Wisconsin for high-volume FBA prep.
The case for Wisconsin sellers actually pay attention to, plus the caveats we routinely have to remind sellers about during matching calls.
Wisconsin is Chicago's northern flank. Amazon's Kenosha and Oak Creek FCs sit on the I-94 corridor between Milwaukee and Chicago, so a southeast Wisconsin prep center feeds both the Milwaukee and Chicago-area FCs on short ground lanes, and I-94 continues west through Madison toward Minneapolis for Upper Midwest demand.
The published roster is four operators, and two publish prep cards. Flat Rate Prep in Madison is a prep specialist charging one $2.25 per-unit rate that bundles receiving, FNSKU labeling, poly bags, bubble wrap and outbound boxes; StarShip Prep in Ashippun is a multi-service center at $1.50 per single unit including labels, poly bags, bubble wrap and boxes, falling to $1.00 at 4,000 or more units a month. The other two, in Oak Creek and West Bend, are full-service 3PLs with an FBA prep line priced by quote.
Where the prep actually sits.
The Milwaukee metro holds the Oak Creek FC and two of the four operators: Atomix Logistics in Oak Creek, south of the city, and Midwest AWD in West Bend to the north. StarShip Prep works from Ashippun in Dodge County, between Milwaukee and Madison, and Flat Rate Prep serves sellers from Madison, about 80 miles west of Milwaukee on I-94. Kenosha, on the Illinois line, has Amazon capacity but no published prep operator yet.
What sellers miss.
Wisconsin charges a 5% state sales tax, most counties add 0.5%, and Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee add more. StarShip Prep publishes a Gmail contact and no street address, and its LLC was administratively dissolved in May 2025 before being restored to good standing. The setup-fee promotion on Flat Rate Prep's card has expired, so confirm the current fee. Midwest AWD publishes no email and is listed but not shortlisted, and Atomix prices FBA work per case or pallet pick on a 12-month term, which suits case-pack replenishment more than mixed arbitrage inventory. Each point is on the profile.

Get matched to verified centers →Flat Rate Prep
Flat Rate Prep is a Madison, Wisconsin FBA prep center that receives online-arbitrage, wholesale, private-label, and book inventory, completes the prep, and ships directly into Amazon. It charges one flat $2.25 per-unit rate that bundles receiving, FNSKU labeling, poly-bagging, bubble wrap, sticker removal, dunnage, and outbound boxes, so there are no per-material add-on fees. The climate-controlled facility runs two onsite loading docks and averages a 24 to 48 hour turnaround. It has operated since at least 2016, and the operator reports more than 620,000 items prepped.
StarShip Prep LLC
StarShip Prep is a family-run prep and fulfillment business in Ashippun, Wisconsin, in Dodge County. Starship Prep LLC was formed in Wisconsin in June 2022 and its website dates to July 2022; in 2024 the site gave its location as Hartford, Wisconsin. Its lead service is Amazon FBA and Walmart WFS prep, with direct-to-consumer pick, pack and ship as a second line. Shipments are checked for damage on arrival, unboxed, counted and inspected, then labeled and packed to Amazon or Walmart requirements; shipping plans are built by the operator or the client and approved by the client. It publishes a rate card: $1.50 per single unit including labels, poly bags, bubble wrap and shipping boxes, $2.50 per bundle of up to 4 units, and $1.20 per wholesale unit, falling to $1.00 single and $1.75 bundle at 4,000 or more units a month. Shoes, glass and oversize items cost more, pallet storage is $40 per pallet a month, LTL is $30 a pallet, and DTC orders start at $3.00. Cautions: the contact email is a Gmail address and no street address is published. The LLC was administratively dissolved in May 2025 and has since been restored to good standing. Damaged items are destroyed after 30 days without instructions.
Atomix Logistics
Atomix Logistics is an ecommerce 3PL headquartered in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, south of Milwaukee, with further warehouses in Salt Lake City and Baltimore. Its site leads with DTC and B2B retail fulfillment for small consumer products, and Amazon is one of four channels it runs from a shared inventory pool. Its FBA prep page covers FNSKU labels, poly bags, bubble wrap, multipack bundles, case packing and master cartons, then carton and pallet labels, palletizing with corner protection, and booking small-parcel, LTL or FTL deliveries with appointments. Receiving includes a standard inspection, and lot and expiration dates can be tracked for regulated goods. Recartonizing inventory that fails Amazon's requirements is billed hourly as a special project. There is no published rate card: FBA work is quoted as a per-order fee plus per-case or per-pallet pick fees, and there is no order minimum. Cautions: prep is one line inside a DTC-first operation, and the FBA page is framed as case-pack replenishment priced per case or pallet pick, not per-unit prep of mixed arbitrage inventory. Each of the three warehouse pages lists FBA prep. Partnerships run on a 12-month term. Accuracy percentages and the written service guarantees are the operator's own figures.
Midwest AWD
Midwest AWD, legally Midwest Assembly, Warehouse and Distribution, is a Wisconsin warehousing and logistics company at 5001 S River Rd in West Bend, north of Milwaukee, describing a 500,000 square foot warehouse and family ownership under Mayer Enterprises. FBA prep is one line inside a broader business that also covers assembly and packaging, custom contract assembly, transportation, pick and pack, reverse logistics and direct to consumer fulfillment. The prep page is concrete about the work: inspection, labeling, polybagging for loose products, liquids and textiles, multipacks, kits and bundled sets, bubble wrap for fragile or sharp items, expiration dated goods, kitting, and compliance checks before shipments reach a fulfillment center. Pricing is quote based. The page says standard work like labeling or polybagging is typically per unit while custom kitting may be project based, but publishes no rates. Wisconsin registered the limited liability company in July 1996, the domain dates to June 2006 and the Internet Archive has captures from January 2007. One caution that matters for shortlisting. There is no email address published anywhere on the site and the domain carries no MX record at all, so the only routes in are the phone number and the web form.
