How We Onboard Your Brand

Discovery & Fit Check

We review your products, order volume, channels, and requirements to confirm we’re a good match.

2

Plan & Pricing

You get a clear proposal outlining inbound, storage, pick/pack, and project work.

3

Connect & Test

We connect your channels, run test orders, and finalize packaging and order workflows.

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.

↩️

Returns Processing

Clear disposition rules for returns and exchanges.

🚀

Amazon FBA Prep & Replenishment

FBA prep and replenishment under the same roof as your DTC stock.

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

$2.50 first item
+ $0.50 each additional item on the same order

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

Free*

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.

*Floor-loaded containers are $15 per linear foot (hand-unload). Product that arrives completely mixed and unsorted needs hands-on sorting that’s billed as a separate line. We’ll plan it with you on a quick call first.

Store Connections

$1 / day
per connected sales channel

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.

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.
