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.
What TikTok Shop fulfillment costs
Pick, pack, and ship runs a flat rate by order weight, and packaging is already in that number — boxes, poly mailers, tape, and dunnage. Postage bills separately at our discounted USPS, UPS, and FedEx rates, passed through at cost with no markup on top.
| Order weight | Rate per order |
|---|---|
| Up to 5 lb (most TikTok Shop orders) | $2.00 |
| 5–8 lb | $2.75 |
| 8–15 lb | $4.00 |
| over 15 lb | Custom quote |
Most products that move on TikTok Shop — serums, LED gadgets, phone accessories, snack boxes, hair claws — ship in the under-5-lb tier. If you sell on other channels too, the same rate card covers Shopify, Walmart, eBay, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Etsy, Magento, and Amazon FBM orders picked from the same shelf. Full breakdown on our pricing page and the price list.
There's no peak-season surcharge when your order count spikes — the rate on a quiet Tuesday is the rate the week you go viral.
Same-day dispatch, every day the order comes in
A TikTok Shop order came from a video the buyer watched minutes ago — the wait for it to ship matters more than on a channel where the customer expected to plan ahead. We treat our cutoff as a hard line, not a target: orders synced to us before our 2pm CT cutoff, Monday through Saturday, ship the same day. Anything after cutoff goes out the next business day. That's the whole mechanism — no batching everything at close and hoping a truck shows up on time.
What happens when a video takes off overnight
Your order count doesn't ramp on TikTok Shop, it jumps. Forty orders Monday, thousands sitting in Seller Center Wednesday morning because a creator's video hit overnight. That's the kind of spike that breaks garage operations and stretches a lot of smaller 3PLs thin too.
We don't charge extra for it. There's no minimum order volume to qualify for a quote and no monthly fee sitting there during the slow weeks between videos — you pay $2.00 an order whether that's 40 orders or 4,000. If a spike runs bigger than we can clear inside the same-day cutoff, the overflow ships the next business day — the same rule that applies on any other day.
One honest limit: if you're consistently running thousands of orders a day nationwide, a multi-warehouse network will beat a single Houston facility on coast-to-coast transit time. Below that volume, one well-run warehouse with slack built into the schedule is usually faster to stand up and cheaper to run than splitting inventory across regions. See how we staff for that swing on our 3PL warehouse service page.
Fulfilled by TikTok Shop vs a 3PL warehouse
TikTok's own fulfillment program is genuinely hands-off if TikTok Shop is your only channel. The trade-off shows up the moment you sell anywhere else: inventory sitting inside TikTok's network only serves TikTok Shop, so a Shopify or Amazon FBM order pulls from a separate pool you have to manage and restock on its own.
A 3PL holds one pool of inventory that serves every channel. We fulfill TikTok Shop, Shopify, Walmart, eBay, and Amazon FBM orders off the same shelf, visible through the KAK WMS, so you're not guessing which channel to allocate stock to when a spike drains it fast. Lot-number and expiration-date tracking are available if your products need it. More on the setup on our 3PL warehouse service overview and the storage page.
What a month of TikTok Shop orders actually costs
Assuming most orders land under 5 lb, here's fulfillment-only cost at a few volumes, before postage:
| Orders per month | Pick-pack-ship (@ $2.00) |
|---|---|
| 50 | $100.00 |
| 100 | $200.00 |
| 300 | $600.00 |
Add storage and returns and a real month looks like this — 300 orders (280 under 5 lb, 20 in the 5–8 lb tier), two pallets in storage all month, and 12 returns:
| Line item | Calculation | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Pick-pack-ship, 280 orders under 5 lb | 280 × $2.00 | $560.00 |
| Pick-pack-ship, 20 orders 5–8 lb | 20 × $2.75 | $55.00 |
| Packaging, 300 orders | 280 mailers × $0.25 + 20 boxes × $0.40 | $78.00 |
| Storage, 2 pallets, full month | 2 × $25 | $50.00 |
| Returns, 12 orders | 12 × $1.50 | $18.00 |
| Total before postage | $761.00 |
Postage sits on top of this, billed at carrier cost with no markup — it varies by zone and box size, so we quote it against your actual SKUs rather than guess at a number here. Inbound receiving on that first shipment runs $20 per pallet ($5 per carton).
Questions sellers ask before they switch
- Minimum order volume or spend? None. We take on brands launching with a few hundred units the same way we take on sellers doing thousands of orders a month.
- Setup, onboarding, or software fees? None. No setup fee.
- Contract or cancellation penalty? Month-to-month. No contract to break.
- Receiving cost and time to available? $20 per pallet ($5 per carton).
- Storage billing basis? $25 per pallet per month, climate-controlled — you pay for the fraction of the month you actually use, not a flat monthly rate.
- Do you preassemble bundles or pick on demand? Bundles pick and pack per order at the rates above, no forced preassembly. Kitting is available if you want components pre-built — custom-quoted against your SKUs.
- Carrier markup? None. Postage passes through at our discounted rate with no markup.
- Returns handling? $1.50 per return, inspection included.
- Real-time inventory visibility? Yes, through the KAK WMS dashboard, so you can see stock levels across every channel it feeds.
Anything with no published number here — kitting, freight, custom packaging, white-glove handling — gets a written quote within 24 hours once we see your specs. We don't invent a number to sound responsive.
Creator samples ship like paid orders
A creator sample is your ad budget on TikTok Shop. We move sample requests through the same same-day cutoff as paid orders — no separate, slower queue for anything marked "sample."
Want a branded insert, a thank-you card, or a specific unboxing layout for creator packages? Tell us what you're picturing and we'll quote it in writing before we touch a unit — inserts, kitting, and subscription-box assembly are all available, custom-quoted to your design. Start with a quote request or read more about the broader setup on our 3PL warehouse service page.
