Before you request a quote
Know the cost. Check the fit. Plan your first shipment.
Start with a small shipment or an established operation. There is no minimum volume. Tell us what you sell so we can confirm the handling, space and shipping you actually need.
What will my first month cost?
Example: 500 full-service FBA units under 5 lb × $0.75 = $375. If each needs a $0.20 polybag, add $100; one inbound pallet adds $20 and one full billable pallet-month adds $25. Total: $520 before outbound shipping or other requested work.
Examples use standard storage in the first three months. Long-stay pallet rates are $28/month in months 3–6 and $32/month after six months. Your written quote separates receiving, storage, handling, materials and shipping. Build your own estimate.
Why are there two handling prices?
Under 5 lb, Lean FBA is $0.50/unit and Lean FBM is $1.75/order when goods arrive pre-packed and ready to label. Full-service handling is $0.75/FBA unit or $2.00/FBM order; materials and postage are separate. These are service tiers, not automatic volume discounts.
Heavier items use different weight bands; over 15 lb or bulky items need a written quote. See the complete rate card.
Can you handle my products and platform?
Share your product type, packed dimensions and weight, sales platform and expected volume. Small batches and returns-only enquiries are welcome. Batteries, liquids, food, supplements, temperature-sensitive, hazardous or oversized items need acceptance and handling requirements confirmed before you ship.
For Shopify, Amazon, Walmart or another platform such as Amboras, tell us how orders and inventory are exchanged. The team confirms the connection or file workflow before onboarding; a platform name alone does not guarantee a supported integration.
How do I send inventory?
- Send your SKU list, dimensions, weights and carton/pallet count.
- Receive the written scope, rates and product-acceptance confirmation.
- Confirm account setup, labeling and receiving instructions with the team before dispatch.
- Send shipment details and tracking; agree the first prep job or order workflow.
Receiving location: 6117 Long Dr, Houston, TX 77087. Confirm inbound instructions before sending goods.
What about shipping and storage dimensions?
For a shipping estimate, send origin and destination ZIP codes, packed dimensions, weight, parcel count and desired delivery speed. Handling prices do not include carrier postage. Storage is charged only by carton or pallet. Bin and shelf storage is included in our standard pick-and-pack rate, with no separate charge. Send product dimensions and quantities so the team can confirm usable space, availability and the applicable carton or pallet storage rate in writing.
After you enquire: a real person from our Houston team replies within one business day, confirms any missing details and sends itemized pricing. You can ask for a written quote without booking a sales call. Unsure of volume? Select “Not sure yet” in the quote form.

Inside the facility — and how to see it yourself
We operate a 32,000 sq ft climate-controlled warehouse at 6117 Long Dr, Houston, TX 77087, monitored 24/7. Climate control isn't decoration here — Gulf humidity warps boxboard and wrinkles labels, so the whole building is conditioned, not just the front office.
Walk-ins are welcome with 24 hours' notice, Monday through Saturday, 9am–6pm CT. Call +1 832 759 1368 or email sales@kaksourcing.com to set a time — we'd rather walk you through receiving, prep, and storage in person than have you take our word for it. 180+ ecommerce sellers already run inventory through this floor, and we're reviewed on Trustpilot by people who've actually shipped here.
What a 500-unit FBA launch actually costs
Say you're a skincare brand launching 500 units, arriving on 2 pallets. Here's the math, using only the rates above.
| Line item | Calculation | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving | 2 pallets × $20.00 | $40.00 |
| FBA unit prep | 500 units × $0.75 | $375.00 |
| Storage (first month) | 2 pallets × $25.00 | $50.00 |
| Launch total | $465.00 |
Storage keeps running at $25.00 per pallet per month for as long as it sits before Amazon pulls it — $50.00 for 2 pallets in a typical launch month, roughly $100 if it sits two months. Every number here is a published rate; every line on the invoice is a published rate.

| 5–8 lb | $2.75 |

What buyers ask before they ship inventory
Minimums, fees, and contracts
None of those apply. No minimum order or SKU count, no setup fee, no contract — it's month-to-month.
Receiving and time-to-available
Receiving is $20 per pallet ($5 per carton). Every carton is scanned into the KAK WMS at check-in, so it's visible in your dashboard the same day it's received.
Storage and lot tracking
Storage runs $25.00 per pallet, billed monthly, so you pay only for the days you actually use — climate-controlled the whole time. Lot-number and expiration-date tracking is available for clients who need it.
Packaging, carriers, and markup
Basic packaging — polybags, bubble wrap, cartons — is included in the $0.75 per-unit prep rate; on FBM/DTC orders, packaging materials bill from $0.25. Branded inserts, custom packaging, and kitting are custom-quoted. Postage and freight run at discounted USPS/UPS/FedEx rates, passed through at cost, no markup.
