick days, holidays, or vacations, like you do with your own employees.
- You would not require a space to store and process your orders.
- Limiting Staff to marketing, customer service, and administration.
- Having the ability to grow your business without requiring additional space and staff.
- Where are you located? Our facility is located in Michigan, which means that 72% of they US is Zone 5 or less! This could translate into a huge savings on your shipping expense!
- Our fees are low, because we are very efficient at processing orders. Our systems and staff are geared towards the most effective methods of order processing. We have highly sophisticated software, and experienced staff.
Beware of other Fulfillment Centers that discount "Retail Rates." These rates are usually 17-23% higher than what you would consider "Retail," and represent rates you would pay if you did not have an account. They do this to create the illusion you are receiving a larger discount.
For example look at the variance between base Retail, and Daily Rates for a 10 pound package going to a zone 5 destination (about halfway across the US)
Retail Rates $11.03 (base rate)
Daily Rates $7.56 (base rate)
We discount Daily rates.
- Also.. we will provide you with a 50% discount on freight shipped to us collect on our account.
Use the below reference to determine what you can expect to pay. If you have already read our fulfillment guide and fulfillment benefits pages, you already know that outsourcing to a third party fulfillment center makes sense, however this chart will help you determine your actual costs.
