Editor summary

FA Prep is an Amazon FBA prep centre in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, trading as FA Prep UK Ltd (Companies House 10546392). The business has run under the FA Prep name since at least 2020, when its website already listed per-unit prep rates, and says it has been prepping since 2018. Amazon FBA prep is the main line, priced per unit with a monthly fee that falls as volume rises, from a £14.99 a month Bronze tier for up to 1,000 units to a £54.99 Diamond tier above 5,000 units. Work named on the site covers FBA labelling, polybagging, bubble wrap, bundling, boxing and sticker removal, with an FBA service for UK sellers shipping into Amazon US that includes customs paperwork. Pick and pack, container unloading and pallet storage across two warehouses with over 500 pallet spaces run alongside. Clients track stock in the operator's own PrepDock software. Cautions: the current website prints no address, phone number or email, so contact runs through a web form or a booked call; the Birkdale Road address comes from the operator's earlier website and third-party listings. The rate page shows two conflicting versions of the per-unit prices, so get the rate in writing.
