US-China FBA Inbound & Overseas Warehouse Cost Benchmarks 2026
A Bilingual Whitepaper by SHAREWAYS
A cost-transparency guide for cross-border sellers: industry benchmarks, China-US warehousing cost comparison, and large-item fulfillment pricing reference.
Why This Whitepaper?
Opaque logistics pricing is one of the biggest pain points for cross-border sellers. Fulfill.com surveyed 600+ warehouses and published 16 3PL cost benchmarks (industry benchmark source, fulfill.com/3pl-pricing), giving the industry a reference yardstick. SHAREWAYS, based on operational data from our 13 global overseas warehouses (6 US / 2 Canada / 5 Europe) and publicly available industry benchmarks, compiled this whitepaper to help sellers make informed decisions when selecting warehouses, comparing prices, and planning budgets.
