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.
What $0.75 per unit actually covers
Full-service FBA handling for units under 5 lb is $0.75/unit, including FNSKU labeling and prep labor. Materials are separate: polybag $0.20/unit and bubble wrap $0.20/unit when needed. Receiving, storage and outbound freight are separate. Lean label-ready units start at $0.50; heavier units use the published weight bands.
FNSKU Labeling
$0.75/unit
Amazon-compliant barcode applied to every unit before it leaves our floor — this is the base rate for the whole job.
Poly Bagging
Included
Suffocation-warning poly bags for apparel, loose parts, and anything Amazon requires one for.
Bubble Wrap
Included
Glass, ceramics, and anything fragile gets wrapped before it's boxed, at no extra charge.
FBA Cartonization
Included
Standard cartons built to Amazon's size and weight rules, sealed, labeled, and ready to ship.
Kitting, bundling, subscription-box assembly, and custom branded inserts aren't part of the standard $0.75 job — those are custom-quoted because the labor varies by SKU and box count. Tell us the spec on the quote form and you'll have a number in 24 hours. Full rate card: kak-price-list or pricing.
What a real launch costs
Take an RFQ we get often: a new brand launching 500 units on Amazon, shipped to us as 10 pallets. Here's the full 3PL bill, using only our published rates.
| Line item | Rate | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| FBA unit prep — 500 units | $0.75/unit | $375.00 |
| Receiving — 10 pallets | $20/pallet ($5/carton) | $200.00 |
| Storage while units wait for prep — 10 pallets, one month | $25.00/pallet | $250.00 |
| Total launch cost | $825.00 |
That's the whole 3PL side of the launch — no setup fee stacked on top. (.)
For an ongoing seller reordering 1,000 units a month, arriving as 15 pallets and clearing within one storage month: 1,000 × $0.75 prep ($750.00) + 15 × $20.00 receiving ($300.00) + 15 × $25.00 storage ($375.00) = $1,425.00 a month, all-in, month to month.
No minimums, no setup fees, no contracts
The direct answer: there's no minimum order, no required volume, and no monthly spend floor. A single unit gets prepped for $0.75, the same rate as unit number ten thousand.
- Minimum order or volume: none. Start with a single unit or a pallet — same $0.75/unit rate either way.
- Setup fee: none. Onboarding or software integration costs aren't on our published rate card — tell us what you need and you'll have an answer within 24 hours.
- Contract or cancellation penalty: none. We work month-to-month; leave whenever you want.
- Peak-season surcharges: none. The rate on this page holds year-round.
- New brands with a small first order: there's no minimum, so a 500-unit first shipment ships the same as any other.
How inventory moves from our dock to Amazon
Five steps, same day if you make the cutoff:
- Ship or drop off inventory at 6117 Long Dr, Houston, TX 77087. Walk-ins are welcome with 24 hours' notice, Monday–Saturday, 9am–6pm CT.
- We receive it against your packing list — $20 per pallet ($5 per carton).
- Units get FNSKU labels, poly bags, bubble wrap where needed, and FBA-compliant cartons — the $0.75/unit prep.
- Finished cartons are logged in KAK WMS, so you can see status without calling us.
- Cartons ship to your assigned Amazon fulfillment centers. In before 2pm CT, Monday–Saturday, and it ships that day.
Bringing inventory in by container or LTL freight instead of small-parcel? Devanning and freight are available, quoted per shipment at negotiated carrier cost — no flat rate published for that, just tell us the container size on the quote form.
Storage, returns, and tracking while inventory sits with us
Pallet storage runs $25.00 per pallet per month — climate-controlled, and billed only for the days you actually use. Full breakdown on the storage page.
| Service | Rate | Notes |

| Receiving | $20/pallet ($5/carton) | Charged on every inbound |
| Returns processing | $1.50/return | Inspection included |
