FBA Prep, Handled From Your Portal to Amazon's Dock
If you've prepped orders for Amazon FBA, you know how time consuming it can be: entering data, chasing labels, adjusting box contents, and going back and forth with your 3PL. Our new FBA Prep Order Integration removes all of it. You submit an order in a few clicks, and the rest runs on its own.
Best for Amazon sellers who want to replenish FBA inventory without manual prep work or Seller Central data entry.
What Happens Automatically
Inbound Plan Created
Once we receive your order, we create the inbound plan with Amazon on your behalf. No action needed from you.
SKU Labeling & Prep
Amazon tells us the labeling and prep requirements from your Seller Central account. We handle it, including printing labels directly from Amazon.
Box Contents Sent
We create and transmit accurate box contents straight to Amazon, eliminating manual entry and compliance errors.
Cheapest Shipping Picked
The system selects the most cost-effective shipping option and prints the shipping labels straight from Amazon.
Hands-Free Processing
The full workflow runs without check-ins or back-and-forth. Your order moves, you don't have to.

What is FBA prep?
FBA prep is the inspection, packing, and labeling required to get products ready for Amazon's Fulfillment by Amazon program. Amazon has strict requirements, and prep makes sure your inventory meets them so it isn't rejected or penalized at the fulfillment center. Learn more in our complete guide to FBA prep.
What is the FBA Prep Order Integration?
It's our direct integration with Amazon that automates FBA replenishment. It creates your inbound plan, applies the right labeling and box contents, and selects the cheapest shipping automatically, so you can send inventory to Amazon in a few clicks with no manual data entry.
Is Amazon ending its FBA prep services?
Amazon has announced plans to wind down its in-house FBA prep services, which is leading many sellers to line up an independent prep partner. We explain what's changing and how to prepare in our guide, Amazon to End FBA Prep Services by 2026. As a dedicated FBA prep center since 2001, EFS is built to fill that gap.
What products can you prep for Amazon FBA?
We prep a wide range of products for FBA, including fragile, sharp, and liquid items that need extra protection to survive Amazon's fulfillment centers. Our team handles poly-bagging, bubble wrapping, taping, opaque bagging, bundling, and FNSKU labeling, and we position labels and protective packaging exactly the way Amazon requires so your shipments aren't flagged or penalized.
Do you have order minimums?
No. We work with sellers of every size, from first-time Amazon sellers to high-volume merchants. Prep 50 units or 50,000, with no minimums and no setup fees.
How much does FBA prep cost?
Pricing is per unit for prep, with fair, straightforward storage rates and no setup fees or long-term contracts. Try our FBA prep calculator, or contact us for a custom quote based on your products and volume.
How fast will my inventory ship to Amazon?
We turn orders around quickly and select the most cost-effective shipping method, so your inventory lands in stock and your Amazon IPI score stays healthy.
What is Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM), and do you offer it?
Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) is when the seller, rather than Amazon, stores, packs, and ships orders directly to customers. Many sellers run FBM alongside FBA to keep selling when FBA inventory runs low, to handle oversized or restricted items, or to protect margins on slower-moving SKUs. EFS offers full FBM fulfillment from the same warehouse that handles your FBA prep, so you can run both models from one inventory pool.
Where is your FBA prep center located?
Our FBA prep center is a 200,000 sq ft warehouse in Traverse City, Michigan. The location is a real advantage: many prep services, such as labeling, poly-bagging, and bubble wrapping, are untaxed in Michigan, which can lower your total landed cost per unit compared with prep centers in states that tax those services.
Can you store my overflow Amazon inventory?
Yes. Many clients use our 200,000 sq ft warehouse to hold overflow inventory and replenish FBA on demand, which helps avoid Amazon's storage limits and long-term storage fees.
Do you process Amazon removal orders?
Yes. When inventory is removed from Amazon, we receive it, sort mixed SKUs, inspect it, and get it back into sellable condition, whether that means restocking, reshipping, or returning it to you.
