What fulfilment costs are incurred in logistics?
The fulfilment costs are incurred for individual processes in logistics.
The costs differ in:
- Incoming goods
- Storage
- Preparation of goods
- Order picking
- Packing
- Labelling
- Shipping
- Returns
- Refurbishment / Reparatur
Every service requires staff, costs time and, of course, money.
As a company, you can take on the warehouse logistics and fulfilment yourself, always bear the fixed costs or outsource the tasks to a service provider.
However, it is usually up to 25% cheaper if you outsource the tasks to an external fulfilment centre.
Peaks in demand can also be better absorbed by the external provider with more staff.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions?
What are fulfilment costs?
Fulfilment costs include the entire process of order processing that we provide for you. This includes storing, picking, packing and shipping the goods. This also includes the use of fulfilment software. But also after-sales service, such as returns management and refurbishment of goods.
We also take care of other services such as container unloading, inventory, labelling and franking, pre FBA service, goods preparation, PAN EU service and much more.
What are the fulfilment costs?
There is a service fee for billing and connection with the fulfilment software at the marketplace, Wawi or your online shop. In addition, there are costs for goods receipt and storage per cubic metre. Both are calculated piece by piece based on the item dimensions. Each order incurs costs for picking, cardboard packaging (including filling material) and shipping labels.
Is there a service fee or minimum quantities?
We charge a monthly service fee, which already includes the use of the goods management software. There is no mandatory minimum quantity.
How are order, item and SKU calculated?
The incoming order, the quantity of the items and the different SKUs (delivery note items) are calculated. An example: A trader sells 600 packages of spices per month. For 1 order with 2 different SKU’s and 2 items. This order would cost €1.69 for pick and pack in the S offer.
When are costs incurred for returns?
Return costs are only incurred when the customer has activated the return label in the parcel shop. Subsequently, costs are incurred for the acceptance of the return, a visual inspection of the items, as well as the re-storage. On request, we can provide quality control, also for electronic items.
Do I get special conditions with the shipping service providers?
We send parcels via various shipping service providers at good conditions. You will receive your own client contract with us, adapted to your parcel shipments per year. However, you can also use your own shipping contract with your conditions with us.
Is there a minimum contract period?
No, there is no minimum contract period with us. You can cancel our fulfilment monthly at the end of the month and outsource your goods. When you leave us, we do not charge an additional fee for providing your goods.
Are there any other charges for container unloading?
When we unload a container, we do not charge an additional fee for the container when we receive the goods, but the cost of the time required per container unloading employee.
Do I get better conditions for certain quantities?
Yes, we offer special deals for certain quantities. Prices may vary depending on daily shipping or stock quantity.
What does Fulfillment by Amazon cost?
Amazon itself offers a fulfilment service. This offers the advantage that you can sell and ship the goods directly to the end customer via Amazon. The terms and conditions and their fulfilment prices must be observed for fulfilment by Amazon. Thus, storage costs vary depending on the season and can be as high as €36 per cubic metre.
What does Fulfillment by eBay cost?
eBay works with external partners to provide fulfilment services to its online merchants. One of the biggest partners is the company Orange Connex. Here you can find the Orange Connex price list 2022.
Is the packaging material included?
In offer S the cardboard box is already included in the price. Otherwise the costs for the packaging material will be added.
Are the fulfilment prices direct from the supplier?
Yes, Subke GmbH provides the logistics, warehouse and fulfilment service itself. We are not an intermediary.
Do retailers pay more for fulfilment if you increase your selling prices for the goods?
No, we do not charge our service as a percentage of the sales prices of the goods. Our prices are calculated on the basis of the logistics costs incurred.
Is the service fee included in the calculator?
Yes, the monthly service charge is included in the calculation. It includes the cost and service of the fulfilment software, the online dashboard and billing.
Does the warehouse price in the calculator also refer to pallets?
No, the price calculated in the calculator is for fulfilment items. Single-variety pallets are stored on the high rack in our Fulfilment Centre. The storage price for pallets is cheaper because of the lower effort. The pallet price is on the Fulfilment Costs page.
What are the differences between articles S, M and L?
The effort for large and heavy items is of course higher than for small items. Therefore, we have determined our prices for 3 article sizes S, M and L.
Are the prices added together in the goods receipt for articles, containers and pallets?
No, the prices are not added together. Either we calculate the price in the goods receipt for a pallet, container or individual items.
