Editor summary

Prep4FBA is an Amazon prep centre in Odiham, Hampshire, whose Companies House registered office exactly matches the published warehouse address at Bartons Yard. The legal entity dates to January 2018 but traded as a baggage-shipping company until its July 2023 rename; the prep operation itself runs on a domain registered in August 2022 with archived prep content from late 2023, so we date the prep business to 2022, not 2018. Sole director James Selvey also runs the disclosed sister company Far East Shipping (UK) Ltd from the same unit, which covers the container and freight side. The full per-unit rate card is public, from 0.30 GBP receiving and 0.25 GBP FNSKU labelling to 0.83 GBP per CBM per day storage. We found essentially no third-party reviews anywhere, so reputation rests on the operator's own claims; the registry chain, however, is as clean as they come.
