How FBG-PREP Works
Understand our seamless process designed to get your products into Amazon’s fulfillment centers quickly and accurately, minimizing delays and maximizing your sales potential. We handle the complexities so you can focus on growing your business.
1. We Receive Your Goods at Our Warehouse
The first step to a smooth FBG process begins with your inventory arriving at our secure facility. We are equipped to handle shipments of all sizes, ensuring a hassle-free receiving experience for you.
Zero Receiving Fees
We pride ourselves on transparency. Unlike many other prep centers, FBG-PREPS charges NO receiving fees for pallets or containers. Your goods are accepted and processed without any hidden costs.
Upon arrival, our team logs your shipment, preparing it for the next stages of inspection and preparation. Our efficient intake system ensures that every item is accounted for from the moment it enters our doors.
2. Receiving, Control & Sorting
Accuracy is paramount in our process. Every incoming shipment undergoes a rigorous multi-point check to ensure that what you sent is what we received, and that it meets Amazon’s strict guidelines.
- Intake & Identification: Each package is scanned and matched against your provided manifest, ensuring precise tracking.
- Quantity Checks: We meticulously count units to verify quantities, flagging any discrepancies immediately for your review.
- Quality Control: Items are inspected for damage or defects, safeguarding your reputation and preventing costly returns.
- Separation: Goods are sorted efficiently based on SKU, FNSKU, or bundling requirements, optimizing for the next prep stage.
3. Preparation & Labeling
This is where your products transform into Amazon-ready inventory. Our expert team handles all the critical prep services required to meet FBG compliance.
- FNSKU Labeling: Accurate application of Amazon's unique FNSKU labels to each individual unit.
- Polybagging: Protecting your items from dust, damage, and spills with high-quality poly bags, complete with suffocation warnings.
- Bundling & Kitting: Creating multi-pack bundles or custom kits according to your specifications, optimizing product presentation.
- Expiration Date Labeling: Ensuring proper and visible expiration date labels for consumable goods.
- Retail Arbitrage (RA) Prep: We understand the unique needs of RA sellers, offering specialized services to get your sourced products ready for Amazon.
Retail Arbitrage Fully Supported
Retail Arbitrage is fully supported. Many prep centers refuse it — we don’t. We believe in empowering all types of Amazon sellers and provide the necessary services to help your RA business thrive.
4. Fast & Guaranteed Turnaround Times
Time is money in the FBG world. Our commitment to speed ensures your products move from our warehouse to Amazon’s fulfillment centers with minimal delay, keeping your inventory in stock and ready for sale.
- Service Level Agreements (SLAs): We offer guaranteed turnaround times, typically 24h, 48h, or 72h depending on service tier and volume, ensuring predictability for your business.
- Partial Shipments: Need to rush certain units? We can prioritize and ship partial orders to Amazon to help you manage inventory levels dynamically.
Example: If your 200-unit shipment arrives on Monday and you’ve opted for our 24-hour service, your order will be prepped, labeled, and ready for shipment to Amazon by Tuesday afternoon.
