Editor summary

Redline Prep & Ship is a husband-and-wife prep operation in Billings, Montana, registered with the state in August 2024, handling FBA, FBM and Walmart WFS. The published card runs $1.25 per unit for the first 1,000 and steps down to $0.50 above 10,000, with oversized items at $3.50. That unit price covers receiving, inspection, photos of anything damaged, label removal and labeling for FNSKU, fragile, suffocation warning and do-not-separate. Returns are $0.75 an item with a condition recommendation, bundles $1.75 plus a polybag, shoes $2.00 each, and storage is free for 30 days then $20 per pallet a month, with stock unpaid and uncontacted for three months becoming their property. There is a one-time $75 setup fee, and they charge a return fee only when the client or their VA ordered the wrong item. They offer to walk you through the Walmart WFS system if you are new to it. Three things to weigh. The business turned two in August 2026, so the track record is still short. Contact runs through a Gmail address rather than branded mail, and no street address is published. And the rate card is a template shared word for word across several Montana prep centers, so treat it as a regional standard rather than a quote built around this operation.
