FBA Prep Services for Amazon Sellers. Ship Smarter.
FBA prep services get your inventory past Amazon's inbound checks the first time, and Platton runs them on the same file as the freight, so one team owns the move from the factory to the fulfillment center. Two things cost Amazon sellers the most time: prep that triggers rejections, and fragmented inbound freight with no single owner. Platton fixes both, with FNSKU labeling, poly bagging, bundling, and carton packing, plus Amazon FBA freight forwarding from China, India, and Vietnam.
Why FBA Inbound Shipments Get Rejected, and How We Prevent It
FNSKU Labels Done Right, Every Time
One wrong barcode and Amazon rejects the entire inbound shipment. Our prep team applies FNSKU labels unit by unit to Amazon's current specifications, before anything ships.
Prep That Does Not Stall Your Restock Cycle
If prep takes longer than freight, you run out of stock before the next shipment arrives. We run tight receiving-to-dispatch workflows, so inventory moves from our facility to Amazon's dock in days, not weeks.
Poly Bagging and Bundling to Amazon's Exact Requirements
Amazon's packaging specs change often. We stay current on suffocation warnings, poly bag thicknesses, and bundle configurations, so you do not get hit with compliance fees or inbound refusals at the fulfillment center.
Returns Handled Without Derailing Your Inbound Schedule
Return rework piling up alongside regular prep creates backlogs that delay restocking. We process returns separately, so your standard inbound timeline stays on track.
Faster Prep Means Lower Long-Term Storage Fees
Every extra day between arrival and Amazon check-in adds to your storage bill. We move inventory from receiving through prep and out to delivery on the first available appointment, so it is on sale sooner.
From the Chinese Factory to the Amazon Shelf: Every Step, One Team
Most sellers stitch together a forwarder, a prep center, and a trucker, then chase all three for status. Platton runs the whole chain on one file: origin pickup, ocean or air freight, US customs clearance, prep, and the Amazon delivery appointment. You manage your business, and we handle the logistics.
US Prep Facilities Near Major Amazon Fulfillment Centers
Our prep centers sit near major US ports and Amazon fulfillment center clusters. That cuts the distance between customs release and inbound delivery, and it shortens how long your stock sits in transit before it is available to sell.
Understand and Control Your Total Inbound Cost
Inbound Visibility Across Every Leg
Shipment data from origin pickup through prep completion keeps you informed on timing and cost at every stage, so your restocking decisions run on facts, not guesswork. One dashboard, every update, with no chasing carriers for status.
Transparent Cost Breakdown
Freight, customs, Amazon FBA shipping, and delivery are broken out clearly per shipment, so you can calculate your exact landed cost per unit from your supplier to Amazon's door, and price your products on real margins instead of estimates.

Get a QuoteHow It Works: From Your Supplier to Amazon's Dock
Step 1: Inventory Inspection on Arrival
Every shipment is inspected when it reaches our facility: condition, count, and compliance checked before prep begins. Problems get caught here, not at Amazon's dock.
Step 2: FNSKU Labeling
Labels are applied correctly to every unit using Amazon's current barcode specifications. No approximations, no batch-level shortcuts.
Step 3: Poly Bagging and Bundling
Items are prepped to Amazon's packaging requirements: poly bag thickness, suffocation warnings, and bundle configurations, done right the first time rather than reworked after a rejection.
Step 4: Secure Carton Packing
Cartons are built to survive inbound transit without damage. Weight distribution, dunnage, and box integrity are checked before anything leaves our facility.
Step 5: Booked and Delivered to Amazon
We schedule the Amazon delivery appointment and dispatch the shipment straight to the assigned fulfillment center, with the routing and compliance already handled.
Common Questions from Amazon Sellers
Yes. We coordinate Amazon FBA freight forwarding from China, and from India, Vietnam, and other major sourcing origins. That covers origin pickup, export documentation, ocean or air freight, US customs clearance through licensed customs brokers, and final delivery to Amazon fulfillment centers. One booking, start to finish.
A freight forwarder moves your goods from origin to destination. A prep center gets your inventory ready for Amazon's inbound requirements, with labeling, bundling, and packaging, before it reaches the fulfillment center. Most sellers need both. Platton combines the two, so you do not coordinate two providers and two timelines.
Most rejections trace to three things: incorrect FNSKU labeling, non-compliant packaging, and missing or wrong carton marks. A dedicated prep team checks every unit against Amazon's current inbound specifications before it ships, which clears the most common rejection causes before they become a problem.
We scale with your volume. The Amazon FBA logistics workflow (freight coordination, customs clearance, receiving, prep, and delivery) is built for consistent execution across high-volume inbound schedules, not just occasional shipments. Volume accounts get dedicated capacity so nothing bottlenecks during peak periods.
