General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.

Editor summary

3PLCity is an ecommerce fulfillment warehouse in Gardena, California, in the Los Angeles area, run by 3PL City, Inc., a California corporation registered in August 2025. The site says the facility sits 8 miles from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and handles container drayage and devanning for importers. Its FBA prep page lays out a six-step inbound workflow: receive and count units against your ASN within 24 hours, print FNSKU labels from your Seller Central shipment plan, poly-bag with suffocation warnings, bubble wrap and apply set and expiration labels, build cartons to the plan with box content labels, create or confirm the shipment plan, then ship by Amazon Partnered Carrier or LTL with pallets built to Amazon spec. Stated prep turnaround is 24 to 48 hours. FBM, Seller Fulfilled Prime, DTC, B2B, TikTok Shop, kitting and returns run from the same inventory pool. Pricing is quote-based, with no setup fee or monthly minimum stated. The site says it does not handle hazmat or lithium batteries. Cautions: the company is young, incorporated in August 2025 with its first archived live site in December 2025, although one of its own pages says '2020 Established, 6+ Years'; no record we found supports a start before its domain was registered in October 2024. The homepage claims 6 Los Angeles facilities while the About page describes a single fulfillment center, and the site prints no street address. Zero FC rejections and FDA registration are the operator's own claims.
