Peptide Fulfillment Pricing Guide (2026): Every Cost, Explained

Pure Chain Logistics Group sells fulfillment, so the numbers below that carry our name are our published prices rather than a neutral survey. Where a cost belongs to somebody else — your host, your processor — this page says so and does not put a number on it.

Most of the confusion in this category comes from comparing one provider's vial price against another's, when the fee structure wrapped around that vial price is what actually decides the total. This page walks the whole stack: the two structures you will encounter, the arithmetic on a real order, what it costs to open the door, and what never appears on the invoice.

The two pricing models in peptide fulfillment

Providers in this category price one of two ways, and the difference is not cosmetic. It changes which order sizes and which volumes are cheap for you.

The per-order fee model

Under this structure the service is billed separately from the goods. A pack fee attaches to every order, and published rates in this category work out to roughly $2 to $3.50 per order once the base pack rate, per-additional-pick charges, and box-assembly lines are added together. On top of that sits a recurring monthly charge, with published figures ranging from about $49 a month at entry tiers to $350 a month where cold storage is included.

The monthly line is the one that surprises people, because its real cost per order depends entirely on your volume. A $150 monthly fee is $1.50 on every order if you ship 100 a month. Ship 20 a month and the same fee is $7.50 an order before a single vial is counted. That is the whole argument against judging a provider by its wholesale sheet alone. Named per-provider figures, with sources, are in our fulfillment services comparison.

The wholesale-plus-postage model

This is the structure we run. You pay the wholesale price of the product, $1 per vial to label it, and postage at what the carrier charges. Pulling the vial, packing the parcel, and assembling the box are part of the product price rather than separate lines, and there is no recurring charge underneath any of it. The cost of a quiet month is the cost of the orders in it.

Neither structure is universally cheaper. A flat per-order fee spreads better across large multi-vial orders; a per-vial fee is cheaper on small ones; a monthly subscription rewards high volume and punishes low. The honest way to choose is to take your last hundred orders, count the average vials per order, and run both structures against that history.

A worked example order

Take a single vial of BPC-157 10 mg, which we list at $18.00 wholesale in the wholesale catalog. Say you retail it at $50. Your side of the transaction looks like this:

Two honest notes on that arithmetic. First, the $50 retail price is an illustration, not a recommendation or an observed average — you set retail, and your margin is whatever you set it to minus the three lines above. Second, this is order margin, not profit. Your payment processor takes a percentage of the retail charge, and processing rates in this category run above standard card rates and vary by processor, so that number has to come out of the spread before you call it earnings. We do not publish an "average brand makes $X" figure because there is no honest way to produce one: it would depend on your pricing, your product mix, your traffic cost, your refund rate, and your processor.

What it costs to start

Two of the lines below are ours. The rest are paid to other vendors, and we are not going to invent numbers for services we do not sell.

So the floor to start with an existing store is $1,000, and that $1,000 is credit you spend on your own orders rather than money you hand over. The floor to start without a store is $6,500 plus the vendor costs above. If you are still working through the decisions that come before pricing, the starting a peptide brand FAQ covers them.

What is not charged in our model

These are the line items that do not exist on our invoices, at any order size:

• No setup or onboarding fee.
• No monthly fee and no monthly minimum.
• No minimum order quantity — order one vial or a thousand.
• No pick fee, pack fee, or box-assembly fee.
• No per-order handling fee.
• No markup on postage.

Two optional charges exist, and both are conditional rather than standing. Parcel protection is $1.49 per order and you elect it per order, so you can carry the risk yourself on low-value parcels and insure the expensive ones. An address correction is $3.50, and it only appears when the carrier flags a bad address on a shipment you sent us — it is a pass-through of a carrier event, not a service we sell.

How billing actually works

Invoicing runs weekly on net-7 terms, itemized per order, and invoices are paid by wire, ACH, or Zelle. In practice that means you collect retail from your customer at checkout and settle the wholesale side up to a week later, so the working capital cycle runs in your favor instead of against it.

The deposit sits ahead of that cycle. It is drawn down against product and shipping on your first orders, and whatever is left stays on the account as credit rather than expiring. Nothing about it is a payment for access, which is the practical difference between a deposit and a setup fee.
