Cost + timeline + credentials, what do you actually charge?

Every project gets a fixed written quote. Send a short brief on WhatsApp and I reply within one working day with scope, price and timeline.

Realistic ranges for a packaging + shipping supplies distributor at $2M, $25M GMV:

• Contact me on WhatsApp for a quote. I reply within one working day with scope, price and timeline. Vertical-specific scope adds: 30k+ SKU catalog architecture, custom-branded mailer flow, ShipperHQ + LTL freight wiring, eco-cert filter taxonomy, subscription auto-ship, DOT hazmat compliance layer, B2B + Net-30 invoicing, PIM / channel-manager integration.
• Timeline: 8-14 weeks for a typical mid-market packaging distributor build. Faster (6 weeks) if catalog is under 5k SKUs and design is preserved; longer (16-24 weeks) when 30k+ SKUs + PIM + multi-region + B2B layer are all in scope.
• Hosting: $400, $1,500/mo on Cloudways / dedicated VPS. Packaging distributors get traffic bursts on Monday mornings (ecommerce sellers replenishing for the week), assume 3-5x base traffic Monday 6-10am. CDN (Cloudflare) mandatory.
• Ongoing: retainer for catalog ops, new-vendor onboarding, eco-cert RFP support, freight-carrier rate-card updates, subscription dunning.
