Why Houston?
Why a small warehouse?
Why now?
After 8 years moving products across borders — suppliers in Turkey, factories in China, customers in the US — I learned one thing: most 3PLs are built for one kind of client. Big, domestic, predictable.
Shipprep Houston is built for the other kind. International sellers launching into the US market. Brands who need someone to speak their supplier's language. Founders who want to know exactly what every unit costs to ship — before they commit.
We opened a small warehouse at the Port of Houston in 2026 because that's where the containers land, where the customs brokers work, and where we can reach 96% of US customers in 2 days by ground.
Small warehouse. Big care. That's the whole thing.
— Mustafa Demir, Founder
Four values. One test.
Every decision on our floor — how to price, what to promise, when to say no — runs through these four filters.
Precision
Every package treated like it's ours. Every count verified. Every label straight. Not because we're perfectionists — because your customers are.
Transparency
Every fee published. Every metric shared. Every claim investigated openly. If we won't put it in writing, we won't say it in marketing.
Partnership
Your brand is our business. Wins that don't help both sides aren't wins. We'd rather lose a deal than sign one that hurts either of us in six months.
Global
We speak English, Türkçe, and Español on the floor. Your supplier in Istanbul and your buyer in Houston shouldn't need a translator to reach us.
Why Port of Houston?
If we'd opened in Los Angeles, we'd be waiting in line for container unloads with every other West Coast 3PL. If we'd opened in New Jersey, we'd be paying twice the rent for half the floor space.
We opened in Houston because it's the best-kept secret in US fulfillment.
