PrepFort
Wood Dale, ILFounded 2021prepfort.com ↗+1 630-451-4450
General fulfillment operation with a verified FBA prep service. Never ranked and never counted in our prep-specialist stats.
PrepFort runs a Wood Dale, Illinois facility at 210 Mittel Dr, minutes from O'Hare, and sells itself as a full 3PL with Amazon FBA prep as one of several lines. The others are Walmart WFS prep, B2B and retail distribution over EDI, crowdfunding kitting for Kickstarter and Indiegogo, corporate gifting, contract packaging and DTC fulfillment. The prep workflow is documented step by step: receive, count and inspect every unit with discrepancies reported before prep starts, then FNSKU labeling, poly bagging with suffocation warnings and expiration or lot checks, then bundles built and labeled as single sellable units, then box content data, carton labels, palletizing and shipment to your assigned fulfillment centers with tracking. Prep is priced in public by pack size: $0.65 per unit for packs of one to three, $0.95 for four to six, $1.25 for seven to nine, with bubble wrap at $0.50 per square foot and palletizing at $30. The $300 minimum on that page belongs to their ecommerce fulfillment calculator, not to prep. Storage is billed separately at $40 per pallet. The company dates itself to 2021 and the domain registration agrees. Two cautions. The 30,000 square foot figure is their own. So is the repeated claim to be an Amazon-vetted prep provider, which we could not confirm from any Amazon source.
