What a New Jersey Seller Actually Gains
New Jersey is the state most QuickShipment customers are comparing us against, because it is the default East Coast 3PL location. The honest answer is that New Jersey wins on proximity to the port and Delaware wins on cost — which one matters depends on how fast your inventory turns.
Our Claymont facility is about 45 minutes from South Jersey — roughly 45 miles, a 45 minutes drive. That is close enough to visit and far enough to sit in a state with no sales tax at all.
The tax difference, in numbers
| Where you buy | Combined sales tax | On $250,000 of purchases |
|---|---|---|
| New Jersey | 6.625% | $16,563 |
| Claymont, Delaware | 0% | $0 |
New Jersey's rate is a single statewide rate with no county or city additions. Delaware is one of five US states with no state or local sales tax, which is why the second row is a zero rather than a smaller number.
Read this honestly: if you buy for resale and hold a valid resale certificate, many of those purchases may already be exempt where you are. The Delaware position matters most for the purchases a certificate does not cover — packaging and supplies, equipment, samples, prototypes — and for keeping your fulfilment footprint out of a taxing state. Your own position depends on your business structure, so check it with your accountant.
Transit, not just distance
If you move a container every two weeks and it never sits, the port proximity is worth more than the tax. If inventory rests for a month or more between arrival and sale — which is the normal case for FBA sellers replenishing on a schedule — the arithmetic flips to Delaware. We have written a full comparison in our Delaware vs New Jersey warehouse guide.
Outbound, Claymont sits on the I-95 corridor, which puts two-to-three day ground transit within reach of most US destinations and puts the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia fulfilment centres inside a short inbound leg.
Which service fits New Jersey sellers
- Amazon FBA prep — receiving, FNSKU labelling, poly bagging, carton prep and shipment creation, at $0.69–$2.00 per unit depending on monthly volume. Since Amazon ended its US prep services on 1 January 2026, this stopped being optional.
