Amazon FBA Prep Services That Ship to Amazon's Network With Zero Rejections
Your U.S.-based FBA prep center — FNSKU labeling, poly bagging, bundling, and full pallet builds completed to Amazon's exact specifications.
Why Amazon FBA Prep Demand Is at an All-Time High in 2026
Amazon discontinued its internal FBA Prep Service for most sellers in January 2026. Every Amazon seller who previously relied on Amazon to label, bag, and prep inventory must now use an external FBA prep center. This shift has created unprecedented demand for third-party prep services — and sellers without a reliable prep partner are facing delays, non-compliance fees, and stranded inventory.
Our Amazon FBA prep services handle every compliance requirement Amazon places on inbound shipments — so your inventory enters Amazon's fulfillment network on the first attempt, without delays, penalties, or costly resubmissions.
Our facility sits 18 miles from Amazon's Middletown fulfillment center, making us one of the closest FBA prep centers to a major Amazon FC on the East Coast. Once prepped at our warehouse, your inventory reaches Amazon's network in under 30 minutes. Combined with Delaware's 0% sales tax on most B2B purchases — which reduces your inbound inventory cost by up to 8–9% compared to prep centers in neighboring states — our location is a genuine cost and speed advantage, not a marketing claim.
What Our FBA Prep Service Covers
Every task Amazon requires before your inventory can enter their fulfillment centers — handled by our prep team to Amazon's current compliance standards.
🏷️ FNSKU Labeling
Every unit receives an FNSKU barcode label placed according to Amazon's specifications — correct size, correct placement, no obstructions over existing barcodes. We pull label requirements directly from your Seller Central shipping plan to eliminate mismatches.
🛍️ Poly Bagging
Products requiring suffocation warning bags are bagged to Amazon's poly bagging requirements — correct bag gauge, correct warning label, and sealed to prevent opening in transit. We handle standard items, apparel, soft goods, and multi-unit products.
📦 Bundling & Multi-Pack Prep
Multi-product bundles and multi-packs are assembled, labeled as a single ASIN, and prepared to Amazon's bundle compliance standards. We also handle promotional sets and variation groupings.
🔍 Product Inspection
Units are inspected on arrival for damage, quantity accuracy, and condition before prep begins. Defective or non-compliant units are flagged and reported before they enter the prep queue — not after Amazon rejects them.
📅 Expiration Date Tracking
Products with expiration dates — supplements, food items, beauty products — are tracked by lot and batch. Units with dates outside Amazon's minimum expiration window are quarantined and flagged before they're prepped and shipped.
🔒 Fragile & Oversize Handling
Fragile items requiring bubble wrap, foam padding, or special outer packaging are handled per Amazon's fragile item requirements. Oversize units are prepped and palletized to Amazon's inbound shipment specifications.
📋 Pallet Building & LTL Shipments
Full pallet builds for LTL shipments to Amazon's fulfillment centers — correct stacking, stretch wrapping, pallet labels, and shipment documentation included. We coordinate the shipping plan creation in Seller Central as part of the prep workflow.
How Our FBA Prep Process Works
Simple, transparent, and built for speed — from receipt to Amazon's network.
Ship Your Inventory to Us
Send your products to our warehouse at 16 Germay Drive, Unit B, Wilmington, DE 19804. We receive, count, and inspect every unit. You get a confirmed inbound count within one business day — before any prep begins.
Share Your Shipping Plan
Send us your Amazon Seller Central shipping plan. We pull the FNSKU requirements, unit quantities, and any product-specific prep instructions directly from your plan — no back-and-forth needed.
We Prep to Amazon's Standards
Our team completes all required prep — labeling, bagging, bundling, inspection, expiration tracking, and pallet building — to Amazon's current inbound compliance requirements. Prep is completed within 3–5 business days of receiving your inventory.
We Ship Directly to Amazon
Your prepped inventory is shipped directly to the Amazon fulfillment center(s) specified in your shipping plan. Our Wilmington facility is 18 miles from Amazon's Middletown FC — your inventory enters Amazon's network the same day it leaves our dock.
Why Amazon Sellers Choose Lite Fulfillment for FBA Prep
We've built our reputation on accuracy, speed, and transparency — and it's why 500+ brands trust us with their Amazon inventory.
Zero Shipment Rejection Rate
In our experience running FBA prep for Amazon sellers across multiple product categories — supplements, electronics, apparel, beauty, general merchandise — we have maintained a zero shipment rejection rate across every client account we've processed. Amazon's rejection rate for non-compliant prep is typically 5–15% at most prep centers. A rejection means your inventory is returned, your restock timeline is set back by weeks, and you pay Amazon's non-compliance fees on top.
18 Miles From Amazon's East Coast FC
Our warehouse at 16 Germay Drive is 18 miles from Amazon's Middletown fulfillment center. Once your inventory leaves our dock, it enters Amazon's network in under 30 minutes. No cross-country LTL wait. No multi-day transit to the FC. For sellers racing to get inventory live before a promotion or peak season window, this proximity is a real operational advantage.
Tax-Free Inbound — 0% Sales Tax
Delaware charges 0% sales tax on most B2B purchases. For sellers sending inventory to our facility for FBA prep, that's an 8–9% cost reduction on inbound inventory compared to prep centers operating in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Maryland. Over the course of a year, for a brand moving significant volume, this is a meaningful cost difference.
Combine FBA Prep With FBM Fulfillment
Many Amazon sellers run both FBA and Seller-Fulfilled Prime or FBM simultaneously. Our facility handles both from the same inventory pool — FBA prep for Amazon's network and direct-to-customer FBM fulfillment from the same warehouse, tracked in real time across both channels.
An FBA prep center is a third-party warehouse that prepares your inventory to Amazon's inbound compliance requirements before shipping it to Amazon's fulfillment centers. Since Amazon discontinued its own internal FBA Prep Service for most sellers in January 2026, every seller whose products require labeling, poly bagging, bundling, or special handling must now use an external prep center or manage prep in-house. Using a dedicated FBA prep center eliminates compliance errors, prevents non-compliance fees, and removes the prep workload from your operations.
We cover the full range of Amazon inbound compliance requirements: FNSKU labeling, poly bagging with suffocation warning labels, multi-pack and bundle prep, product inspection, expiration date tracking and lot control, fragile item wrapping and padding, oversize handling, and full pallet builds for LTL shipments. If your product has a specific prep requirement not listed here, contact us before sending inventory and we'll confirm whether we handle it.
Zero. We have maintained a zero shipment rejection rate across every FBA prep client we've processed. We achieve this by pulling prep requirements directly from your Seller Central shipping plan, inspecting units before prep begins, and conducting a compliance check before your inventory leaves our dock. A rejection at Amazon costs you time, return shipping fees, and Amazon non-compliance charges — our process is built around preventing this entirely.
We ship to Amazon fulfillment centers across the United States as specified in your Seller Central shipping plan. Our warehouse is 18 miles from Amazon's Middletown fulfillment center, which is one of Amazon's primary East Coast receiving hubs. Prepped inventory sent to that FC enters Amazon's network the same day it leaves our dock.
For most standard prep orders, we complete prep within 3–5 business days of receiving and confirming your inbound inventory count. Turnaround depends on order volume, product complexity, and the specific prep requirements involved. Rush prep timelines are available — contact us to discuss if you're working against a promotional launch or peak season window.
Yes. We offer warehouse storage before and after prep — useful for sellers managing inventory flow, seasonal builds, or staggered FBA replenishment. Storage is billed month-to-month with no minimum commitment. Inventory stored with us can also be used for FBM direct-to-customer fulfillment if you run both channels simultaneously.
Yes. We have specific protocols for products with expiration requirements — lot tracking, batch control, and minimum expiration date verification before prep begins. Our climate-controlled storage zones are used for supplements, vitamins, and temperature-sensitive beauty products. We flag and quarantine any units with dates outside Amazon's minimum expiration window before they enter the prep queue.
