A 3PL alternative to Walmart Fulfillment Services
Simpl ships your Walmart Marketplace orders from our Austin, TX warehouse, alongside every other channel you sell on. Pricing starts at $7/order.
Walmart Marketplace fulfillment without the WFS lock-in
Walmart Fulfillment Services keeps your inventory inside Walmart’s network, where it can only ship Walmart orders. If you also sell on Amazon, Shopify, or TikTok Shop, that stock can’t help you there.
Simpl runs your Walmart Marketplace orders out of one inventory pool that serves every channel, so a single shipment to our warehouse covers all of your storefronts. You keep control of your inventory, your packaging, and your terms.
WFS vs. an independent 3PL like Simpl
| Factor | Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) | Independent 3PL (Simpl) |
|---|---|---|
| Channels served | Walmart Marketplace only | Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and more from one inventory pool |
| Inventory control | Held inside Walmart's fulfillment network | Seller-controlled, shipped from our Austin, TX warehouse |
| Pricing model | Per-unit inbound, per-order by size tier, and storage by cubic foot | Starts at $7/order |
| Brand packaging | Walmart-standard packaging | Custom packaging available |
| Setup | Create WFS inbound shipments to Walmart's network | Send inventory to our warehouse and start shipping |
One inventory pool for every marketplace
Most sellers don’t live on a single channel. Simpl fulfills your Walmart Marketplace orders from the same stock we use for your other storefronts.
- Sell on Amazon too? We fulfill Amazon and Walmart orders from one inventory pool, so a single shipment covers both.
- Selling on TikTok Shop? The same warehouse ships your TikTok Shop orders from the stock you already have with us.
- Running a broader catalog? See our full ecommerce fulfillment services.
Simpl pricing for Walmart sellers
Starts at $7/order.
That covers three picks, postage, and packaging. Storage is billed by the space your inventory takes (bin, shelf, or pallet). A real quote takes your SKU mix, order profile, and ship zones into account.
Walmart fulfillment FAQs
- Can I use a third-party 3PL to fulfill Walmart Marketplace orders instead of WFS?
- Yes. Walmart Fulfillment Services is opt-in, not a requirement for selling on Walmart Marketplace. You can fulfill your Marketplace orders with an independent 3PL like Simpl, shipping from our Austin, TX warehouse.
- Will using a 3PL affect my Walmart 2-day delivery badge eligibility?
- Walmart's delivery-speed programs have their own requirements that depend on your catalog and your buyers' destinations. Tell us where your customers are and what you ship, and our team will walk through the delivery options that fit.
- What are the main limitations of Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS)?
- WFS holds your inventory inside Walmart's network and can only fulfill Walmart orders, so multi-channel sellers cannot use that stock for Amazon, Shopify, or TikTok Shop. WFS also applies product size, weight, and category restrictions, and its fee structure layers inbound, fulfillment, and storage charges.
- How does WFS pricing compare to using an independent 3PL like Simpl?
- WFS uses a layered fee model that combines per-unit inbound processing, per-order fulfillment by size tier, and storage by cubic foot. Simpl pricing starts at $7/order. We don't publish WFS's rates here, so check Walmart's current rate card for exact WFS figures. See full Simpl pricing at www.simplfulfillment.com/pricing.
