FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bundling, palletization, ASN transmission. Inbound from Asia clears the Port of Long Beach and arrives at our dock the same day — meaningfully faster than East Coast prep services.
Amazon's prep requirements are strict and Amazon's penalties for violations are expensive. Here's exactly what we do for every inbound unit destined for FBA.
Containers clear the Port of Long Beach and arrive at our dock within hours. Floor-loaded or palletized containers are unloaded and staged for prep within 24 hours.
Every shipment is verified against your PO. SKUs counted, condition inspected, expiry dates checked, lot codes recorded. Damaged units flagged before they enter Amazon's network and trigger compliance penalties.
Every unit gets an FNSKU barcode label printed at our facility. Labels are properly positioned to be scannable at Amazon's receiving stations. Critical for FBA receiving accuracy.
Polybagging for soft goods, suffocation warnings, bubble wrap for fragile, double-boxing for sets, bundling for multipacks, expiry labels for consumables, hazmat documentation for regulated categories.
Units organized by SKU, palletized to Amazon spec, stretch-wrapped, labeled with shipment IDs. SPD (small parcel) or LTL pallets routed by your strategy.
ASN transmitted to Amazon Seller Central. Pallets tendered to your designated carrier or Amazon Partnered Carrier (UPS LTL). Tracking confirmation emailed.
If your inventory comes from Asia, every day saved in inbound transit is a day earlier you start selling on Amazon. LA-based prep is structurally faster than East Coast or Midwest prep.
Our facility is within drayage range of the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles. Containers can clear customs and arrive at our dock the same day. East Coast prep services need 5-7 days of cross-country drayage first.
Polybag, suffocation labels, bubble wrap, fragile labels, multi-packs, kit assembly, hazmat documentation, expiry dating, lot tracking — every requirement Amazon imposes is supported.
Lithium batteries, aerosols, magnetized items, regulated supplements — all handled by trained staff with proper UN-rated packaging on-site.
Standard prep services have fixed per-unit pricing. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "premium prep" tier markup. Every line item appears on the invoice.
Amazon penalizes shipments without proper ASN transmission. Our WMS generates and transmits ASN to Seller Central automatically, in the correct format, with correct timing.
Same inventory pool serves both FBA prep (shipped to Amazon warehouses) and FBM (shipped direct to Amazon customers from our dock). One operation, both channels.
The default high-conviction case. LA port proximity is a structural advantage for Asia-sourced FBA inventory.
First-time FBA inbound needs to be perfect — Amazon's penalties for non-compliance get expensive fast. We handle first-launch inbound with extra inspection rigor.
If you've been polybagging and FNSKU-labeling in a garage, switching to a prep service typically frees 20-40 hours per week of founder time.
Some SKUs go to FBA (high velocity, FBA-economic), others go FBM (oversize, hazmat, low velocity). One inventory pool, two channel workflows.
Lithium battery products, aerosols, magnetized items, certain supplements — all categories with restrictions. We have the compliance experience and the certified packaging.
Most modern brands don't sell only on Amazon. Multi-channel operation with FBA as one of many — fully supported, same inventory.
FBA prep services priced per unit. Standard prep (FNSKU label only) starts at $0.50/unit. Polybag $0.15-$0.25/unit. Bundling $0.40-$1.00/unit depending on complexity. Container unloading $475 (20') or $550 (40'). Receiving and storage per our standard pricing.
Every line item itemized. ACH/wire billing.
