How much does Real Thread Fulfillment cost?

Regarding pricing, our fulfillment program has four cost components: storage, shipping, packaging, and handling!

1) The "storage" component - this cost is driven by the cubic volume of the inventory being stored at our facility in Florida and is billed weekly. You'll be given a detailed invoice with each day's storage cost at the beginning of the following week, which will fluctuate based on inventory being shipped out, new inventory received, etc. This is billed at roughly $0.10/cubic foot/day.

2) The "shipping" component - this cost is up to you/your customer (meaning you/your customer chooses the shipping service that will be used and then is billed that rate). You may choose only to allow your customers a single service or several service/speed options (such as USPS Ground Advantage, USPS Priority Mail, UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS Next Day Air, FedEx, etc.).

GOOD NEWS: You'll always be charged at our discounted bulk rates!

3) The "packaging" component - this cost is based on the size of the shipment. A 10" x13" black poly mailer for a single shirt will cost you just $0.25.

4) The "handling" component - this cost is based on the total number of items in an order or how many items our team will be "handling" in preparing the order for shipment.

The four costs above are billed at the end of each week and are separate from printing costs.

To give you a general idea of costs, here is what a shipment of one shirt would likely cost you through fulfillment:

Shipping: $4.89 (via USPS Ground Advantage)

Packaging: $0.25 (black 10 x 13" poly mailer)

Handling Fee: $3.25

Total: $8.39
