Build a comparable estimate
The calculators above show selected pick, pack, and storage components. A complete fulfillment comparison also needs the same order profile, inventory assumptions, packaging, carrier mix, returns workflow, implementation scope, and service levels on every proposal.

Share SKU count, dimensions, weights, items per order, packaging rules, and regulated-product requirements.
Define inbound cadence, average and peak stock, storage type, replenishment, and the locations serving each demand region.
Align cutoffs, carrier services, returns, B2B routing, kitting, reporting, support, and exception handling before comparing totals.
No. Carrier postage, freight, fuel, and accessorial surcharges are not included in these calculator examples.
The signed quote reflects the actual catalog, order mix, packaging, storage, receiving, returns, integrations, support, and carrier requirements.
Use the same volume, inventory, packaging, destination, service-level, and exception assumptions, then compare total operating cost rather than one headline fee.
Location-aware pricing
Receiving, storage, labor, carrier mix, returns, and inventory placement can change the total cost. Use the location guides to frame a like-for-like Miami or Los Angeles analysis.

Best fit: brands shipping 1,000+ orders/month. Build your estimate from the orders you expect to ship and the inventory you need to hold. FHU's published tiers help you compare individual cost components; a written quote brings those components together for your products, channels and launch requirements.
List monthly orders, items per order, SKU dimensions, weights and customer destinations. Separate direct-to-consumer parcels from wholesale orders or marketplace replenishment. Review pick-and-pack requirements so the estimate reflects the work your orders actually need.
Document receiving frequency, average and peak stock, packaging, returns and the first shipping window. Identify the channels that share stock and any inventory reserved for a separate program. Use the multichannel inventory guide and location guides to prepare those decisions.
Request the same assumptions in every proposal. Check receiving, storage, item picks, materials, postage, returns, setup and any minimums or custom work. Confirm what changes at higher volume before committing. Discuss your operating profile with FHU to request an itemized quote.
The published first-item pick rate at exactly 20,000 orders per month is $1.40; the $1.20 tier starts at 20,001. Those are first-item pick components, not complete per-order fulfillment or delivery prices. Confirm the applicable volume, item profile and additional charges in your written quote.
Use a normal month and a realistic peak month. Include order and item counts, inventory held, receiving, packaging, postage, returns, implementation and any custom work. Ask how volume changes affect the quote and which minimums or other charges apply. Do not assume an advertised pick rate covers the entire operation.

Explore the published fee components for your order flow. This is an estimate, not a quote. Your numbers stay in this calculator and are not sent to us.
Use whole orders and pallets. Average units may include one decimal. Storage is shown as a range because pallet size and storage volume affect the published rate.
