Amazon FBA Prep in Houston
Amazon's inbound rules are strict — one mislabeled carton can hold a whole shipment. We prep, poly-bag, label, and box your inventory to FBA spec, then forward it in.
Next Step 3PL runs Amazon FBA prep out of Houston for sellers who are tired of Amazon holds, prep-center backlogs, and inventory that arrives out of spec. We prep your units exactly to Amazon's inbound requirements, build compliant cartons, and forward shipments into the FBA network on your shipment plans.
For sellers importing overseas, the port-direct angle is a real edge: your container can clear the Port of Houston, be devanned in our building, and have a portion prepped and sent straight to FBA — without a separate prep vendor or an inland freight leg.
FBA prep services
We prep to current Amazon spec so cartons clear inbound cleanly:
- FNSKU labeling and label-over-label correction
- Poly-bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrapping and taping
- Bundling and multi-pack assembly
- Carton labeling, box content and shipment-plan preparation
- Forwarding to the FBA fulfillment centers Amazon assigns
- Optional hybrid: FBA plus your own DTC fulfillment from the same stock
Prep that keeps your inventory flowing
A single compliance mistake — a missing suffocation label, a wrong FNSKU, a carton over the weight limit — can freeze an entire shipment and cost you the Buy Box while you sort it out. Prepping to spec the first time is the cheapest insurance in your supply chain, and it's exactly what we do on every carton.
Built for importers
Because we're a port-direct 3PL, importers can consolidate receiving, prep and forwarding in one Houston building. Route your container from the port to our dock, and we'll devan, prep to FBA spec, and forward — with the balance held as DTC stock you can ship yourself.
