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 its price list, effective October 15, 2026, prices each service per unit by volume. Every prep order pays for receiving and inspection, $0.30 a unit at 1 to 100 units, on top of the prep it needs. At that volume an FNSKU label is $0.65 a unit, a poly or bubble bag with the label is $1.40 for items under 12 inches ($2.25 at 12 inches and up), and a two-item bundle is $1.75. Receiving carries a $15 minimum charge per shipment. 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. Storage is billed monthly, from $4 for a small bin to $45 for a standard pallet, and is free for 7 days after the box or pallet report in the first month only. The site states a 24 to 48 hour prep window. 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.

How we verified this listing

This listing was checked against our 4-point operator standard before being published. We run automated liveness checks on published listings, re-verify on user reports, and update when the operator edits details directly via the claim flow.

Prep centers can pay for a clearly labeled Featured placement. For US requests on our current matching form, we send a summary of the seller's answers, without their name, business or contact details, to up to 25 prep centers that fit: our picks, up to 10, and the next ones in fit order. A prep center that wants the work accepts, and the seller chooses which ones we introduce them to. A prep center pays us a fee, shown on each request, only for an introduction we send after both sides accept (its first is free). A prep center in the US with an active paid Featured subscription pays for Featured instead. No prep center can pay for editorial ranking, a shortlist pick, or this verification.
