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.
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.
Long-term storage
Bulk storage beyond Amazon's 6-month long-term limit, often cheaper than FC overage fees.

FBA / FBM returns processing: receive, inspect, regrade, restock, or dispose.
FBM fulfillment
Fulfilled-by-Merchant order pick-pack-ship for Amazon orders that bypass FBA.
Hazmat prep
Handling for hazmat-classified items (batteries, aerosols, flammables). Most prep centers won't.
Kitting
Combining loose components into a single SKU before sending to Amazon. Reduces FBA fees.
