Flexport fees: every published figure, sourced

75 figures Flexport publishes on its own pages, across 13 fee categories, plus 1 we checked and found withheld. Read 2026-08-04 to 2026-08-12, from 2 sources. Every row below links to the page it came from, so you can check it rather than trust us.

This is what Flexport publishes, not what you will be quoted. A published rate card is a starting point and a negotiating baseline, not an offer — your volume, profile and contract change it. We have no relationship with Flexport, take no referral fees, and publish every correction we make. If a figure here disagrees with their page on the day you read it, tell us at data@ratecardlab.com.

  • minimum storage charge per DSKU: $0.01 → $0.10 per DSKU per day, changed 2026-01-01
  • monthly minimum fulfillment spend: $500 → $5,000 per month, changed 2026-01-01

A rate card in public can be edited in public. This is the part a screenshot cannot tell you and the reason every row here carries a date.

What Flexport does not publish

We looked for this fee on Flexport's own pages and found the figure withheld. A recorded absence is still data — it is the difference between "they do not publish it" and "we did not look", and it is the row class no competitor keeps.

  • domestic outbound fulfillment fee — unit or zone-based pricing varies by service level and item size (checked 2026-08-04)

When Flexport changes one of these

This table is derived from the dataset, so it changes when the dataset does. Leave an address and you get an email when one of the Flexport figures here moves or a withheld fee becomes public. Nothing else, and nothing on a schedule. To come off, email data@ratecardlab.com and we delete the record.

Comparing Flexport against other quotes?

A per-order rate is not comparable across vendors until you know what each one includes — see the normalization method, published free. The 3PL Quote Normalizer Kit automates it for up to five rate cards. Or send us the quotes: the gap check is free, and the full audit is $500 flat. For the market view: who publishes their rates at all, and the full 23-company table.
