Brown Box Ninja is a Temple, Texas FBA prep center operating since 2014, run by managing member Amanda Sheppard. Per-unit FBA prep runs $0.90 to $1.30 per single unit (tiered by volume, no setup fee and no minimum order), covering inspection, FNSKU labeling, poly bagging, expiration dating, bundling, boxing, and shipping to Amazon, with a stated 1 to 2 business day turnaround. It handles retail and online arbitrage, wholesale, private label, and select hazmat. Beyond FBA prep it also offers merchant fulfillment, carton forwarding, kitting, cross-docking, and pallet storage at $20.00 per pallet per month, so it is a multi-service 3PL with FBA prep as the lead service.
Fulfilled-by-Merchant order pick-pack-ship for Amazon orders that bypass FBA.
