Estimate, not a quote
Estimated Monthly Fulfilment Cost
$786 – $1,635
per month, typical Australian 3PL range, excluding GST and shipping postage
That works out to $2.62 – $5.45 per order.
| Line | Based on | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Pick & pack | 300 orders | $600 – $1,050 |
| Additional items | 150 extra items | $60 – $225 |
| Storage | 6 m³ ≈ 3.0 pallets | $39 – $90 |
| Receiving | 3.0 inbound pallets | $42 – $150 |
| Returns processing | 15 returned items | $45 – $120 |
The lines that are not in the headline rate
The estimate above covers usage. Australian providers commonly charge these on top, and they rarely appear in an advertised per-order price:
- Account management$100–$500 per month
- Software / portal access$50–$200 per month
- Integration & setup$2,500–$5,000 one-off
At 150 orders a month, the fixed monthly lines alone can add $1–$4.70 per order , as much as the pick and pack fee itself. Ask for them in writing before you compare quotes.
