FBA prep directory · Arbitrage list · Updated 2026-11-11

FBA prep centers for online arbitrage

This list has 39 US FBA prep centers whose own website names online arbitrage, retail arbitrage or arbitrage as work they take or price: 20 prep specialists, 12 multi-service operators and 7 full-service 3PLs. Each row quotes the site, with the page and the date we read it (2026-11-11); the 19 in tax-free states come first.

Rather not email 39 centers one by one? The match form asks how many units you send a month and whether you can pay a setup fee or a monthly minimum.

Tell us your product, monthly volume, and the services it needs. We rank the verified prep centers that fit, up to 10, each with its last-verified date and per-unit pricing where it is published. Free for sellers.

Quoted minimums and prices at a glance

27 of the 39 centers have a minimum or a price in the words we quote, in the order of the cards below. Each cell holds the center's own words. Select a name to jump to its card, which links the page the words came from.

A blank cell means the row quotes none, not that the center has none.

No minimum or price in the words we quote for Montana Prep Solutions (Montana), Tailwind Pack & Ship (Montana), Heroic Prep (New Hampshire), United States Prep (New Hampshire), One Stop Prep (New Hampshire), The Three Logistics (California), OC3PL (California), Encore Business Group (Michigan), Fast Prep FBA (New Jersey), FBA Champs (New Jersey), New Jersey Prep Center (New Jersey), Prep Center NJ (New Jersey). That does not mean the center has none.

For scale, the median US entry rate was $1.30 per unit across the 44 verified US centers that published a per-unit rate in the FBA Prep Pricing Index 2026 from FBA Prep Finder (snapshot 2026-06-12). It covers all prep work, not arbitrage alone, and it is a fixed snapshot, not a live figure.

In the tax-free states

19 centers on this list are in a state with no statewide general sales tax: 11 prep specialists, 6 multi-service operators and 2 full-service 3PLs. None is in Alaska.

A prep address in one of these states changes two things: there is no state sales tax on the prep invoice, and none at the register on goods you buy inside the state, Montana's resort areas and Alaska's local taxes aside. The second is the one that can matter to a seller who buys at retail, and it is not automatically a saving: with a resale certificate a seller can buy tax-free in a sales-tax state too, if the store accepts it. The address does not change the sales tax on your orders, and it does not settle what inventory Amazon stores in a sales-tax state means there. That is orientation, not tax advice: the full argument, with sources, is on our page about tax-free state prep centers.

How to read this list

This is a list, not a ranking. The tax-free states come first, then the rest, each group in name order. Inside a state, prep specialists come first, then multi-service operators, then full-service 3PLs (labeled Full 3PL), each in name order.

The quote on a row is the center's own wording, copied from its page on the read date. Typos are the site's. Where those words are a page heading, or a label on a price list or a service list, and not a sentence, the row says so. OA is short for online arbitrage and RA for retail arbitrage. Under the quote, "Also on that page" prints other lines from the same page: a minimum, a price, a fee, a turnaround or how deliveries are received. A row prints some of those lines, not every line on the page. Two quotes joined by a dot sit side by side on the center's page, such as a volume tier and its price. The label names the kind of line and nothing more, so a price there is not always the arbitrage price. The table at the top of the page repeats the minimum and price lines from the rows.

We did not test any quoted price, minimum or turnaround, and a site can change after the date shown. Confirm terms with the center before you ship. The badge on a row is separate from the quote: it is the current status of our own review of the listing under our 4-point operator standard. A listing that carries our Flagged badge, or that we have not reviewed yet, is left off this list. One that carries Review stale stays, with the badge showing.

What to ask an online or retail arbitrage prep center

The sites we read state these things differently from one center to the next.

  1. What is your minimum per shipment and per month, and what do you charge in a month I fall short of it?
  2. What is the per-unit price at my real monthly volume, and is the arbitrage rate different from your wholesale rate?
  3. Can retailers ship my orders straight to you, and how do you check each delivery in against what I ordered?
  4. How long does a shipment take, and does that clock start when the box arrives, when it is checked in or when the shipment is created?
  5. Is there a sign-up fee, a deposit or a monthly account fee on top of the per-unit price?
  6. Do you report damaged, missing or cancelled items when they arrive, and do you send photos?

Arbitrage prep center questions

Which FBA prep centers take online arbitrage?
This list has 39 US FBA prep centers whose own website names arbitrage as work the center takes or prices, read on 2026-11-11: 20 prep specialists, 12 multi-service operators and 7 full-service 3PLs. Online arbitrage is named on 37 sites and retail arbitrage on 14, and 2 sites say arbitrage without the type; a site can name both. Each center is listed on this page with the words from its site and a link to the page it came from. The counts are computed from the rows this page shows.
Do prep centers accept retail arbitrage shipments?
Some do. 14 centers on this list name retail arbitrage in the visible text of the site: 9 prep specialists, 3 multi-service operators and 2 full-service 3PLs. The other rows name online arbitrage, or arbitrage without saying which kind. A site can change after the date we read it, and the rows on this page show that minimums and fees differ from one center to the next.
Is there a minimum for arbitrage shipments?
It depends on the center. Some sites state no minimum, some set a floor per shipment or per month, and some charge a fee in a month you fall short. A row on this page prints some of the terms the center's page states, in the center's own words, in the main quote or under the heading Also on that page. It does not print every line, so a row with no minimum shown does not mean the center has none: open the source link on the row and ask before you ship.
Why do arbitrage sellers use prep centers in tax-free states?
Because of what they buy, not what prep costs. Goods bought at retail inside Oregon, Delaware or New Hampshire carry no general sales tax at the register, and the same holds in Montana apart from the resort tax its designated resort areas charge. That is not automatically a saving over a sales-tax state, where goods for resale can be bought tax-free with a resale certificate if the store accepts it. A prep address in one of the tax-free states also means no state sales tax on the prep invoice. It does not change the sales tax on your orders, which Amazon collects in marketplace facilitator states whatever your prep address, and it does not settle what inventory Amazon stores in a sales-tax state means there. On this list, 19 centers are in those states: 11 prep specialists, 6 multi-service operators and 2 full-service 3PLs. This is orientation, not tax advice. Read more: tax-free state prep centers.
How was this list checked?
This list holds only centers whose own website we read on the date shown on the row (2026-11-11) and found naming online arbitrage, retail arbitrage or arbitrage, in the visible text of the page, as work the center takes or prices. Hidden page tags, customer reviews and our own notes do not count, and we never list a center on a third party's word. We have not read every published center's site for this list, so a center that is not listed may still take arbitrage. Every center on the list was already published under our 4-point operator standard, and the badge on its row is the current status of that review. Read more: our 4-point operator standard.
