Amazon FBA Prep Service: Your Pathway to Efficiency and Profitability
What is an Amazon FBA Prep Service and How Does It Work?
An Amazon FBA Prep Service is a specialized third-party logistics solution that inspects, prepares, and forwards your inventory to meet Amazon’s strict FBA requirements. When you sell via FBA, Amazon demands perfection. Every single unit must meet their packaging, labeling, and shipping guidelines. Failure means chargebacks, inventory held at receiving, or even account suspension.
Here’s how our FBA Prep Service at Metro-Pack works:
You send us your inventory
Ship your bulk inventory from your supplier directly to our facility at 37 Jeanne Drive, Newburgh, NY 12550. We handle receiving and inbound reconciliation.
We inspect & prep
Our trained team performs a 20-point quality check. We then execute all required prep - FNSKU labeling, poly-bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrapping, bundling, and kitting.
We create Amazon-compliant shipments
We create your shipment plan in Seller Central, pack cartons as per Amazon's carton and pallet requirements, and generate 2D barcoded box labels.
We ship directly to Amazon FCs
We partner with major carriers and Amazon Partnered Carriers to ship your compliant inventory directly to Amazon fulfillment centers across the tri-state area and nationwide, with tracking uploaded to your portal.
Our Comprehensive New York FBA Prep Services Include:
01. Receiving and inventory inspection
We receive bulk containers, pallets, and parcels. Every SKU is counted, checked for damage, expiration dates, and manufacturing defects before it touches the prep table.
02. FNSKU & FBA labeling service
We apply Amazon FNSKU labels with 100% accuracy, ensuring correct placement and scannability. We also cover existing manufacturer barcodes as per Amazon standards to avoid listing errors.
03. Poly bagging & suffocation warning
All apparel, fabric, and exposed products are poly-bagged with a self-sealing bag and a printed suffocation warning that meets Amazon's 5-inch rule. This is non-negotiable for Amazon compliance.
04. Bundling, kitting & assembly
Selling a bundle or multi-pack? We create retail-ready kits, bundle sets with branded packaging, and assemble multi-unit packs with custom inserts and compliant labeling.
05. Bubble wrap & fragile item protection
For glass, ceramics, and fragile products, we provide professional-grade bubble wrapping and dunnage to eliminate in-transit damage and customer returns.
06. Carton forwarding, palletization & prep
We build Amazon-compliant pallets, apply pallet labels, shrink-wrap, and ensure your LTL and FTL shipments meet Amazon's strict routing and appointment requirements.
