Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Proven Prep is a Portland, Oregon 3PL that runs Amazon FBA prep alongside DTC and FBM fulfillment, B2B freight and returns handling from the same inventory pool, with a second location in South Carolina. Its homepage leads with 3PL fulfillment and lists FBA prep as one of five service lines, with its own Amazon prep page (FNSKU labeling, poly bagging, box content and shipment creation, removals), so we list it as a full 3PL: FBA prep is one division, not the whole business. FBA prep is priced through an on-site calculator rather than a fixed card, and every band is labelled an estimate that may be discounted during a formal quote: $1.35 per unit at 0 to 399 orders a month, $1.25 at 400 to 999, $1.10 at 1,000 to 1,999, $1.00 at 2,000 to 3,999 and $0.85 at 4,000 and above, each with a $0.20 bundle-assembly fee and $3.00 per unit return processing. DTC pick fees in the same calculator run from $2.50 at 0 to 100 orders down to $1.50 at 10,000 and above, though the site's DTC/FBM page separately lists $1.50 per order for the first unit with no volume band. Its online-arbitrage and Amazon prep pages set OA accounts at 500+ units a month (prep from $0.85 per unit on the OA page), while the homepage FAQ says there are no minimum order volumes. The operator states temperature-controlled storage and FDA-registered operations at both locations; we have not verified that against the FDA registry. An April 2026 press post on its site describes a 17,000 sq ft facility at 6855 NE 82nd Ave, a different street address from the 17146 NE Sandy Blvd in its footer and Oregon filing, so confirm the receiving address before shipping. Owner Kyle Curtis is named on the site and as the registered agent in Oregon's active business records.
