I'm talking to them about DHL integration. The yclaim they had it, but it was just for shipping, ironically using the system I alreayd use, StarShipit.
So DHL's shipping system https://dhlexpresscommerce.com/ is actually just a StarShipit back end, same menu, same interface, everything.
I might trial Sendle for international shipment on Shopify and see how it goes. Not as fast as DHL, but pricing is intergated, possibly a bit cheaper, and they do pickup.

Doesn't Amazon already provide fulfillment services?  I thought they even had it set up where you could fulfill Amazon sales and third party sales from the same inventory?  Or are they too expensive or have some other issues?

Yeah looks like you are right:

https://supplychain.amazon.com/pricing#fulfillment

Selling directly on amazon he said was 17% rate, but that seems to be covered by the price differential (eg $199 on amazon $154 in eevstore).
There is a monthly storage fee as well (this should be the case everywhere).

Correct, I sell a lot of meters on Amazon and they hold the stock, it's called FBA Fullfilment By Amazon, and yes it's about 17% or so.
Crazy high, but so many people just like getting their free same or next day Prime shipment.

But do they not also offer the option of selling on your own platform with them handling the pick/pack/ship for a flat fee (not correlated with sales price)?

b/t/w, 17% for the whole show isn't as crazy as you might think--Prime card holders get 5% right off the top and then shipping is free.  So a BM235 is $139 from Amazon, $132 after my discount and shipping/30 day return is included.  If I buy it from your store for $115 and pay shipping, I'm saving.....how much?
