Frankly Fulfillment was started by people who had been on the customer side of 3PLs and walked away frustrated by the lack of transparency, so the pitch here is plain pricing: no setup fees, no monthly minimums, no software fees, pay per shipment only. The Ohio-based center operates more than 45,000 square feet of company-owned and operated warehouse space and backs new customers with a 30-day risk-free trial. FBA prep starts at $0.50 per unit on a 100-unit minimum, wholesale prep runs from $0.20 per unit on 50 units, and e-commerce orders start at $2.50 each. Storage is described as minimal, and there is no minimum to begin. Core services cover FNSKU labeling, polybagging, QC, and carton labeling, with value-adds including DTC pick and pack, returns, freight receiving, and product photography. It works with wholesale and private-label sellers on Amazon FBA, Shopify, and B2B channels.
