Full 3PL

General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.

Editor summary

MAI Fulfillment is an Illinois 3PL at 2550 Northwest Parkway in Elgin, established in 1981, running direct-to-consumer and B2B fulfillment, high-volume and omnichannel programs, warehousing, cross docking, kitting, subscription boxes and freight brokerage, with warehouses in the Chicago area and California. On Amazon specifically the company offers full-service FBA prep covering product inspection, labeling, poly bagging, bundling, kitting, packaging and carton forwarding, all performed in-house, with a 24 to 48 hour turnaround and same-day processing available for time-sensitive shipments. It integrates directly with Seller Central for inventory sync and order tracking, supports both FBA and FBM with inventory split across fulfillment methods, and sets no minimum, taking anything from 50 units to 5,000. Temperature-controlled space is offered for supplements, cosmetics and skincare. Cautions. The site lists FDA registration and an AIB certification as reasons to choose MAI but shows no registration number or certificate, so we record both as the company's own statements. No prep rate appears anywhere. Most importantly, no email address is published on any page, so the phone line and the quote form are the only ways to reach them.
