What we look at in your FBA prep review
To give you a practical recommendation or quote, we review:
- SKU count – how many distinct products.
- Unit volume – how many units per shipment or per month.
- Prep requirements – what prep each SKU needs.
- Labeling requirements – FNSKU labeling, relabeling, or other label needs.
- Carton / master carton setup – how product is packed on inbound and how it should ship.
- Bundle / kitting needs – multipacks, bundles, or assembled units.
- Storage needs – how much inventory needs to be held and for how long.
- Shipping destination – which fulfillment centers or destinations you’re shipping to.
- Timeline – how quickly you need inventory prepped and inbound.
- Whether ecommerce fulfillment or removals support is also needed – so we can plan one workflow instead of many.

What affects FBA prep pricing
Every prep project is a little different, so pricing depends on your specifics rather than a one-size-fits-all rate. The main factors we review:
- SKU count – number of distinct products.
- Units per shipment – volume moving through prep.
- Labeling / prep complexity – how much handling each unit needs.
- Carton forwarding needs – receiving and forwarding volume.
- Storage time – how long inventory is held.
- Bundling / kitting – assembly work per unit.
- Packaging materials – poly bags, boxes, inserts, and other materials where needed.
- Inbound condition – how product arrives and how much prep it requires.
- Outbound destination – where shipments are headed.
- Turnaround expectations – how fast you need it done.
We’ll walk through these with you in the review so the quote reflects your real workflow. We don’t publish exact rates because they depend on the factors above.

Real projects, handled hands-on
- Amazon removals project: For one Amazon seller, ShipDepot helped remove 15,000 units from Amazon storage and reduce ongoing storage cost pressure.
- Removal / rework project: For another Amazon seller, ShipDepot received 3,000 removal units that needed relabeling and case packing, and reworked, repacked, and reshipped the inventory back into Amazon quickly. This is shared as a project example, not a guaranteed result.
- Kitting / subscription experience: For a subscription/product-drop program, ShipDepot received flat boxes, crinkle paper, multiple inserts, and multiple items, then kitted the monthly drops according to the brand’s instructions.
- B2B / retail shipping support: ShipDepot supports B2B and retail fulfillment workflows, including following retailer-provided shipping instructions and creating required labels when approved.
- Warehouse / process: Southern California / Palmdale warehouse with approximately 5,000 pallet spaces, WMS visibility, and barcode-driven workflows, including UPC, FNSKU, and custom barcodes where applicable.
Results vary by project. Timing depends on receiving condition, prep requirements, carrier schedules, and project scope.
