Editor summary

A Canadian FBA prep center in Ontario, handling receiving, inspection, labeling and packaging for online-arbitrage, wholesale and private-label sellers, and accepting skids and shipping containers with prior approval. Per-unit prep is $1.09 CAD, stepping to $0.98 and $0.89 by volume. The term buyers should read first: there is a $150 CAD monthly minimum prep spend, auto-billed on the 1st, credited against services, and it does not roll over, so this is a subscription floor rather than pay-as-you-go. The operator does not accept hazmat, requires customs and duties prepaid, and needs prior approval for four or more pallets or a container. There is a client portal for creating inbound shipments. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 4:00pm Eastern. No phone number is published; email is the only direct channel, and the shipping address is released after signup.

Operating since:
2023 (3 yrs)
