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.

we first recorded them
- 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difference between "they do not publish it" and "we did not look", and it is the row class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)
Going deeper on one line: the $5,000 monthly minimum, priced , and its Q4 storage schedule .
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.
