How Much Does It Cost To Use a Fulfillment 3PL Center

Few things are quite as exciting as shipping your first Kickstarter campaign. Turning your ideas into a physical product and then sending them out to early adopters all over the world is an incredible feeling!

It’s also incredibly hard to do. Many people these days hire fulfillment centers to help with shipping, rather than boxing up everything on their own. But knowing how to choose the right fulfillment center is an overwhelming task in its own right.

One of the key reasons for that? Costs vary dramatically from fulfillment center to fulfillment center, and it’s not easy to make direct price comparisons.

Then we’ll show you how to estimate the total cost of order fulfillment using quotes you receive from fulfillment centers and a simple spreadsheet.
