Prep-primary operation with a real co-primary line (fulfillment, packaging, sourcing, or storage), disclosed on this profile.
1889 Packing is a small, home-based Amazon prep shop in Joliet, Montana, a sales-tax-free state. Its homepage says incoming product is inspected, prepped, packaged and shipped to Amazon FBA and FBM requirements, with a quoted turnaround of 24 to 72 hours. The services page lays out the workflow: inbound units are inspected and any damage is photographed and emailed to the seller, items are prepped and labeled to Amazon guidelines, and a shipment plan is built by the shop or the seller before boxes are labeled and sent. Every shipment is photographed before it is sealed. The pricing page publishes a per-unit card: FBA $2.50 per item and $2.00 per bundle at 1 to 500 units per invoice period, dropping to $2.00 and then $1.75 per item at 501 to 1,000 and 1,001 to 1,500 units. Oversized items (any side over 12 inches) are $5.00. FBM orders are $1.65 per item at 1 to 500 units, poly bags run $0.12 to $0.25, storage after two weeks is $0.15 to $0.30 per unit, and each billing cycle has a $20 minimum. Cautions: the published street address is a single-family home, so this is a home-based operation; the site is a small Wix build with a Gmail contact address; we could not read the Montana business registry, so tenure rests on the domain (September 2022) and the first archived capture of the site (February 2023); and the rate table is headed 'Shipping Cost' without saying whether carrier postage to Amazon is included.
