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. Cautions, plainly: the operator publishes contact by email and WhatsApp only, with no phone line or street address on the site, and we list the center at state level because the warehouse city is not yet confirmed from a primary source. Site marketing counters are self-stated and internally inconsistent, so we do not repeat them.
