Track record is e-Sell Trading Services' calling card: operational since October 2017, it reports more than 9.3 million units processed across 78,743 shipments. A dual-coast footprint backs that volume, with warehouses in Richmond, Virginia and Ontario, California, each sitting within roughly 20 miles of an Amazon fulfillment center to shorten inbound legs from either side of the country. Pricing is a la carte and volume-tiered, dropping to $0.30 per unit at 2,001-plus units, with a $50 flat fee for 1 to 50 units and $1.60 per unit for oversize; storage is $5 per carton per month. FBA shipment creation in Seller Central is included at no extra charge via limited user access. Core prep covers FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, suffocation labels, price tag removal, and QC, plus photography, palletizing, container unloading, and buyback. It serves international sellers, with Russian and Ukrainian language options on its site.
