Short answers before you send inventory
Turnaround time
Most standard prep is completed in 24–48 hours after check-in is complete. Larger or complex prep projects may take 48–72 hours.
Check-in process
When your shipment arrives, we receive cartons/pallets, count units, and run a basic visual inspection. Prep begins after check-in is complete.
Storage rules
We include 14 days of free staging after check-in. After that window, storage is billed monthly by active pallet usage.
What we accept (approval-required items)
We accept most standard non-hazmat products. Hazmat, aerosols, liquids, fragile glass, meltables, and temperature-sensitive items require approval before shipping.
Amazon compliance and labeling
We follow Amazon prep requirements by product type, including label and protection rules. Final compliance responsibility remains with the seller.
Damage, missing items, and discrepancies
If we find damage, missing units, or count mismatches at intake, we notify you before prep. Photo proof can be provided as an add-on.
Outbound shipping and carrier charges
We can ship SPD/LTL to Amazon or forward cartons/pallets. Postage and freight charges are billed separately unless otherwise agreed.
Payment terms and minimums
Invoices are due before outbound shipping. New customers or large first shipments may require a deposit. Suggested minimum invoice is $50 per request/shipment.
What is a prep center and why do Amazon sellers use one?
An FBA prep center (or 3PL prep service) receives, inspects, labels, and packs your inventory before it ships to Amazon's fulfillment centers. Sellers use prep centers to save time, reduce costly FBA compliance errors, and scale without renting their own warehouse space.
Can you prep for Walmart WFS or Shopify orders?
We specialize in Amazon FBA and FBM prep workflows. For Walmart WFS or Shopify/DTC outbound, contact us to discuss your SOP — many workflows overlap and we can often accommodate them.
How do I ship inventory to your Tampa prep center?
Route cartons or pallets to 5806 N 53rd St, Tampa, FL 33610. Share your ASIN list and expected arrival date before shipping. We'll confirm receipt, count units, and notify you before prep begins. Most inbound methods including SPD, UPS, FedEx, and LTL pallets are accepted.
Do you work with Amazon wholesale sellers?
Yes. Wholesale sellers are one of our primary customer types. Wholesale labeling starts at $0.80 per unit. We handle high-volume replenishment cycles and can manage regular inbound schedules.
