Services offered

FNSKU labeling: Amazon's per-seller-per-SKU barcode applied before inventory enters an FC. Required for FBA.
Inspection: Per-unit visual and functional QC. Catches damage before Amazon's receive team does.
International shipping: International shipping coordination (DDP / DDU / freight forwarding).
Bundling: Bundling multiple SKUs into a single buyable unit (e.g., starter packs, gift sets).
Prep: Receiving, labeling, repackaging your inventory to Amazon's exact specs before each shipment.

B2B fulfillment: Amazon B2B / wholesale prep including palletization and case-pack requirements.
Long-term storage: Bulk storage beyond Amazon's 6-month long-term limit, often cheaper than FC overage fees.

Walmart prep: Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) prep alongside FBA prep.
