Delaware FBA Prep & 3PL Warehouse
Serving New York City
New York sellers pay up to 8.875% sales tax on inventory — one of the highest in the US. QuickShipment's Delaware warehouse eliminates that cost entirely. Just 2 hours from NYC via I-95, our Claymont facility serves New York Amazon, Shopify, and eBay sellers with 48-hour FBA prep and zero sales tax.

Skip NYC's 8.875% Tax
New York City's combined rate is 8.875% — among the highest in the country. Delaware's is 0%. On a $1M annual purchase budget that is an $88,750 difference.

What a New York Seller Actually Gains
New York City carries the highest combined rate of any market we serve, and warehouse space in the five boroughs is priced accordingly. For most sellers the question is not whether to leave the city but how far to go — and Claymont is the first zero-tax point south of it.
Our Claymont facility is about two hours down I-95 — roughly 120 miles, a 2 hours 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 York | 8.875% | $22,188 |
| Claymont, Delaware | 0% | $0 |
New York's rate is 4% New York State plus 4.875% New York City and MCTD. 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
Two hours is far enough that you will not drop in casually, so New York sellers use the dashboard and photo reports more than any other group. It is also close enough for a same-day round trip when a shipment genuinely needs eyes on it. Sellers importing through the Port of New York and New Jersey usually find drayage south to Claymont cheaper than storing in the metro area even before the tax.
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 York 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.
- FBM and DTC fulfilment — pick and pack from $3.00 per order by billable weight, with order sync for Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart, Etsy and WooCommerce.
- Storage — pallets billed daily from $5.00, tiering down to $2.00; carton and shelf storage at $5.00 per cubic foot per month for smaller volumes.
- Returns — $5.00 per unit to receive, inspect, grade and either restock or dispose. Most New York sellers use this before Q1, when the return wave lands.
Carton and parcel receiving is free; pallet receiving is $25.00 per pallet. There is no minimum, no setup fee and no long-term contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is your warehouse from New York?
Roughly 120 miles — about a 2 hours drive on I-95. Appointments are welcome during warehouse hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET.
What is the sales tax difference between New York and Delaware?
New York sits at 8.875% (4% New York State plus 4.875% New York City and MCTD). Delaware has no state or local sales tax. On $250,000 of purchases that is a $22,188 line item in one place and nothing in the other, before any resale exemption you may already hold.
Can I ship my inventory to you directly from my supplier or the port?
Yes. Give your supplier or freight forwarder our address — 950 Ridge Rd. STE D11, Claymont, DE 19703. We receive cartons, parcels, pallets and containers, and log everything within 24 hours of arrival.
How quickly can you turn a shipment around?
Standard FBA prep is 48 hours from receipt. Receiving and logging happen within 24 hours, so you see the count in your dashboard before prep starts.
Do I need to be a US company to use your warehouse?
No. We work with sellers based in and outside the United States. What matters is that you sell into the US market — where you personally live makes no difference to how we handle your inventory.
