The Basics + Your Specific Needs
Inbound Receiving & Inspection
We receive pallets, cartons, and eaches with clear standards.
Storage Options
Pallet, case, and each-level storage tailored to your catalog.
Pick, Pack & Ship
Accurate, fast order fulfillment across your channels.
Custom Kitting & Bundling
Multi-SKU kits, inserts, and custom packaging rules.

Simple, Honest DTC Fulfillment Pricing
You pay for what you actually use: picking, packing, and the space your inventory occupies. No bundled mystery fees, no surprises on the invoice.
Pick & Pack
Covers picking and packing every outbound order, ready to ship.
Storage
- Bin $4 / mo
- Shelf $12 / mo
- Pallet $30 / mo
Billed prorated by the day, based on the space you occupy. Storage is usually your main variable cost, so the faster your catalog moves, the less you pay.
Receiving
We don’t nickel-and-dime your inbound. Receiving is free when inventory arrives in clean case packs, or mixed cases with each SKU bundled together and quantities labeled.
Store Connections
Keeps each store (Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and more) synced so orders flow in automatically and inventory stays accurate.
Shipping
Outbound shipping is billed per order through a simple prepaid Wallet: you fund a balance, each label draws from it, and it auto-replenishes when it hits your threshold. Want real numbers for your products? Estimate your shipping cost →
Packaging & Supplies
Mailers, boxes, dunnage, and labels are billed at our cost plus a small markup for sourcing and handling, only for what your orders actually use. We buy in bulk so you don’t have to, and packaging isn’t where we make our margin.
Scoped to Your Products
Some work depends too much on your specific catalog to list one flat rate. We quote these clearly up front during onboarding, never after the fact:
Is This a Fit?
We’re built for brands that are actively shipping. Our floor is 20 orders per month, because we’re a fulfillment partner, not a storage unit. From there, more orders is better. The real question is footprint: a few pallets is easy, and very large storage programs we’ll happily scope with you or point you to a better-fit partner.
Rates shown are standard published rates for direct-to-consumer fulfillment. Final pricing depends on your products and scope and is confirmed in your onboarding proposal. Not a binding quote.
Channel Integrations
We plug directly into the platforms you already use so orders flow automatically and inventory stays in sync.
Why Brands Choose Marketplace Prep
Built by Sellers
We understand rankings, reviews, and the cost of bad fulfillment.
Ops-First Approach
We prioritize throughput, accuracy, and clean data over superficial metrics.
FBA + DTC Under One Roof
We prep FBA and ship DTC from the same facility so your operations stay coordinated.
Frequently Asked Questions
What order volume do I need?
Our floor is 20 orders per month, since we’re a fulfillment partner and not a storage unit. From there, more orders is better, and brands shipping anywhere from a couple hundred to a few thousand orders a month are right in our wheelhouse. Planning a launch that will get there fast? Let’s talk.
Can you handle both DTC Fulfillment and Amazon Prep?
Yes. We can ship DTC and prepare FBA replenishments from the same inventory pool.
Do you support custom branded packaging?
Yes! We have resources and relationships that can likely save you money on the packaging design, ordering, and planning process.
