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 single-item orders under 5 lb × $2.00 full-service handling = $1,000. At $0.25 per mailer add $125; two full billable pallet-months add $50 and one inbound pallet adds $20. Total: $1,195 BEFORE postage, returns or extra 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.
How the Shopify integration works
Your Shopify orders land in our warehouse management system automatically, we pick and pack them off our Houston floor, and tracking numbers push back to Shopify without you touching a spreadsheet. No middleware, no manual CSV uploads.
- You connect your Shopify store to KAK WMS — a one-time setup, no fee.
- Every new order imports automatically into KAK WMS as soon as it's placed.
- Our Houston team picks, packs, and ships it — orders in before the 2pm CT cutoff (Mon–Sat) go out same day.
- The tracking number posts back to the Shopify order automatically.
- Stock counts update in real time on both sides, so you don't oversell while inventory is in transit or on the shelf.
The same warehouse and WMS also run TikTok Shop, Walmart, eBay, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Etsy, Magento, and Amazon FBM orders — useful if Shopify isn't your only channel. See our 3PL warehouse service overview for the full operation.
What Shopify order fulfillment costs
Every Shopify order is picked, packed, and shipped at a flat per-order rate based on weight — packaging materials from $0.25, no hidden charges.
| Order weight | Price per order |
|---|---|
| Up to 5 lb | $2.00 |
| 5–8 lb | $2.75 |
| 8–15 lb | $4.00 |
| over 15 lb | Custom quote |
That rate covers picking, packing materials, and standard packaging. Carrier postage (USPS, UPS, FedEx) is billed separately at our discounted rates, passed through at cost with no markup. Full breakdown on the price list and pricing pages.
What a month actually costs: 300 Shopify orders
Here's a real month for a mid-size Shopify brand shipping 300 orders averaging under 5 lb, storing 10 pallets, and receiving two inbound shipments of 5 pallets each.
| Line item | Calculation | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Order fulfillment | 300 orders × $2.00 | $600.00 |
| Pallet storage | 10 pallets × $25/mo (monthly billing) | $250.00 |
| Receiving | 10 pallets × $20 | $200.00 |
| Returns (est. 3%) | 9 returns × $1.50 | $13.50 |
| Total | $1,063.50 |
Carrier postage isn't in this total — it's billed separately at discounted rates, passed through at cost. Custom quotes on kitting, freight, or branded inserts aren't in it either; tell us your specs at get a quote and you'll have a number in 24 hours.
Setup, minimums, and contracts
Short answer: there aren't any. We take new Shopify brands at any volume — including a launch batch of 500 units — with no minimum order count.
- Setup fee: none. Connecting Shopify to KAK WMS costs nothing.
- Contract: month-to-month.
- Peak-season surcharges: none, including Q4.
We're a 32,000 sqft climate-controlled facility in Houston, 180+ ecommerce sellers on the floor today, Trustpilot-reviewed. The building is monitored 24/7 and inventory in our custody is insured up to $500,000 per occurrence — we're liable for our own handling errors, not just a shrug and a claim form. Walk in with 24 hours' notice, Monday–Saturday 9am–6pm CT, or start with a quote and we'll walk your SKUs through the numbers.
Storage, receiving, and inventory accuracy
Storage is billed by the pallet, monthly, in a climate-controlled section of the warehouse — you only pay for the fraction of the month you actually use.
| Service | Rate |
|---|---|
| Pallet storage | $25/pallet per month ($25/month flat) |
| Receiving | $20/pallet ($5/carton) |
Every account gets a real-time inventory dashboard through KAK WMS — the same system pushing tracking back to Shopify. Lot-number and expiration-date tracking is available if you need it for supplements, cosmetics, or food-adjacent SKUs. See the full breakdown on our storage page.
Returns and what's included in packaging
Returns cost $1.50 each, and inspection is included in that price — we check condition before it goes back on your shelf as sellable stock or gets flagged for your review.
The per-order fulfillment rate includes standard packaging: box or poly mailer, tape, and void fill. Branded inserts, custom boxes, and thank-you cards are available but custom-quoted — tell us the spec and we'll price it within 24 hours. Kitting, bundling, and subscription-box assembly work the same way: orders ship at the flat per-order rate with no forced preassembly, and kitting is available custom-quoted if you'd rather have SKUs pre-bundled before the order hits our floor.
Running Shopify next to other sales channels
Most Shopify brands we work with aren't Shopify-only for long. The same inventory pool, WMS dashboard, and warehouse floor fulfill orders from TikTok Shop, Walmart, eBay, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Etsy, Magento, and Amazon FBM at the same per-order weight-based rates, and Amazon FBA prep runs at $0.75 per unit — FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrapping, and standard cartonization all included.
That matters for inventory accuracy: one stock count feeds every channel, so a Shopify sale and a TikTok Shop sale draw from the same real-time number instead of two spreadsheets that drift apart. If you're adding a channel, there's nothing extra to set up on the fulfillment side — see china-to-us-bridge if inventory is still overseas, or start with contact us to talk through the mix.
