Editor summary

The Discount Prep is an Amazon FBA prep center at 1420 Gemini Blvd, Suite 12, in Orlando, Florida, run as the prep and 3PL arm of Cake Brands USA, a wholesale distributor of baking and grocery products at the same address. Prep is the main offer and the rate card is published: FNSKU labeling $0.50 per unit including dunnage, repacking and box labels; polybag or bubble bag plus FNSKU $1.15; bundling plus FNSKU from $1.25 for a two-item set to $2.50 for seven or more; carton forwarding and inspection $30 per hour; palletization $40 per pallet. Inbound inspection, leak clean-up and damage photos are part of the workflow, and shipments leave on Amazon's partnered UPS or LTL carriers. A second line handles FBM orders at $3.00 to $7.50 per unit by size, with pallet storage at $45 per month. The site states a 24 to 48 hour prep window. Its homepage offers five business days of free storage, while its July 2025 price list says seven days, in the first month only. Cautions: the site now says it has served sellers since 2018 and an earlier version said since 2012, but the domain was registered in March 2022 and the Florida LLC that owns the trade name was formed in January 2021. The 2,000+ businesses figure and the under 1% error rate are the operator's own claims. The same website also runs a clearance shop selling wholesale lots, overstock and returned inventory from Amazon sellers out of its Orlando warehouse.
