Amazon FBA prep and shipment creation
We build the shipment plan in Seller Central, prep units and cartons to Amazon’s requirements, and get the freight out the door by small parcel or LTL — from the same building that unloads your container.
Placement options, priced against total landed cost
Amazon may offer minimally split, partially split or Amazon-optimized shipments. We compare estimated placement fees, transportation costs and operational requirements before the shipment is confirmed, rather than picking the option with the fewest destinations by default.
Noncompliant inventory is stopped, not forwarded
If inventory arrives incorrectly labeled or does not meet Amazon’s requirements, we identify the issue and recommend a correction, such as relabeling, repackaging, barcode coverage, bundle correction or carton replacement. If the fix affects the product or needs a business decision, we contact you for approval first.
A documentation trail to Amazon
We keep outbound shipment details and tracking or freight information for every shipment, and can supply the documentation needed to investigate shipments that are delayed, misrouted or not fully received. Amazon controls final receiving and reconciliation. We confirm current Amazon specifications before every shipment.

Questions
Common questions
Do you create the FBA shipment plan and split shipments between Amazon fulfillment centers?
Yes. With authorized access to your Seller Central account, our team can create the shipment plan, enter box-content information, review Amazon's available placement options, and separate inventory according to Amazon's assigned destinations. We then prepare the cartons or pallets, apply the required labels, and coordinate the outbound shipments.
Can you help us choose the most cost-effective Amazon placement option?
Yes. Amazon may offer minimally split, partially split, or Amazon-optimized shipment options. We can compare the estimated placement fees, transportation costs, and operational requirements before the shipment is confirmed. Our goal is to help you understand the total landed cost — not simply select the option with the fewest destinations.
What FBA preparation services do you provide?
We can provide FNSKU labeling, barcode coverage, poly-bagging, bubble wrapping, bundling, multipack assembly, suffocation-warning labels, expiration-date labeling, carton preparation, palletization, and other product-specific services. Every project is reviewed against the applicable Amazon requirements before shipment.
Can you handle both small-parcel and palletized FBA shipments?
Yes. We prepare shipments moving by small-parcel delivery as well as LTL or palletized freight. This can include carton labels, box-content data, pallet labels, pallet configuration, and carrier coordination. Amazon's Send to Amazon workflow requires different information depending on the selected shipping method, and we manage those steps as part of the process.
What happens if our inventory arrives incorrectly labeled or does not meet Amazon's requirements?
We do not automatically forward noncompliant inventory to Amazon. Our team identifies the issue and provides a recommended correction, such as relabeling, repackaging, barcode coverage, bundle correction, or carton replacement. If the problem affects the product itself or requires a business decision, we contact you for approval before performing additional work.
Do you track shipments after they leave your warehouse?
Yes. We maintain the outbound shipment details and tracking or freight information for every shipment. We can help monitor delivery progress and provide the documentation needed to investigate shipments that are delayed, misrouted, or not fully received. Amazon controls the final receiving and reconciliation process, but we help ensure you have a clean documentation trail from our warehouse to Amazon.
