​Understanding how an Amazon FBA Prep Centre works is essential for sellers looking to streamline their operations and ensure their products are Amazon-ready. At Express Prep, we handle every step of the preparation process with precision, allowing you to focus on growing your business while we manage the logistics. Here’s a breakdown of the critical steps involved in our FBA prep service.

We Receive and Unbox Your Inventory
When your inventory arrives at our prep centre, we carefully receive and unbox your products, ensuring everything is handled carefully and nothing is damaged in transit. If an item is damaged, we forward on evidence for you to claim a refund or replacement with your supplier.

Check in the Contents
Next, we check-in the contents of your shipment, verifying that the quantities and items match your order specifications so there are no surprises later.

Create a Shipment
We then create a shipment plan according to Amazon’s guidelines, ensuring your products are sent to the correct fulfilment centres efficiently and cost-effectively.

Label the Items
Each item is carefully labelled with the required FNSKU (Fulfilment Network Stock Keeping Unit) or any other necessary labels to ensure they are properly tracked within Amazon’s fulfilment network.

Package Them Up
After labelling, we package your products securely, following Amazon’s packaging guidelines to protect them during transit and meet all of Amazon’s requirements.

Process the Final Part of the Shipment
We handle the final processing of your shipment, ensuring all details are correct, and everything is ready for dispatch to Amazon's fulfilment centres.

Label Up the Box
We label the outer boxes with the appropriate shipping labels, making sure they are scannable and meet Amazon’s stringent labelling requirements.

Remove the Items from Your Prep Sheet
Finally, we update your prep sheet, removing the items that have been processed so you have a clear record of what has been sent.
