Full 3PL

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

Editor summary

Southern Trading Solutions is an owner-operated 3PL at 191 Charter Place in La Vergne, Tennessee, about 20 miles from downtown Nashville, in an 80,000 sq ft building the operator says is air conditioned throughout with 10 dock-high doors. Kitting and assembly is its main line, and its FBA prep page describes prep as work done by that kitting team: FNSKU labels printed and applied in-house, poly bagging and protective packaging, expiration and lot dating, inspection and rework, multipack builds, carton prep and case packing, and palletizing for LTL shipments to match your shipment plan. Bulk inventory can be stored between FBA shipments, and Amazon removal orders are received and inspected. The same building runs ecommerce, B2B, D2C and subscription fulfillment, with same-day parcel shipping on orders in by 11 a.m. CT. The company was registered in Tennessee in September 2022 and moved here from a smaller Gallatin warehouse. Cautions: FBA prep is quote-only with no published rates; there is no stated minimum, and the site says small unit counts are usually not worth the setup; freight to Amazon is booked by the seller or Amazon, not by them; and the dedicated FBA prep page went up in 2026, although FBA prep has been listed among its services since at least April 2024.
