No subscriptions, no startup fees, and no minimum quantities: NOW Fulfillment states that plainly on its homepage, which makes it worth a look for smaller Amazon sellers testing the waters. The operation sits in Liberty Center, a small Indiana town, and leans into personal service, staying open seven days a week from 9am to 5:30pm Eastern. Prep covers Amazon FBA and FBM along with Shopify, eBay, and Etsy, and the team handles hazmat, fragile, and liquid items, though it publishes a $0.50 per unit surcharge for glass, liquids, hazmat, meltables, oversized, and other resource-intensive goods. FBM and kitting both run $2.00 per unit, with the all-inclusive FBA rate quoted on contact. Storage is $10 a month for up to five cubic feet or $40 per pallet. Note that NOW does not currently process customer-returned or resealed packages.
