Encore Business Group
Kentwood, MIFounded 2015encorebusinessgroup.com ↗+1 616-260-3310
General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.
Encore Business Group is a 3PL in Kentwood, Michigan that runs DTC e-commerce fulfillment, subscription box packing, warehousing and an eBay consignment store next to its Amazon FBA and Walmart WFS prep line. The registry dates the LLC to May 2015. It began as contract assembly and kitting for manufacturers; its archived homepage lists Amazon FBA prep by June 2022. Commercial property listings show the Patterson Avenue address as a multi-tenant warehouse building completed in 2023, and the operator says it moved into 20,000 sq ft there in March 2024. The prep line covers private label, wholesale, retail and online arbitrage: receiving and inspection, FNSKU labeling, sticker removal, polybagging with suffocation warnings, bundling and multipacks, bubble wrap, and building the shipment in Seller Central or InventoryLab, with damage photos emailed. Rates are published: $1.50 per unit under 100 items a shipment, falling to $0.75 above 1,000, and $2.00 per unit for arbitrage prep, plus a $50 monthly subscription; 7 days of storage is included with prep. Cautions: prep runs 1-2 times a week depending on volume, not daily. ISO 9001 certification and the 98% accuracy and 99% on-time figures are the operator's own and we have not verified them. Prep is one of several lines here, so ask how FBA shipments are scheduled next to DTC and consignment work.
