Prepped to FBA rules, accepted the first time
A shipment turned away at the fulfillment centre costs you time you cannot get back. We prep your goods to Amazon’s requirements and ship them inbound, so the inventory is received rather than returned.
What FBA prep covers
The steps between a factory carton and an accepted shipment
FBA rejects inventory for reasons that are entirely avoidable — a missing label, the wrong bag, a carton over weight. These are the checks that keep that from happening.
Labelling to spec
FNSKU and shipping labels are applied to the item and carton as Amazon requires, so units scan correctly on receipt.
Poly-bagging and protection
Items that need bagging, bubble or a suffocation warning are prepared to the rules, so nothing is flagged as non-compliant.
Bundling and kitting
Multi-packs and sets are assembled and labelled as a single sellable unit, rather than arriving as loose pieces.
Inspection before prep
Goods are checked against the approved sample first, so you are not paying to prep and ship a defective batch.
Carton and box limits
Weight and dimension limits are checked before dispatch, because a carton over the line is a shipment held at the door.
Inbound shipping
Prepped inventory is shipped to the fulfillment centre, so the same partner that made it also gets it accepted.
How an FBA prep job runs
Five steps from carton to accepted inventory
You send the plan
- Tell us the SKUs, quantities and the prep each one needs.
- Share the FBA shipment details so labels match the plan.
- Flag anything category-specific, like a required warning or expiry format.

Goods are received and inspected
- Cartons are received and counted against what was expected.
- Units are checked against the approved sample before any prep begins.
- Defects are raised before they are labelled, not after they ship.

Shipped inbound
- Prepped cartons are booked and shipped to the fulfillment centre.
- The inbound tracking is shared so you can follow it to the door.
- Paperwork travels with the shipment so receipt is not held up.

Received and selling
- Inventory is accepted and becomes sellable on your listing.
- Any discrepancy is flagged so it can be reconciled early.
- Replenishment reuses the same prep spec, so the next run is faster.
Prep and inbound can run straight off a sourcing job, so goods never touch your hands.

Prep a shipmentBefore you send a prep job
The questions Amazon sellers ask about getting inventory in.
Into Amazon. FBA prep is an inbound job — we get your inventory prepped to the rules and accepted at the fulfillment centre. Amazon then handles delivery to the customer. For direct-to-customer shipping, see the other fulfillment pages.
Yes, and that is the tidy case: goods are made, inspected, prepped and shipped inbound without ever passing through your hands. It also means the same standard runs from factory to fulfillment centre.
The avoidable reasons — a missing or wrong label, the wrong bag, a carton over the weight or size limit, a missing warning. Each of those is checked before dispatch, so the shipment is not turned away at the door.
The SKUs and quantities, the prep each one needs, and the FBA shipment details so labels match. Anything category-specific — a required warning or expiry format — is worth flagging up front. Send it to [support email].
