Editor summary

Blue30 is an Amazon FBA prep centre and ecommerce fulfilment warehouse at Great Stambridge Hall, near Rochford in Essex, run by Blue30 Ltd (Companies House 13465324, incorporated June 2021; the registered office moved there from Canvey Island in May 2025). It started as a prep-only centre for private label, wholesale and online arbitrage sellers and later added D2C and B2B order fulfilment. The prep service is fully managed: Blue30 creates the FBA shipment plans, then handles receiving and inspection, FNSKU labelling, polybagging, bundling, bubble wrap, carton forwarding and pallet shipping to Amazon UK fulfilment centres, plus Pan EU shipments, removals and returns. Published prices start at GBP 0.25 per unit to receive, inspect and label, with polybagging at GBP 0.50, bundling and bubble wrap at 60 to 80p, carton forwarding from GBP 1, double-walled shipping boxes from GBP 2 and a monthly account fee of GBP 9.50 to GBP 14.99; volume-band pricing is quoted through a request form. Stated turnaround is 12 to 72 hours, Monday to Saturday. Cautions: service pages list free packing materials while the pricing page charges for shipping boxes and polybagging, so confirm what a quote includes. The site's claims of being 'officially recommended by Amazon' through the Service Provider Network and of 250+ clients are not independently confirmed here.
