How we calculated this
- Only rates published on each 3PL's own website, linked on each listing. Blank means not published, never $0.
- Where a 3PL publishes volume tiers, we use the entry tier (the price a small brand sees first). Bigger shippers usually pay less.
- Storage counts only per-pallet monthly rates. Per-day, per-cubic-foot and per-bin rates are left out, not converted.
- Each fee has its own count because most 3PLs publish only some fees. Postage is not included.
- These are list prices, not quotes. See our methodology.
