Editor summary

Proven Prep is a Portland, Oregon prep center and 3PL operating out of a 17,000 sq ft tax-free Oregon facility, with a second location in South Carolina. Published FBA prep runs $0.85 to $1.25 per unit and covers FNSKU labeling, polybagging, box content labels, suffocation and expiration labeling, removal orders, and online-arbitrage and wholesale prep, with a stated 24 to 48 hour turnaround. Both facilities are FDA-registered and temperature-controlled. It is a full-service 3PL, so the same operation also runs DTC, FBM, and B2B fulfillment from one inventory pool; FBA prep is one division, not the whole business.
