Editor summary

Live Free or Die Distribution is a family-run Amazon FBA prep center at 115 Highland Street in Rochester, NH, a sales-tax-free state. The LLC has been registered with the NH Secretary of State since January 2025, is in good standing with its 2026 annual report filed, and owner Andrew Tompson is confirmed by the registry. The per-unit FBA card is public: $1.75 per unit at base volume down to $1.00 at 3,000+ units a month, with a $199 start-up fee, a roughly $97-$99 monthly minimum below 300 units (the site lists both figures), and a 3% payment-processing fee on invoices. The center requires sellers to have at least 1 year of active Amazon selling history. We found no third-party reviews anywhere yet; the on-site testimonials are specific and internally consistent but self-hosted, so treat service quality as unvouched and test responsiveness first.
