New Hampshire for tax-free FBA prep.
The case for New Hampshire sellers actually pay attention to, plus the caveats we routinely have to remind sellers about during matching calls.
New Hampshire is the standard tax-free pick for sellers serving the Boston metro and broader New England demand. Manchester sits 30 to 50 minutes from Massachusetts Amazon FCs (BOS5, BOS7) and is well-positioned for the BWI corridor feeding the Mid-Atlantic.
The state has no individual income tax on earned wages, which is a secondary draw for prep-center operators who relocate. That sometimes shows up in lower per-unit pricing than comparable New England operators in MA or CT.
Where the prep actually sits.
Manchester is dominant (the largest city + best I-93/I-293 connectivity). Nashua sits closer to the Massachusetts border and is a common secondary location. Merrimack and Bedford are smaller but host several established operators.
What sellers miss.
New Hampshire has no sales tax but does levy a Business Profits Tax (BPT, 7.5% on net income) and Business Enterprise Tax (BET). The combination still tends to be favorable vs. Massachusetts but is not zero-state-tax. Confirm with a CPA before assuming all tax-free states are equivalent.

Live Free or Die Distribution
Live Free or Die Distribution is a family-run Amazon FBA prep center at 115 Highland Street in Rochester, NH, a sales-tax-free state. The LLC has been registered with the NH Secretary of State since January 2025, is in good standing with its 2026 annual report filed, and owner Andrew Tompson is confirmed by the registry. The per-unit FBA card is public: $1.75 per unit at base volume down to $1.00 at 3,000+ units a month, with a $199 start-up fee, a roughly $97-$99 monthly minimum below 300 units (the site lists both figures), and a 3% payment-processing fee on invoices. The center requires sellers to have at least 1 year of active Amazon selling history. We found no third-party reviews anywhere yet; the on-site testimonials are specific and internally consistent but self-hosted, so treat service quality as unvouched and test responsiveness first.
Prepare Less
Prepare Less is a prep service in Hampton, New Hampshire, a sales-tax-free state, registered with the NH Secretary of State as Prepare Less LLC since July 2023 and in good standing with its 2026 annual report filed. The homepage leads with all-inclusive per-unit prep pricing: $1.40 per unit up to 500 units a month, $1.20 to 1,000, negotiable above that, covering FNSKU labeling, polybagging, set creation, bundling, and palletization, with FBM fulfillment and storage as secondary services. This listing carries a warning: the two-page website has been unchanged since April 2024, publishes no street address or phone (the address here comes from the state registry), and we found no third-party reviews anywhere. The entity is demonstrably active even though the site is static; treat responsiveness as the thing to test first.
