What Does a Boise 3PL Actually Cost? Here's a Look Inside

Pricing shouldn't be a black box, but it shouldn't be a full spreadsheet either. Here's a look at how we think about cost, and what actually shapes your number.

What Does a Boise 3PL Actually Cost? Here's a Look Inside

1. Per-Order Fulfillment Cost

Every order you ship involves two straightforward pieces: a flat order fee and a per-item pick and pack charge. With a base rate of $3 per order plus $0.30 per additional item for pick and pack, smaller orders stay affordable and larger ones scale predictably.

You get access to our discounted carrier rates, the kind of volume pricing smaller brands typically can't negotiate alone.

Heavier or bulkier items carry an additional handling fee based on weight, since they require different equipment and labor. Exact tiers depend on your catalog.

2. Storage and Receiving, Priced to Match How You Ship

Storage and receiving costs vary more than order fulfillment, because they depend on how your inventory is packaged and how it arrives.

Storage is billed monthly and scales with how your inventory is stored, from small pick bins to larger palletized freight.

Receiving is priced based on the labor involved, so a simple single-SKU shipment costs less to check in than a mixed pallet or full container.

Because these two categories depend heavily on your specific SKU mix and volume, we quote them individually rather than publish a flat number that wouldn't reflect your actual catalog. Our [Fulfillment & Storage] team can map this out once we understand your inventory footprint.

3. The Extras That Keep Costs Predictable

Beyond core fulfillment, a few smaller fees round out the picture: returns processing, customer service support, initial setup and integration, and labeling for platforms like Amazon FBA. We will always advertise our costs rather than keep them as line items buried in a contract.

A flat monthly software and administration fee covers your access to our order and inventory systems, instead of a per-order tech charge that grows with your volume.

Annual pricing adjustments are capped, so long-term forecasting stays reliable rather than subject to surprise increases.

Brands prepping inventory for Amazon can find more detail on our [Amazon FBA Prep] page, and businesses connecting their store can see what that setup looks like on our [Seamless Integration] page.

4. Why Boise Keeps Rates Competitive

Operating out of the Treasure Valley instead of a coastal hub keeps our overhead lower, and those savings carry through to what we charge. We go deeper on that advantage in [Why Choosing a Boise-Based 3PL Gives Your Business an Edge].

While these are baseline numbers, every single one of our clients' pricing will be personalized depending on their product catalog, packing requirements, shipping volume, storage needs, compliance, and more. We never slap a generic label on pricing because every company is different, and that's why we highly suggest scheduling a call with us so we can understand the full scope of your business and see if we'd be a good fit for each other.
