Ecommerce fulfillment
Two 3PL quotes, one monthly workload.
Apply the same orders, items, receiving, storage and returns to two itemized fulfillment quotes.
Monthly total = account + receiving + storage + pick/pack + extra items + packaging + shipping + returns + other costs. A quoted monthly minimum replaces the calculated total when it is higher.

Quote comparison
Quote-comparison scope
Shopify identifies receiving, storage, pick and pack, shipping, returns, account management, setup and other services as 3PL cost components. Enter each provider’s unit exactly as quoted: if storage is per pallet, enter average pallets; if it is per bin, enter average bins. This calculator compares costs only and does not score service levels, carrier zones, dimensional billing, contract commitments, inventory accuracy or integrations.
