I am looking for a fulfillment center in the US, that is NOT amazon or shipwire to do some shipping (US and international) through my Shopify site.

Anyone have recommendations of any companies?

My products are low-priced so margin is thin, and would like something that doesnt cost an arm and leg to fulfill.

    It is important to remember that profits begin with buying. If you don't buy at the best price, you can't make the best possible profit.

    Your concern over fulfillment costs because of your thin margins tells me that you are buying from wholesalers, distributors, or traders. You need to buy direct from the actual manufacturer. To do that in the US or other Western countries is not so easy, but buying from manufacturers overseas is a different matter.

    Especially those in China will welcome you with open arms. Your first obstacle will be to use a safe sourcing platform, not one like Alibaba. Most of the suppliers listed as manufacturers are traders and wholesalers. There goes a big slice of your profit and you are back to thin margins.

    For some helpful information for newbies, and reasons why I don't publish the links to safe sites, you might like to see my thread If your secret B2B portals are so safe why don't you share?
