Editor summary

Boxy Prep is a family-run Amazon FBA prep and fulfillment center in Hastings, Michigan, started by former Amazon sellers who built the service they wanted to use themselves. It runs roughly 5,000 sq ft of climate-controlled warehouse space with loading docks, and leads with straightforward per-unit prep pricing so sellers can calculate costs before buying. Core work is FBA prep (FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, expiration labeling, custom boxing, multipack kitting); it also handles wholesale and bulk sticker-only freight, DTC pick-pack across 300+ channels via ShipStation, and LTL shipping, so it is multi-service with FBA prep as the lead.
