Editor summary

AZK Prep Center works out of Suite D at 1785 W Cortland Ct in Addison, Illinois, west of Chicago, prepping for Amazon, Shopify, eBay and TikTok Shop. It is not a bundled per-unit shop: pricing is a-la-carte, with FNSKU and shipping labeling at $0.40 a unit, polybag $0.30, shrinkwrap $0.25, bubblewrap $0.35 and fixed bundle packs from $0.25 for a pack of 2 to $2.45 for a pack of 12. Storage is $8 per carton or $40 per pallet a month with the first 5 days free, and FBM orders run $1.80. Stated prep turnaround is 48 business hours from receipt, and clients track inventory through a portal at inventory.azkprepcenter.com. Three things to weigh. Shipment coordination runs through a WhatsApp group, with prescribed label formats. The site's footer copyright still reads 2024. And this is a suite-based operation rather than a standalone warehouse, so confirm capacity before committing volume.
