Why Delaware

Delaware for tax-free FBA prep.

The case for Delaware sellers actually pay attention to, plus the caveats we routinely have to remind sellers about during matching calls.

Delaware is the East Coast tax-free counterpart to Oregon. Amazon's own FC address list puts two fulfillment centers inside Delaware, PHL7 (sortable) in Middletown and ILG1 (non-sortable) in New Castle next to Wilmington, and more across the Delaware River in South Jersey (ACY1 in West Deptford, TEB3 in Logan Township, TEB4 in Penns Grove). The New Jersey corridor (EWR4, EWR9) and the Lehigh Valley cluster (ABE2, ABE3) sit further north. Sellers serving Northeast demand pick Delaware because the round-trip prep-center-to-FC cost is meaningfully lower than from any other East Coast tax-free option.

Wilmington also has port access for inbound containers (Port of Wilmington), which is unusual for tax-free states.

Hub geography

Freight lanes, and where centers sit.

Northern Delaware's New Castle County, from Wilmington and Claymont on I-95 west to Newark, sits closest to both in-state FCs and the Port of Wilmington. Delaware Prep & Fulfillment Center and Dollan Prep Center both work from Newark.

Our Delaware roster today: 9 published listings (5 prep specialists, 2 multi-service centers and 2 full-service 3PLs), all currently verified. By listed city: Newark (5), Wilmington (2), Bear and Claymont.

Caveats

What sellers miss.

Delaware franchise taxes apply to entities formed in Delaware, but are typically small for foreign-qualified businesses just storing inventory. Port congestion during East Coast peak season (August through October) can affect inbound timing; confirm with your prep center before committing to a Delaware-only inbound corridor for Q4.

Cross-reference with our Amazon fulfillment center directory to match your demand-side FC cluster to a prep-center location, and our tax-free states page for what a tax-free prep address does and does not change.

QuickShipment

Claymont, DE

Reviewed · 2026-10-05

QuickShipment is an Amazon FBA prep center in Claymont, Delaware, run by SECA Group LLC, a Delaware company formed in June 2023, from unit D11 of the Tri-State Industrial Center at 950 Ridge Road. Its prep scope is spelled out per unit: cartons are counted against the packing list and photographed, units are inspected, old barcodes are covered and FNSKU labels applied, fragile items get bubble wrap, poly bags carry suffocation warnings, sets are bagged as one unit, and cartons are weighed, labeled and built into a shipment plan in Seller Central. The published card runs from $2.00 a unit under 100 units a month to $1.25 at 500 to 999 and $0.69 at 5,000 or more, with FNSKU labels included. Poly bagging adds $0.75 a unit, bubble wrap and bundles $0.90, pallet receiving is $35, and pallet storage runs $2 to $5 per pallet per day. Stated turnaround is 48 hours from receipt, with no minimums or setup fee. It says many clients ship from abroad, and it also offers FBM fulfillment, returns processing, product photography and a US mailing address. Cautions: the homepage testimonials and savings figures cannot be verified, and the company's own About page says its case studies are composites. Its seller counts and review scores are its own figures, and photos of the warehouse floor are not yet published. The industrial park's units run 720 to 4,500 square feet, so confirm capacity before sending large volumes.

Delaware Prep & Fulfillment Center

Newark, DE

Reviewed · 2026-10-04

Newark, Delaware prep center for Amazon FBA, FBM, and arbitrage sellers. Located in a tax-free state for inventory storage. Services include receiving, inspection, labeling, bundling, storage, forwarding, and FBA returns processing. Eligibility minimum: 1,000 items per month for account activation. The operator claims membership in Amazon's Service Provider Network (SPN); verify this independently before relying on it as a credibility signal.

Zero Tax Prep Center

Bear, DE

Reviewed · 2026-09-29

Zero Tax Prep Center is a husband-and-wife FBA prep center in Bear, Delaware, working from a unit in the Porter Road Business Center on Carson Drive. Delaware has no sales tax. The homepage publishes the full rate card. Online-arbitrage sellers pay $1.50 per unit for the first 1,000 units in a month, $1.35 for the next 2,000 and $1.15 above 3,000, with receiving, visual inspection, price-sticker removal, UPC covering, FNSKU labels, a standard poly bag and dunnage included. Wholesale and brand-direct inventory runs $0.85 per unit with a 500-unit-per-SKU minimum; private label is quoted. Bundles add $0.25 per extra unit, shoes are a $3 flat rate, and clothing, liquids and fragile items add $0.35. Medium items add $1.00 and small oversize adds $2.00. Storage is $10 per bin or $45 per pallet per month after free periods of 30 and 14 days, and the site says clients get ScanPower inventory software at no monthly cost. Cautions: new clients pay a $249 one-time setup fee and face a 300-unit monthly minimum, with a $49 fee in lighter months. Glassware, spray bottles and medium or large kitchen appliances are refused, and items over 5 lb or 18 inches need prior approval.

Smart Prep Center

Newark, DE

Reviewed · 2026-10-12

Smart Prep Center is an Amazon prep center and 3PL warehouse in Newark, Delaware, trading as Helloprint LLC per its terms of service, on a domain registered in August 2020. Prep is the main product and the pricing page is complete: per-unit prep, receiving by parcel, pallet or container, carton and pallet forwarding, carton opening and counting at $0.20 a unit, bundle tiers, suffocation-warning polybags from $0.25, bubble wrap, oversize surcharges and daily pallet storage falling from $1.20 to $0.70 with volume. Processing runs up to two working days. No minimum, no long-term contract, and they prep for Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart and Shopify. Read the terms carefully before committing. The $0.50 and $1.20 per-unit headline rates apply only to your first two months, after which pricing steps automatically to the Standard tier ($0.55 per unit at 1 to 999 prior-month units) or a Volume tier, published on the pricing page's tabbed panels that only render in a browser. Activating an account takes a $400 deposit, disclosed only on the About page. Free storage is stated as 14 days on two pages and 7 days on two others, and the pricing page lists receiving an item without a UPC or EAN barcode at both $0.30 and $3.00. A blog page says they have operated in Newark since 2015. The domain was registered to them in 2020, and web archives show it carried an unrelated test-prep tutoring site in 2015.

Simple Global

Newark, DE

Reviewed · 2026-10-12

Simple Global is an ecommerce 3PL headquartered at 2051 Old Coochs Bridge Rd in Newark, Delaware, incorporated in Delaware as Simple Global, Inc. in October 2012 on a domain dating to 2007. It runs eight facilities, including Newark DE at 93,000 sq ft plus sites in Michigan, Ohio, California, the UK, Australia and South Korea. The FBA prep line is documented in detail: inspection against the purchase order with label, barcode and expiration-date checks, FNSKU and barcode printing and application, carton and pallet labeling, poly bagging, bubble and shrink wrapping, reboxing damaged or non-compliant packaging, suffocation warning labels, multi-SKU bundling and kitting, then box content and packing slip creation, palletizing, shipment plan coordination inside Seller Central and delivery straight into Amazon receiving. Two things to weigh before shortlisting. Prep is billed as hourly work orders, from $38 basic and $48 complex, not per unit, so you cannot compare their prep cost to a specialist without a quote. And Newark is one node in a large multi-country network, not a dedicated prep operation.

Full 3PL

Shipo

Wilmington, DE

Reviewed · 2026-09-19

Shipo LLC is a Wilmington, Delaware 3PL whose primary business is DTC and B2B ecommerce fulfillment, with Amazon FBA and Walmart WFS prep run out of the same building and the same inventory pool. The prep line is specific: receiving and inspection, FNSKU labeling with existing barcodes covered, poly bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrap, bundling and kitting, expiration and lot labeling, sticker removal, mixed-SKU sortation, rework and repack, then shipment plans, box labels and forwarding into the fulfillment centers Amazon assigns. Containers are unloaded on site, and buffer storage lets sellers drip-feed replenishment against Amazon restock limits. Delaware charges no state sales tax on inventory held in state. Work received by 3 PM ET is stated to move the same business day. Shipo publishes 2026 list rates: FBA prep from $1.25 per unit, receiving $14.00 per pallet or $0.18 per unit, pallet storage $25.00 per active pallet per month, and pick and pack $2.50 per order. Prep add-ons are quoted per account, on a $395 monthly minimum shared with DTC fulfillment. Cautions: we found no independent customer reviews on any surface. The 55,000 sq ft warehouse figure and the FDA food-facility registration are the operator's own statements and we could not confirm either, and the published address is one suite in a multi-tenant flex park.
