Editor summary

URI Prep & Ship is an Alabama prep operation running since 2019, incorporated as URI, Inc with the state's registry recording its business purpose as a prep center for Amazon shipments. The card is published and per-unit: $1.00 per item up to 3,999 units a month, $0.90 at 4,000 and above, covering receiving, inspection, labeling, poly bagging, and sticker removal, with 30 days of free inventory storage included; fragile handling, bundling, and pallets carry additional charges. Clients work through a live self-serve portal for product submission, status tracking, and invoicing, with a stated 24 to 48 hour turnaround. Co-founder Ash Patel fronts the operation and is the state-registered agent. Location and contact: the operator's 2026-08-03 email reply carried a Lanett, AL business address and a direct phone number for buyer inquiries, which is what the listing now shows; the public site itself still publishes email and WhatsApp contact only, and a 2025 customs record independently points to Lanett. Site marketing counters are self-stated and internally inconsistent, so we do not repeat them.
