FBA Prep, Storage and Shipment Support for Amazon Sellers

What FBA Prep Covers and Why It Matters

FBA prep covers FNSKU and carton labelling, bundling, packaging and pallet preparation, the work that makes inventory ready for Amazon to receive.

Amazon sets strict labelling, packaging and pallet requirements, and mistakes can mean delayed check-in, rejected shipments, extra fees or stranded stock.

Why Amazon Sellers Use a 3PL Alongside FBA

Many sellers keep bulk inventory with a 3PL and send Amazon only what it needs, replenishing FBA in smaller shipments while other channels ship from the same stock.

North Industries holds the master inventory, preps each FBA shipment and fulfills Shopify, wholesale and marketplace orders from the same pool.

FBA Prep Questions, Answered

What does an FBA prep service do?

An FBA prep service gets inventory ready for Amazon to receive: FNSKU and carton labelling, bundling, packaging, palletization and shipment preparation. North Industries also receives and stores inventory before it ships, processes returns and fulfills orders on other channels, so prep sits inside a full 3PL operation.

Should Amazon sellers use a 3PL alongside FBA?

Many do. FBA handles Prime delivery, while a 3PL holds bulk inventory, preps replenishment shipments and fulfills Shopify, wholesale and other marketplace orders. North Industries runs that model from one inventory pool, so a seller sends Amazon what it needs and keeps the rest stored and ready for every other channel.

Does North Industries prep FBA inventory for wholesale sellers?

Yes. North Industries preps inventory for wholesale Amazon sellers and distributors as well as private-label brands. Wholesale shipments are received, checked against the packing list, relabelled with FNSKU labels where required and palletized or cartoned for Amazon. Some prep centres only accept private-label brands, so confirm this early.

Can inventory be stored before it's sent to Amazon?

Yes. North Industries stores inventory short-term or long-term, billed monthly by pallet count or square footage. Sellers can hold bulk stock outside Amazon and send FBA replenishment in planned batches, which gives them more control over how much inventory sits in Amazon’s network at any time.

Can North Industries make a product and prep it for FBA?

Yes, for non-food liquid products. North Industries fills and co-packs products in small or growing batches, then labels, bundles and preps them for FBA in the same facility. The brand supplies its own formula and artwork, and production, storage and Amazon prep run through one team with no handoff between vendors.

Does North Industries prep for Walmart and Wayfair too?

Yes. North Industries prepares inventory for Wayfair and Castlegate, and for Walmart Marketplace where the program is compatible with a seller’s setup. The exact scope for each channel is confirmed during the account review, alongside any Amazon FBA prep and direct-to-consumer fulfillment.

What information is needed for an FBA prep quote?

A useful quote needs the SKU count, expected units per month, whether shipments go to Amazon as cartons or pallets, and the prep each unit needs, such as labelling, bundling or relabelling. Storage needs and other sales channels also affect scope, so include those when requesting a quote.
