New Jersey for high-volume FBA prep.
The case for New Jersey sellers actually pay attention to, plus the caveats we routinely have to remind sellers about during matching calls.
New Jersey prep centers sit next to the single largest US demand region, the New York City metro, and Amazon's dense Northeast FC cluster (the EWR fulfillment centers). For sellers serving Northeast demand, the round trip from a New Jersey prep center into those FCs is short and cheap.
The Port of New York and New Jersey (Newark and Elizabeth) is the largest container port on the East Coast, so New Jersey is a natural prep base for sellers importing from Europe or Asia via the East Coast and feeding the Northeast FC cluster on short LTL lanes.
Where the prep actually sits.
North Jersey and the Newark area is the premium hub, closest to the port, the EWR FCs, and the NYC metro. Central New Jersey (our Hainesport-area New Jersey Prep Center and the state-wide FBA Champs) and South Jersey (Pennsauken, near the Philadelphia FC cluster, our Express Prep Center) trade some proximity for lower cost.
What sellers miss.
New Jersey has sales tax and high commercial rents, so the case is proximity to the largest US demand and East Coast port import, not cost. For West Coast or Midwest demand, the New Jersey proximity premium may not pay off.
