Express Prep and Ship
Columbus, MTFounded 2022expressprepandship.com ↗+1 406-321-0544
Express Prep and Ship is a family-scale FBA prep operation in Columbus, Montana, a sales-tax-free state, operating since late 2022 (domain and site history) and registered as Express Prep And Ship LLC (Montana SoS C1405820, Active-Good Standing, agent Sandra June Croft, registered December 2023). The card is published and per-unit: $1.25 per unit received, including inspection, label removal, damage photos, and FNSKU, fragile, and suffocation labeling; books $2.00 with poly bag; shoes $2.50; oversize $4.00; bundles $1.25 per item for the first two items, $1.00 at three or more. A $50 one-time registration fee applies, with billing on the 1st and 15th. Onboarding runs through Seller Central user permissions (Inventory and Shipments). Cautions, plainly: the ship-to address sellers are given is a residential property with no outbuildings on record, and the state registry lists no principal business address at all (mailing address only), so where the work physically happens is unconfirmed (the common Montana cottage-operator pattern), the published phone is a personal mobile line, the signup page shows two different Gmail addresses (the homepage address is canonical), and third-party reviews are absent beyond one dated on-site testimonial.
