Editor summary

YYC Prep is a marketplace prep center in southeast Calgary, Alberta, run by YYC Prep, Pack and Ship Inc., an Alberta corporation incorporated in July 2023. Archived copies of its website show it offering FBA prep in Calgary from at least January 2021. It preps inventory for Amazon FBA, Walmart and eBay: receiving, count and inspection, FNSKU and UPC labelling, expiry-date labels, polybagging, bubble wrap, bundling and dispatch to the fulfillment center in your account. The full rate card is published in Canadian dollars before tax: $1.20 per unit for 1 to 100 units a month, stepping down to $0.70 between 9,001 and 20,000, with receiving, labelling and outbound handling in the base rate. Box receiving is free, pallets are $10, and a $20 monthly portal fee applies below 1,000 units. FBM order fulfilment from $2.30 an order, storage from $9.99 a month and return inspection at $1.50 an item are priced add-ons. Cautions: the $0.20 per unit headline is the low end of a quoted range for more than 20,000 units a month. The business moved from yycprep.ca to yycprep.com in August 2026 and the old domain has lapsed; the phone number and warehouse address carry over. The warehouse does not take visitors.
