Automated check: the listed site loaded on its own domain, with no parking-page signs, and its text names Amazon, FBA or FNSKU. Not a review. How it works

Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Shipping And Handling is a Jacksonville, FL third-party logistics operator near the port, owned and run by CEO Chris Flowers, who bought the business in 2010; the operating company, Fulfillment Shipping and Handling Inc., was incorporated in Florida that April, and the brand's domain dates to 2001. The press corroboration is real: the Jacksonville Business Journal named it among the fastest-growing companies in 2012, 2014 and 2017, and it serves named clients including IceMule and Leslie's Pool. Its dedicated FBA prep page covers labeling, kitting, and full pallet rewraps with a 24 to 48 hour turnaround, no minimums, and no setup fee. A general rate card is published (receiving from $10 a pallet, $0.50 per picked item, $0.15 per label, a $75 monthly admin fee), but it names no per-unit FBA prep rate, so prep work is quoted from those line items. The site lists three Jacksonville warehouses totaling more than 170,000 square feet, plus a Sugar Land, Texas location. This is a full 3PL where FBA prep is one of more than a dozen service lines, typed accordingly. One caution: the FBA prep page is three short paragraphs, so confirm the actual prep workflow and per-unit cost on a call before sending inventory.
