3PL fee benchmarks
Every fee we could source from a vendor's own published rate card or help documentation, normalized to one schema. 196 rows from 14 vendors, 30 distinct sources, last verified 2026-08-04.
Read this before you use these numbers. A rate is only comparable within its
own structure. A "from $1.75 per order" floor and a "$7.74 all-in" bundled rate are not the
same measurement, and averaging them produces a number that describes nothing. We publish
the conditions column for exactly this reason. Rows marked as historical or announcement
data in the notes are not current rates. Start with
the normalization method.

Vendors that publish no rates
These 10 vendors are quote-gated: we checked their pricing pages and found no usable numbers. That is a finding, not a gap. It means you cannot benchmark them without collecting a quote yourself, and it is why the published band skews toward smaller 3PLs.
