Somewhere around a few hundred sales, an Etsy shop stops being a craft and starts being a shipping department. ProShip3PL takes the second job: your finished pieces stock our Medley, FL racks, your Etsy orders get packed in your materials to your standard — tissue, twine, thank-you card and all — and carriers collect every weekday. You go back to the workbench.
Every Etsy success story hides the same arithmetic. Making forty candles takes a weekend you enjoy; packing forty orders takes a weekend you resent. As reviews accumulate and the algorithm rewards you, the ratio worsens — until the maker is a full-time shipper who crafts on stolen hours. The shop grew; the person shrank.
Traditional fulfillment feels like the wrong answer because most of it was built for factory goods. Makers picture a forklift operation crushing their ceramics into branded-nothing mailers, and reasonably decide to keep taping boxes themselves. The fear isn't about labor. It's about the parcel losing the evidence that a person made this.
So we run Etsy fulfillment as a documentation exercise: you pack one order the way you always do, photograph it, and ship us the materials. That photo becomes the floor standard, checked pack by pack. Tissue folded, sticker sealed, card enclosed. Your buyer's unboxing video looks exactly like it did when it was your kitchen.
The operation underneath is the same one that runs Shopify fulfillment and Amazon prep on this floor — counted receiving, bin storage, weekday dispatch. If your craft brand also sells through its own site or FBA, one pool of stock can serve all of it; the 3PL for FBA sellers guide covers that layer.
| Handmade concern | How we answer it |
|---|---|
| "It won't look handmade" | Your materials, your reference photo, checked on every pack |
| "I'm too small" | Bin-level storage, per-order pricing, no minimums or setup fee |
| "My work is fragile" | Written pack spec per piece type, tested before the first order |
| "Customs are half my sales" | Hybrid model: bestsellers stocked here, one-offs from your studio |
| "December will break someone" | It breaks on our staffing plan, built from your fall stock-up |
The craft that built the shop becomes the thing there's no time for. Move the packing here and the workbench gets its maker back; the shop keeps its shipping speed.
A feature or a trending tag can bury a solo operation overnight. On a warehouse floor the same spike is a longer pick list, cleared on the normal weekday rhythm.
Stock migrates to labeled bins on our racks — billed by the shelf, not the month — and your home quietly returns to being a home.
Gift season is the cruelest month for makers. Build stock here through fall, and November's wave hits a staffed floor with daily carrier pickups instead of your calendar.
Orders flow to our floor each day and leave with weekday carriers inside the 24–48 hour window, tracking flowing back to buyers.
Kraft, tissue, twine, wax seals, thank-you cards — your materials stored here and assembled to your reference photo.
A parcel of forty finished pieces is a normal inbound for us: counted, inspected and binned the day it arrives.
Ceramics, glass and framed work packed to a spec we test and you approve — with photo-flagged feedback if anything cracks.
A defined wrap-and-note option for Etsy gift orders, run with your materials so the recipient's first touch is still your brand.
The same bins can ship your website and marketplace orders — and even feed Amazon via bundling and FBA prep — when the brand outgrows Etsy alone.
Finished pieces ship (or drive, if you're in South Florida) to our Medley dock whenever a run wraps.
Each batch is verified, inspected and placed in your bin locations the day it lands — you see the updated counts.
Orders reach the floor daily and get assembled to your photographed standard, gift notes and all.
Parcels leave on weekday dispatches; buyers get tracking, you get your evenings and a live stock picture.
You make the products; we do everything after the sale. Finished goods ship or drive to our Medley, FL warehouse and rack as your stock. Etsy orders flow to our team daily, get picked, packed in your materials with your thank-you card, and leave with carriers on weekday dispatches — tracking goes back to your buyer.
That is the whole design constraint of this service. You send us the kraft boxes, tissue, twine, stickers and cards you already use, plus a photo of a finished pack — and that photo becomes the packing standard. Buyers open the same parcel you would have taped shut, minus your evenings.
Not here. There's no setup fee, no monthly minimum, and storage is billed by the space you actually occupy — a maker with two shelves of stock pays for two shelves. Plenty of shops start with us at under a hundred Etsy orders a month, precisely because the kitchen table stopped scaling first.
Honestly: partially. Anything customized at creation — engraving, custom colors — still has to be made by you. What works well is a hybrid: you batch-produce and send finished variants ahead, we ship the stocked ones same-day, and true one-offs ship from your studio. Many Etsy sellers stock their bestsellers here and keep customs at home.
October through December is why makers come to us. You produce ahead and build stock on our racks through the fall; when the November Etsy wave hits, it lands on a staffed warehouse floor instead of your dining table. Your December becomes production and family — the packing tape is our problem.
We can run a defined gift presentation — wrap style, ribbon, blank or printed note card — as a standard option on your Etsy orders, using materials you supply. Buyer-written gift messages that come through with an order can be included when we've set that flow up with you at onboarding.
By bin, not by pallet. Small-batch Etsy stock lives in labeled bin locations sized to what you make — twenty candles, forty prints, a shelf of ceramics — each counted in on arrival, decremented per pick, and reported so you know exactly when to fire up the next production run.
Fragile work gets a written pack spec before the first order ships: wrap layers, void fill, box strength, orientation. We test the spec, agree it with you, and then every fragile Etsy order is packed to it. Damage patterns, if any appear, get flagged to you with photos so the spec can evolve.
Yes — your return address becomes our dock. Returned pieces are opened, inspected and photographed; resellable items are repackaged in your materials and go back into stock, while damaged ones are held for your call. You decide what happens next from photos rather than a mystery box.
Tell us what you make, roughly how many Etsy orders you ship monthly, and how your packing works today — the form takes two minutes. Per-order pricing with no minimums comes back within one business day, along with any honest caveats about what should stay in your studio.
Describe what you make, your monthly Etsy volume, and what your signature pack looks like. We'll reply within one business day with per-order pricing, no minimums — and a straight answer on which parts of your shop belong here versus in your studio.
