Boxes Distribution Finished products to dispensaries

Shipping to retail? Use distribution.

A whole van is the expensive way to send finished product to one dispensary. Boxes warehouses everything it distributes, so each dispensary run is split across many products from many brands on one route.

We pick up at your facility, store it in a climate- and humidity-controlled bank vault, list it on app.boxes.market, deliver it to the retailer and collect the money. You’re paid weekly or sooner. No exclusivity, and we ask for price parity.

For marketplace sellers

Flat-rate cannabis transport for any amount of product, anywhere in Minnesota.

Sell on Boxes and the hourly van rate isn’t your only option. Email help@boxes.market to set one up.

How is the price calculated?

You pay the hourly rate for the whole van × the estimated drive time from Google Maps. The drive runs from our facility in St. Paul to point A, to point B, and back to St. Paul. The freezer van is $175/hr and the regular cargo van is $150/hr, round trip. The rate is flat regardless of how much you move: it doesn’t cost us more to carry more cargo, so we don’t charge you more. Rates may fluctuate with demand and availability.

How does scheduling my transport work?

Email help@boxes.market with whether the load is frozen, your requested date, and the address, contact name, email, company and license ID for both pickup and drop-off. Scheduling is first come, first served. Once proof of payment is in, a confirmation email with a time window goes to you and the receiver. In the rare case of a scheduling conflict, we’ll contact you to reschedule.

Where does Boxes transport to?

Anywhere in Minnesota. Boxes Transport is point-to-point cannabis transportation for cultivators, processors and manufacturers, and every run starts and ends at our facility in St. Paul. If you’re sending finished product to a dispensary, Boxes Distribution is the cheaper way to get it there.

How do payments work?

Payment comes before the transport: we need proof of payment 24 hours before the scheduled time. Bank transfers can be slow, so replying to the invoice with proof of the transfer is fine. Then we send the confirmation email to you and the receiver.

What do I do in Metrc?

As the shipper, create your Metrc manifest with Boxes as the transporter. The confirmation email has every detail the manifest needs.

How does freezer transportation work?

Frozen cannabis transport runs in our freezer van, which holds −20 °F for Whole Plant Fresh Frozen (WPFF). It’s $175/hr round trip for the entire van, priced and scheduled the same way as any other run. Just say the load is frozen in your email.

Do marketplace sellers get flat-rate transport?

Yes. Clients who sell on the Boxes marketplace can book flat-rate cannabis transport for any amount of product, going anywhere in Minnesota. Email help@boxes.market to set one up.

How does Boxes make money?

On transport, from the hourly van rate. On distribution, from a small, single-digit percentage markup on what sells, negotiated case by case. Nothing comes out of your pocket.
