Schellstede Shipping runs a small, hands-on prep operation out of Santa Fe, TX, where new clients work directly with Lauren and get an onboarding setup that is unusual for the space. The one-time $29.99 onboarding fee covers WhatsApp channel configuration, Amazon Seller Central setup help, and access to weekly Q&A sessions, so newer sellers get coaching alongside the prep. Pricing is published and tiered: $1.00 per unit at 100 to 999 units a month, stepping down to $0.70 at 3,000 and up, with the base rate including receiving, inspection, initial label removal, damage photos, and FNSKU labeling. Bundling and kitting are priced by bundle size, fragile and oversized items are handled, and the team is actively recruiting experienced sellers. A good fit for Amazon FBA and multi-channel sellers who want a responsive, small-shop partner.
