FBA prep centers in Ohio.

Rater Prep Services is an Amazon FBA prep center in Gahanna, OH, near Columbus, founded by former online-marketplace sellers. It receives, preps, packs, and ships seller inventory into Amazon on a published per-unit rate card: FBA prep from 1.00/unit covering Amazon minimum prep requirements, bundling from 1.25 per bundle, FBM at 2.50/unit, and FBA returns handling at 2.00/unit, with a 0.10/unit discount for accounts that maintain 2,000 or more units monthly. The center works with wholesale-volume sellers, and for FBA returns whose condition is not satisfactory for Amazon it works with the seller on options to liquidate them.

Little Owl Prep is a prep-first operation at 4230 E. River Road in Moraine, Ohio, running since 2019 by domain age and archived since 2020. It publishes every rate rather than quoting. Online arbitrage, individual item and book prep is $1.85 a unit and private label or wholesale is $1.25, with each price stating exactly what it covers. Both include receiving, inspection, damaged or missing item processing, shipment processing, FNSKU labeling, box content sent to Amazon and polybagging where needed; only the $1.85 tier adds book grading, the listing service and outbound boxes. Case forwarding is $3.00 a carton, direct fulfillment $2.50 an item on a 24-hour turnaround, and pallet storage $40 a month for up to three SKUs. Add-ons run from ten cents for an insert to two dollars for an oversized item. Book prep is their oldest line, with grading and counterfeit-textbook screening. They also run their own inventory software. Two things a seller should weigh. The site has not been updated in about two years, its footer still reads 2024. It still advertises Deliverr prep, a channel that stopped existing under that name after Shopify absorbed it in 2022 and sold the network in 2023. There is no phone number anywhere on the site, so email and the sign-up form are the only ways to reach them.

Prep & Store Center is an Ohio-based Amazon FBA prep and storage company serving experienced, volume FBA sellers. It runs a published per-unit prep rate card (labeling, standard and oversize prep, package inspection, bubble wrap, kitting, and a pay-as-you-go per-unit option that includes inspection, labeling, bundling, and poly or bubble) alongside pallet storage, carton forwarding, container unloading, and Amazon removals. Operating since 2014, it works on a monthly plan or a pay-as-you-go membership. The center caters to volume sellers and does not accept online-arbitrage or online book resellers.

LDR, trading as Logistics Done Right, Inc., is a Cincinnati e-commerce 3PL that has been registered in Ohio since February 2019. Its center of gravity is reverse logistics: returns sorting, inspection and refurbishment by certified technicians, Amazon removal orders, liquidation support and a returns analysis program that reports on unsellable stock. FBA prep is a full line inside that, not an afterthought. Standard prep runs $1.25 to $1.50 a unit and covers FNSKU labeling, polybagging with suffocation warnings where required, visual damage inspection, carton packing and shipment prep to Amazon specification including fragile and sold-as-set labels. Kits and bundles are $1.75 to $2.50, oversized or fragile items $3.00 and up, with no setup fee and no monthly minimum. Turnaround is tiered and stated openly: 1 to 2 business days for a product they already stock supplies for, 3 to 5 for a new or unknown SKU, and 5 to 7 or more when special packaging has to be sourced. Dropship and forwarding, warehousing and a cloud inventory portal round it out. Two notes. This is a general 3PL with a prep line rather than a dedicated prep center, so it is listed and typed accordingly. The site publishes its address, 7616 Production Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45237, off I-75 and I-71 and about forty minutes from CVG.

HermesLines is an ecommerce fulfillment warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio, operated by Logilines LLC, an Ohio company registered in December 2023. It works from Suite B at 5300 Tradex Parkway, a multi-tenant industrial building, and handles direct-to-consumer orders, pallet storage, and B2B and Amazon FBA prep. Its services page lists inbound inspection for damage and quantity discrepancies, labeling, carton building and pallet wrapping, with dispatch to Amazon fulfillment centers and retail distribution centers across the eastern US. Prep is billed as labor rather than per unit: $60 per hour, which its prep-cost article says is prorated to the minute, plus $10 per new pallet and $5 per stretch wrap, with no monthly order minimum. Its cost articles also list a platform fee from $14 a month in months inventory moves, which the pricing page does not show. Pallet receiving is $10 and storage starts at $15.99 per pallet per month. Its pricing page adds FNSKU labeling and polybagging, and its rate card adds carton and pallet shipping labels and packing lists. Cautions: this is a DTC-first 3PL and FBA prep shares one short section with B2B retail work. The operator asks sellers to supply current Amazon prep guidelines with every shipment, so agree in writing who owns compliance. Hourly billing makes per-unit cost hard to predict; ask for a time estimate on a sample batch. The site went live in August 2024. Until at least April 2026 its Amazon service was priced per pallet ($79.95 for one pallet); the hourly unit-level prep card dates from about May 2026.

We Fulfill It is an order fulfillment warehouse at 302 S. Byrne Road in Toledo, Ohio, serving small and mid-size ecommerce brands with no monthly minimums and no long-term contracts. Its Amazon FBA prep page covers receiving and inspecting supplier shipments, FNSKU labels with conflicting barcodes covered or removed, poly bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrap, expiration-date labels, bundling and kitting, case pack checks, shipment creation in Seller Central, carton labels, pallet builds and carrier booking for small-parcel or LTL loads. In-house product photography is available for listing images. The same warehouse ships Shopify, WooCommerce and Amazon FBM orders the same day when they arrive by 2 PM Eastern, and handles returns, gift wrap and a call center. The site's worked example is $2.50 per order plus $25 per pallet a month for storage. Cautions: FBA prep is quote-only with no published per-unit rates, and the site gives no prep turnaround time. The business traces to a 1982 shipping store and has run this fulfillment site since 2005; new owners bought it in October 2023 and the operating LLC dates to August 2023. The 99.6% accuracy and 94% retention figures are the operator's own.

Taylor Logistics is a food-grade third-party logistics company headquartered at 9756 International Blvd. in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ohio records list the corporation as active since 2002 under three Taylor family members, and the site has been continuously archived since November 2002. The company says it has been in logistics since 1850 across seven generations of family ownership, which is its own claim and is not verified here. Nine service lines run from public, dedicated and cold warehousing through kitting and packaging, e-commerce fulfillment, a dedicated Cincinnati fleet, freight brokerage, and drayage and cross-dock. Amazon prep sits inside the kitting and packaging line and is described precisely: FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, sealing, expiration and lot tagging, hazmat compliance, case-pack reconfiguration, and shipment plan creation, then palletizing to Amazon spec for FBA, Vendor Central or Seller-Fulfilled Prime and shipping direct to the assigned fulfillment center. The Cincinnati location reaches roughly 70 percent of US consumers in one day of ground freight by the company's own figure. Cautions: prep is one section inside the Kitting and Packaging service page, and no menu item names Amazon or FBA, so a seller has to know to look for it. No rates are published despite an all-in pricing claim. The SQF and FDA facility certifications, and the hazmat handling its prep page describes (hazmat-trained staff, segregated work in progress, and ORM-D and lithium handling where applicable), are the operator's statements and are not verified here.

Product Fulfillment Solutions is a general third-party logistics company that runs its distribution center in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a corporate office in Tampa, Florida. The domain dates to 2016 and the site has been archived continuously since 2017. It sells thirteen industry fulfillment lines, weighted toward supplements, nutraceuticals and cosmetics, plus nine solutions of which Amazon FBA prep is one. The prep page is specific about the workflow: FNSKU, UPC, carton and pallet labels applied to Amazon standards with scan checks at unit and carton level, polybags with warnings, shrink, bubble wrap and over-boxing, liquids stabilized upright, box content aligned to shipment plans, lot and expiration capture with FEFO enforced at pick, small parcel and palletized LTL prepared to Amazon requirements, and photo-documented exception handling. Cautions. Its contact page offers phone numbers and a contact form but no email address; a general inquiries email address appears only in the privacy policy. No street address is given for either location. Five accuracy figures above 99.9 percent are repeated with no methodology attached, and the prep page contradicts itself, quoting 99.98 percent order accuracy near the top and 99.99 percent near the bottom. Delivery coverage is stated four different ways, twice on the homepage alone. The site describes itself as FDA-registered; that is the operator's own statement and is not verified here.
