The Portless Wholesale Pricing Card helps you estimate the shipping cost for wholesale orders based on the delivery method you choose. It’s a forecasting tool designed for quick, high-level estimates and does not include duties. Most merchants use this card to compare methods and make faster fulfillment decisions.
Note: The quote provided by our Wholesale Team covers shipping costs only and does not include any applicable taxes or duties.
Shipping methods available
There are three shipping options shown on the pricing card. Each offers different transit times and cost levels:
Method | Description |
• Ships via our standard bulky line service • Takes approximately six to ten business days • Uses standard last-mile carriers | |
• Air freight via UPS • Delivers in approximately three to six business days | |
• Sea freight using Matson fast boats • Transferred to UPS for last-mile delivery • Takes approximately twenty-one to twenty-eight business days |
Labor costs explained
Labor costs are usually not billed for wholesale orders. However, if the order requires a labor-intensive process (such as special handling or repacking), the following rates apply:
$15/hour
The first four hours of labor are waived
You’ll only be billed if the handling exceeds four hours.
Optional: Using your own freight forwarder
If you can find more competitive rates with your own freight forwarder, you’re welcome to arrange for pickup. In that case, Portless will only charge you the labor cost, if applicable.
