Which 3PL fits my store, and what will it cost?

Sellers past a few hundred orders a month, including wholesale, who accept a weekly platform fee.

Packaging is charged per piece. Carrier-specific postage tables are available on request. Its rate sheet says every customer must keep a security deposit (no amount on the sheet) and lists a US$1,000 reactivation fee if an account is cancelled or paused. It promises at least 30 days' notice by email when it changes its own fees, and says changes in its partners' costs (packaging, parcel, freight) may take effect without notice. Its help pages (read by our research pass on Nov 2) also mention a 3% credit-card fee.

Quarterly minimum US$6,000, checked against what it invoices in the quarter; the sheet does not say whether postage counts, so the tool shows both readings. The sheet's example: US$5,200 invoiced in a quarter means a US$800 minimum fee. Its pricing page said the US$6,000 is "including all costs" and its FAQ page said US$3,000 a quarter when our research pass read them on Nov 2; we could not re-read either.

Not for you if you ship under a few hundred orders a month: its rate sheet sets a US$6,000-a-quarter minimum on what it invoices, which is US$24,000 a year, or US$20 an order at 100 orders a month. Returns also need a US$49-a-week add-on.
