Invoices are weekly
All OC3PL invoicing is weekly, so costs track your sales week by week instead of arriving as one large month-end surprise.
Supplement Fulfillment Pricing
No rate card, no setup fees, no minimums. A line-item quote built around your SKUs and order volume.
What Is on a Supplement Fulfillment Invoice
OC3PL does not publish a rate card. Pricing is quoted around your SKUs, order volumes and workflows, with every line item spelled out. What you pay depends on how much you store, how many items go into each order, and which extras you use.
Receiving
Accepting the inbound shipment, checking it against your advance shipping notice, recording lot number and expiration date, and scanning it into stock.Storage
Based on the space your inventory actually occupies, not a committed footprint. Storage is calculated on usage and pro-rated daily.Pick and pack
Driven by the number of items in each order. A single bottle and a four-product bundle are different amounts of work.Kitting and prep
Bundles, sample packs, gift-with-purchase builds and Amazon prep. Kitting is quoted per finished kit, or hourly for complex builds.Shipping
Carrier cost by weight, size and destination. A West Coast origin and right-sized packaging both pull this number down.

How OC3PL Bills
The structure, in plain terms.
Storage is pro-rated daily
Storage is calculated on usage and pro-rated daily. A monthly storage rate is used for quoting, so you can compare our number against other providers on the same basis.
No setup fees, no minimums
No order minimums, no thresholds and no long-term contract. A slow month does not trigger a shortfall charge.
Every line item spelled out
Ask for the quote with every line item listed, then compare complete quotes rather than headline rates.
What Moves a Supplement Brand’s Cost
Five things you control.
Units per order
Bundles and multi-month supplies raise pick cost per order and lower shipping cost per unit. Know your average.
How bundles are built
A bundle kitted in advance ships faster during a sale. A bundle built to order avoids locking components inside finished kits. Each is priced differently.
Slow lots
Stock that sits still carries storage every day and moves toward its expiration date. Review storage against sell-through regularly.
Inbound quality
Shipments that arrive labeled and scheduled are received within one business day. Unlabeled freight takes longer and costs more to receive.
Channel mix
Amazon prep, retail routing and direct-to-consumer orders each carry different handling. Tell us the split up front.
Common Questions
It depends on how much you store, how many items go into each order, and which extras such as kitting or Amazon prep you use. OC3PL does not publish rate cards. It quotes pricing built around your SKUs, order volumes and workflows, with transparent line-item billing, no setup fees and no hidden minimums.
All OC3PL invoicing is weekly. Storage is calculated on usage and pro-rated daily. A monthly storage rate is used only for quoting and for comparing against other providers.
No. There are no order minimums, no thresholds and no long-term contract. Whatever provider you evaluate, ask what the monthly floor is in plain terms and what happens in a slow month.
Lot number and expiration date are recorded as part of receiving. When you compare providers, ask each one whether lot capture, FEFO picking and expiration reporting are included or billed as add-ons, and get the answer in writing.
Ask directly about packing material surcharges, order editing and cancellation fees, kitting and bundling charges, SKU count or storage surcharges, account management fees, relabeling, peak season surcharges and returns processing. Request a sample invoice and a complete price list for boxes and dunnage.
