MetsCube was built from a seller's own pain point: founder Albert Mets, an overseas Amazon seller, created the Alexandria, Virginia 3PL to serve international sellers who lacked a US warehouse. Location is a real advantage here, sitting 15 minutes from Amazon's DCA7 fulfillment center, offering same-day delivery across the DC metro area and next-day to the Eastern Seaboard. Pricing is fully a la carte and pay-as-you-go with no membership fees and no order minimums: FBA and WFS prep runs $1.10 per unit in the 101 to 500 band, FNSKU label-only is $0.45, bundle prep $0.78, and pallet bin storage is $30 per month, with quantity discounts available. Services span FBA, FBM, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and Shopify, including fragile and oversized handling, returns, multi-carrier shipping, and ShipStation integration. It holds a 5.0 Google rating across 35 reviews and offers warehouse tours.
