Prep-primary operation with a real co-primary line (fulfillment, packaging, sourcing, or storage), disclosed on this profile.
Smart Prep Center is an Amazon prep center and 3PL warehouse in Newark, Delaware, trading as Helloprint LLC per its terms of service, on a domain registered in August 2020. Prep is the main product and the pricing page is complete: per-unit prep, receiving by parcel, pallet or container, carton and pallet forwarding, carton opening and counting at $0.20 a unit, bundle tiers, suffocation-warning polybags from $0.25, bubble wrap, oversize surcharges and daily pallet storage falling from $1.20 to $0.70 with volume. Processing runs up to two working days. No minimum, no long-term contract, and they prep for Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart and Shopify. Read the terms carefully before committing. The $0.50 and $1.20 per-unit headline rates apply only to your first two months, after which pricing steps automatically to the Standard tier ($0.55 per unit at 1 to 999 prior-month units) or a Volume tier, published on the pricing page's tabbed panels that only render in a browser. Activating an account takes a $400 deposit, disclosed only on the About page. Free storage is stated as 14 days on two pages and 7 days on two others, and the pricing page lists receiving an item without a UPC or EAN barcode at both $0.30 and $3.00. A blog page says they have operated in Newark since 2015. The domain was registered to them in 2020, and web archives show it carried an unrelated test-prep tutoring site in 2015.
