FBA PREP

Amazon prep is detail work. Treat it that way.

Pallet & Parcel preps your inventory for Amazon FBA. That means the live shipping plan, product requirements, labels, packaging, carton and pallet configuration, quality checks, and inbound handoff, all checked before anything leaves the floor. Prep runs inside your broader inventory plan, so FBA replenishment isn’t a disconnected warehouse project.

CURRENT REQUIREMENTS

Amazon requirements are a moving target

FBA prep can mean FNSKU labels, packaging, polybags, bundles, expiration or lot info, carton content, pallet prep, routing, appointments, and the current Seller Central instructions. The requirements change by product and by shipping plan, and Amazon changes them too.

So step one is reading the live instructions for your inventory, not making a blanket “Amazon-compliant” promise.

PREP PLANNING

What we pin down before we start

01

Product identification

SKUs, FNSKUs, barcodes, packaging, bundle and multipack treatment, and product condition.

02

Product preparation

The current instructions for labels, polybags, bubble wrap, sealing, suffocation warnings, expiration and lot handling, and any other product-specific work.

03

Inbound configuration

Shipping plan, carton content, carton and pallet configuration, destination assignment, carrier, appointment, and documents.

04

Quality control

What gets checked before units are packed and released, and how we document and escalate an issue.

05

Inventory allocation

What moves to FBA, what stays for DTC and other channels, and what you need to know to make that call.

FLOOR INSTRUCTIONS → AMAZON INBOUND

From inventory to Amazon inbound

01

Review the current plan

You send us the active Seller Central shipping plan and the current product and prep requirements, plus the inventory, packaging, label, and timing details behind the shipment.

02

Confirm the prep instructions

We turn the requirements into floor instructions you’ve approved. If a product, label, carton, routing, or Amazon requirement is unclear, we resolve it before a single unit is touched.

03

Prepare and check the inventory

We run the confirmed prep and the quality-control process approved for the project. Short, damaged, mislabeled, or nonconforming inventory goes down the agreed exception path.

04

Release the inbound shipment

We handle the carton and pallet build, carrier, appointment, and delivery handoff the shipping plan calls for. You own the Seller Central decisions. We run the floor work behind them.

AUDIENCE FIT

Who this is for

01

You want FBA replenishment tied to your DTC and multichannel inventory plan, not run off to the side.

02

You want current Amazon requirements turned into prep instructions the floor follows every time.

03

You want a clear quality-control and exception path before inventory reaches an Amazon fulfillment center.

04

You want a partner that asks for the live shipping plan instead of working from stale Amazon rules.

FAQS

Questions? We’re here to help.

What is FBA prep?+

FBA prep is everything a product and shipment need before they go to an Amazon fulfillment center. Depending on the product and the active Amazon instructions, that can include labels, packaging, bundling, carton and pallet prep, quality checks, and inbound coordination.

Do you prep inventory for Amazon FBA?+

Yes. We’ll walk through the prep tasks, product categories, current Amazon requirements, shipping-plan workflow, lead time, and inbound handoff with your team, then scope the program.

Who creates the Amazon shipping plan?+

You do, in your own Seller Central account. We need the current, approved plan and the product-prep details to run the warehouse work attached to it.

Can you prep FBA inventory while fulfilling DTC orders?+

Yes. We plan FBA replenishment and DTC inventory together, so stock reservations, timing, product availability, and priority are settled before work starts.

What happens if Amazon requirements change?+

They do. Amazon rules shift by product, shipment, and policy. If the active shipping plan or prep instructions change, we recheck the work before release, and any change to scope, timing, or cost comes back to you for approval.

How is FBA prep priced?+

By what the work actually is: prep tasks, unit volume, labeling, packaging, bundles, cartons and pallets, quality checks, storage, inbound timing, and exceptions. We scope the program before we quote.
