AMZ Prep

AMZ Prep is an Amazon-first FBA prep provider and ecommerce 3PL built around per-unit prep pricing from $0.40 and a dedicated-freight model that eliminates Amazon placement fees, with an ex-Amazon-built prep platform and a strong independent record (4.9/5 on Clutch across 92 reviews, ~4.7 on Trustpilot). It also handles oversized and big-and-bulky goods — furniture, fitness equipment, appliances — which most prep centers won't. The tradeoffs: a 300-item monthly minimum, add-on fees beyond the base rate, occasional returns and inbound-timing complaints, and a “50+” facility claim with only about a dozen locations publicly named.

AMZ Prep's West Coast page names California, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona, describing multiple California centers serving Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Bay Area, plus a Washington hub serving Seattle and Portland. Exact street addresses are not disclosed, so we treat this as a network model: AMZ Prep calls itself independently owned but also recruits warehouse-network partners, and ownership of every node is not established. The core use case is unambiguous: Amazon FBA prep, Seller Fulfilled Prime, marketplace logistics, DTC/B2B, cold storage, and oversized goods. FBA prep is published at $0.40 to $1.00 per unit, and DTC fulfillment is advertised from $1 per order. The company's own pages give inconsistent guidance on minimums: its pricing page publishes a 300-orders-per-month minimum while its who-we-serve page says there is no minimum, so we publish no numeric minimum; confirm any commitment in writing with sales before signing. First-party pages also use inconsistent '50+' facility descriptions, so we avoid any precise facility count.

AMZ Prep is the most Amazon-native pick on this list. It is built around the FBA prep workflow Amazon just stopped doing for sellers. Item-level prep starts at $0.40/unit with FNSKU labeling and polybagging included, case forwarding runs $1.50/box, and the company consolidates inventory onto dedicated daily truck routes into Amazon fulfillment centers, which is how it charges no placement fees on FBA shipments. The same account also runs SFP and DTC, so an Amazon-first brand can consolidate every fulfillment model with one partner. It is our highest-rated Amazon specialist at 4.4 overall. The tradeoff is that its center of gravity is the marketplace, not DTC, and it wants 300 orders a month to start.

AMZ Prep runs ShipHero WMS, the one WMS approved to plug directly into TikTok Shop Logistics Services, so it stays compliant no matter which way TikTok's shipping policy swings. It is built for the exact problem TikTok creates: demand that jumps from a few hundred orders a week to a few thousand a day once a video lands. The network spans 50+ facilities, it onboards most sellers in 3-5 business days, and it pairs native TikTok integration with per-unit prep from $0.40. Its 4.6 scalability and 4.6 customer-service scores are among the highest in the lineup. The catch is a 300-unit/month minimum and Amazon-first DNA.

AMZ Prep is the only pick on this list built around the Amazon FBA channel for big-and-bulky brands. Per-unit prep starts at $0.40, case forwarding at $1.50/box, with zero Amazon placement fees — the kind of transparency most heavy-goods FBA preppers don't offer. The 50+ facility network across the US, Canada, UK, and Europe gives this profile the broadest geographic reach in the lineup, paired with native specialty coverage for fitness equipment, sporting goods, appliances, and furniture. Best fit when the channel mix includes Amazon at meaningful volume — for pure DTC, Red Stag or Fidelitone usually wins.
