Example rates are editable. They are planning inputs, not verified market averages or a provider quotation.
2. Replace the example rates
The starting prices are editable planning inputs only. Replace them with the actual unit prices from the 3PL or FBA prep provider you are evaluating.
3. Compare the real scope
A low prep total can exclude receiving minimums, materials, freight or special handling. Confirm the complete service scope before sending inventory.
This calculator does not represent verified market averages or a promise of provider pricing. Actual charges depend on SKU complexity, packaging materials, receiving rules, storage terms, order volume and warehouse-specific minimums. Freight, customs, taxes, Amazon charges, compliance testing and exceptional handling are outside the automatic calculation unless you add them as a fixed fee.
