South Carolina for high-volume FBA prep.
The case for South Carolina sellers actually pay attention to, plus the caveats we routinely have to remind sellers about during matching calls.
South Carolina is a manufacturing and port pick. The Upstate (Greenville-Spartanburg) runs on I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte, where Amazon's CLT4 fulfillment center and CLT2 inbound cross-dock sit in west Charlotte, just over the North Carolina line, and the Port of Charleston gives importers a container gateway inside the state. Sellers whose freight lands in Charleston or whose suppliers sit along I-85 get short inbound legs.
The published roster is three operators. Upstate Prep in Fountain Inn is a multi-service center with a published prep card: $1.25 at 200 to 1,500 units a month down to $0.60 at 5,000 and up, covering receiving, inspection and FNSKU labeling. The other two are full-service 3PLs with an FBA prep line: a Spartanburg contract-packaging and warehousing company that quotes prep, and a North Charleston ecommerce fulfillment company that prices unit labeling at $0.50 and quotes the rest.
Where the prep actually sits.
The Upstate is the operator base: Upstate Prep sits in Fountain Inn, on I-385 south of Greenville, and Piedmont Manufacturing Support in Spartanburg, on I-85 toward Charlotte. Nice Commerce runs its East Coast warehouse in North Charleston, near the Port of Charleston, and Piedmont takes container freight drayed up from Charleston, about three hours away by its own account.
What sellers miss.
South Carolina charges a 6% state sales tax plus county local-option taxes. Upstate Prep prints its card rate "Per ASIN" against bands measured in units a month and describes its storage as FDA-certified, a claim we have not confirmed; Piedmont dates itself to 1975 against a 2009 state record; Nice Commerce publishes no phone number and keeps its detailed prep terms in a client help center. Each point is on the profile. North Carolina's operators around the Charlotte FCs are the nearest alternative for I-85 reach.

Get matched to verified centers →Upstate Prep
Upstate Prep is a 3PL in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, which they describe as an hour south of Amazon's CLT2, running FBA prep alongside e-commerce fulfillment, temperature-controlled storage, CBD fulfillment and hazardous materials shipping. Prep is the only line with published rates: four volume bands at $1.25, $1.00, $0.80 and $0.60, each covering receiving, inspection and FNSKU labeling, with up to a three-pack included and $0.50 for anything larger. They print the rate "Per ASIN" against bands measured in units a month, so confirm which one you are billed on. Beyond labeling they list bundling and kitting, poly bagging, bubble wrapping, shrink wrapping, expiration date labeling, carton forwarding and Amazon shipment creation, and they take temperature-sensitive goods like chocolate that most prep centers decline. Three cautions worth checking before you commit. Their own pages give three different warehouse sizes, from 30,000 sq ft to 25,000 sqm, and two different staff counts. And the site describes its storage as FDA-certified, a claim we have not confirmed and do not assert. The footer is also still on theme defaults underneath: the email and phone display correctly but link to contact@mysite.com and 123-456-7890, and the social icons link nowhere. Copy the address rather than clicking it.
Nice Commerce
Nice Commerce is an ecommerce fulfillment company with an East Coast warehouse at 7791 Palmetto Commerce Pkwy in North Charleston, South Carolina, and a West Coast site in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main line is direct-to-consumer order fulfillment for online brands (the site says orders placed by noon ET ship the same day), plus B2B and wholesale orders, kitting and inventory management with lot and expiration tracking. Amazon work has its own FBA and FBM page and is spelled out in the client help center: the team barcodes, bags, case-packs and labels units under a scoped statement of work, attaches the seller's Amazon case and shipping labels to each FBA shipment, and can set Seller Central to switch to merchant fulfillment when FBA stock runs out. The help center prices unit labeling at $0.50 per unit including labor, labels and handling, says FBA prep per-unit rates fall with volume, and bills Seller Central admin time at $45 per hour. Everything else is quoted after a discovery call. Cautions: FBA prep is a secondary service here, the public FBA page is short, and the detailed prep terms live in the client help center rather than on the main site. No phone number is published. Ask for an FBA prep statement of work with per-unit rates before sending inventory.
Piedmont Manufacturing Support
Piedmont Manufacturing Support is a woman-owned warehousing and manufacturing-support company in Spartanburg, South Carolina, running Amazon prep alongside contract packaging, sub-assembly, kitting, rework and sorting for automotive, food and industrial clients. The prep line is concrete: inbound freight unloaded and counted against the bill of lading, FNSKU labels plus expiration and warning labels applied to Amazon's current spec, poly bags and bubble wrap, multi-pack and bundle builds with tamper seals, then the shipment plan built in Seller Central with Amazon and carrier labels and dock pickup scheduled. Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours with same-day rush available, there is no hard unit minimum, and they take container freight with drayage from the Port of Charleston about three hours away. They also process Amazon removals and decide per unit whether to relabel and resend, repack or scrap. They publish their certificates rather than just naming them: WBENC national women's business enterprise certification number WBE1700481, granted in March 2017 and current to March 2027, and WOSB certification number WOSB260492 naming Ada Wallace as majority owner. The ISO 9001:2015 claim is stated but no certificate is published. Pricing is quote-only. One caution: the company dates itself to 1975, while the South Carolina record for Piedmont Storage and Repack, LLC shows 2009 and the domain dates to 2018.
