your moveThe 4-point operator standard. Every listing clears all four.
A prep center with a 2-year-old website and an unanswered phone is a red flag. We run the un-fun checks before a listing goes live, automated liveness checks after, and re-verify on user reports.
Operating over 12 months.
State business registry plus LinkedIn-confirmed founders. A new entity gets a deferred listing, not an instant pass.
Registry + LinkedInFDA registration confirmed.
From the registration confirmation FDA issued to the operator; food facility registrations are not publicly searchable. A claim we cannot confirm stays the operator's statement.
Registration documentSite live, FBA keywords visible.
Domain resolves, the homepage returns HTTP 200, and the operator's own visible site text names its Amazon FBA prep service (Amazon, FBA or FNSKU). Generic prep or 3PL wording alone does not get a center listed.
HTTP 200 checkHuman editor review.
Cross-checked against r/FulfillmentByAmazon, BBB, and seller forums. Recurring unresolved complaints block the listing.
Editor sign-offRecently verified.
A weekly automated sweep re-checks every published listing, and only a confirmed re-check moves a date. These are the newest confirmed dates in the ledger, newest first. Each row opens the profile that carries it.

Where the verified centers are. Why tax-free states matter.
The live network footprint, and the 5 states where storing inventory does not trigger sales-tax nexus. Both are decision inputs your prep partner should not hide from you.
Verified prep centers by state.
Tax-free states tagged where operator choice concentrates (Oregon, Delaware, New Hampshire, Montana, Alaska). Click a state to see verified listings.
Up to 5 verified picks by the next business day.
About 2 minutes in the form. Hand-matched by the editors. Free for FBA sellers. Centers pay for the clicks we send them or an optional Featured placement, never for ranking, placement, or the verification itself.
How is this different from prepcenter.com or Google?+
Google gives you a list. We give you a hand-matched intro. We have already done the verification and operational-fit checks on every center in our network, so you skip the 100-email RFP.
How long does matching take?+
You get a reply within 24 hours. An editor then hand-picks up to 5 verified centers against your scope. Reply with the ones you want and we put you in touch; you take the calls from there.
What does it cost?+
Free for FBA sellers, always. Centers can pay us per click we send to their site, or for a clearly-labeled Featured placement. They can never pay for editorial ranking, a shortlist pick, or verification, and those are unchanged whether or not a center pays.
What if the match is not a fit?+
Tell us why and we re-match. We track which matches close and which do not, and that feedback shapes future recommendations.
Do you work with hazmat or FDA-regulated products?+
Yes. Flag it in the matching form and we route you to centers with the specific certifications you need.
