Our pricing is the same for all sellers nationwide: $0.40 to $1.50 per unit. Basic FNSKU labeling is $0.40, polybagging is $0.50, and bundling starts at $0.75. No minimum order size and no long-term contracts.

Can I source wholesale products and have them prepped for Amazon?
Yes. Catalist is the only platform that combines wholesale sourcing from 1,200+ brands with FBA prep. Source products, place orders, and we handle the rest -- prep, labeling, and shipping to Amazon FCs.
Do you handle large or heavy items for Amazon FBA?
We handle standard, oversized, and heavy-bulky items. Houston sellers frequently send us Industrial and Home Improvement products that require special packaging. Pricing for oversized items ranges from $0.75 to $1.50 per unit.
What is Texas's sales tax situation for Amazon sellers?
Texas has a 6.25% state sales tax rate (local rates can push the combined rate higher). However, Texas has no state income tax, which is a significant advantage for ecommerce sellers. Amazon collects and remits sales tax on marketplace sales.
