Found a pickup-only deal, or a retailer that rejects your international card? We pick up, inspect, label, pack and ship to Amazon for you, and we are the first prep center in North America to offer it.
Learn more →You do two small things. We do the rest.
Your part is a purchase and a form. Everything between your supplier and Amazon's dock is our job.
Buy from your supplier and create an inbound
Order as usual, then open Dashboard → Inbound → Send Inventory and list the items. Tick "Send Received Inventory Directly to Amazon FBA" so we can ship without waiting on you.
Receive, count and inspect (free)
Shipments that arrive before 2 pm are checked in the same day. Damaged boxes are opened on the spot, photographed and reported to you; rejected deliveries are documented so you can claim your refund.
Prep and label to Amazon's requirements
Poly bags, bubble wrap, bundles, safety and FNSKU labels, all in complete compliance with Amazon's packing and prep requirements.
Pack, box and book the shipment
We build the FBA shipment, assign box contents and ship with Amazon's Partnered Carrier. Boxes are consolidated to minimize your shipping cost.
Watch it arrive
You are notified at receipt, when prep completes, and when your inventory ships, within 3 business days or the prep is free.
Whatever you sell, however you source it
Arbitrage without borders
Pickup-only deal? Card declined at a Canadian retailer? We pick up in store, or buy for you free of charge, then prep and ship it to Amazon. The OA/RA add-on starts at 45¢ and drops to 25¢ with volume.
RA/OA support →From supplier to FBA, hands-off
Send supplier cartons straight to your unique receiving address. We receive, inspect with photo reports, label, bundle and ship to Amazon in Canada or the USA, with customs clearance handled on CA→USA shipments.
FBA prep →Volume that earns its rate
Pallet receiving at $10 a pallet, tiered per-unit pricing down to $0.65, and consolidation that keeps your shipping bill small. Storage is free for the first 7 days.
