Starting rates, published.
We publish starting rates so you can price the move before you call. These apply to standard-size units. Big, bulky, and hazmat items are quoted by volume.
Rates current as of October 2026. No setup fee. Month to month. Starting rates are for standard-size units.
Starting rates at a glance
Volume pricing lowers the per-unit and per-order rate once we know your numbers.
What is quoted, and why
Everything in this table is written into your rate card before anything ships.
| Item | How it is priced | Why it is quoted |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | Per pallet per month | Depends on how much and how long. |
| Bundling and kitting | Per kit | Depends on the work in each kit. |
| Oversized and heavy items | Per unit | Depends on size, weight, and volume. |
| Hazmat | By volume | We need to talk before anything ships. |
| Container unloading | Per container | Depends on how it is loaded: floor-loaded or palletized. |
| Freight to Amazon | Per shipment | LTL and parcel rates change by lane and date. |
| Postage on FBM orders | Carrier rate | Passed through on each order. |

How does this compare to a typical prep quote?
The middle column is what we put in writing. The right column is what to ask anyone else.
| What matters | LikeMind | Ask any prep center |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the inventory | You, always | Do you also sell on Amazon, and what stops you selling against me? |
| Starting rates | Published on this site | Can I see the rate card before the call? |
| Setup fee | $0 | What does onboarding cost? |
| Contract | Month to month | How long am I locked in? |
| Who you talk to | The owner | Who answers when something goes wrong? |
| Turnaround | Same week; small jobs often next day | What is the turnaround at peak? |
Pricing
Do rates go down with volume?
Yes. Starting rates are for getting started. Once we know your monthly volume, we quote a rate card with volume pricing.
Is storage included?
No. Storage is quoted per pallet per month and written into your rate card.
Is there a minimum?
No minimum to get started. Starting rates apply to standard-size units.
How do you bill?
Your rate card spells out billing terms before anything ships.
Do you charge for software or integrations?
No. There is no platform or account fee.
What about big, bulky, or hazmat items?
Quoted by volume. Hazmat needs a conversation before anything ships, and we can’t take refrigerated or frozen goods at all.
