Why Amazon Sellers Outsource FBA Prep

Selling on Amazon is the easy part. Getting every unit prepped, labeled, and packed the way Amazon requires is where the hours — and the fees — pile up.

Prep Is Eating Your Time

Labeling, bagging, bundling, and building boxes by hand takes hours you should be spending on sourcing, listings, and marketing.

Mistakes Cost You at Check-In

Wrong labels, loose bundles, or oversized cartons can mean delays, extra fees, or inventory refused at the fulfillment center — and stockouts on your best sellers.

You've Outgrown Your Space

When inventory takes over your home, office, or back room, it's time for a real warehouse, trained people, and a WMS behind every unit.

Our FBA prep service in the United States takes care of every task needed to prepare and ship your products to Amazon fulfillment centers. We inspect, sort, label, and package your inventory so it meets Amazon's requirements and reaches your customers in perfect condition.

Everything happens in our own Houston warehouse, with our own team — and every unit is registered in our EON WMS from the moment it arrives, so you always know what we received, what's been prepped, and what's on its way to Amazon.

Smarter Inventory Strategy

Keep Your Bulk Stock With Us. Send Amazon Only What Sells.

Amazon doesn't let you send all your inventory at once: capacity limits cap how much each seller can store in its fulfillment centers. And storage there isn't priced the same all year — monthly fees rise in peak season, so keeping several pallets at Amazon from October to December can get very expensive.

The smarter play: store your main stock in our Houston warehouse and send FBA only what your sales call for. We prep and ship replenishments as your inventory at Amazon runs down, so you stay in stock without paying Amazon rates for inventory that isn't selling yet.

Frequently Asked

FBA Prep, Explained

What is FBA prep?

FBA prep is everything that has to happen to your products before they can be sent to an Amazon fulfillment center: inspection, FNSKU labeling, bundling, protective packaging, carton and pallet labeling, and palletizing. Amazon has strict requirements for each step, and inventory that doesn't meet them can be delayed, charged extra fees, or refused at check-in.

How much does FBA prep cost with Chronos USA?

FBA prep is priced per unit or per carton depending on the services each SKU needs, plus receiving, storage, and outbound handling. Request a quote with your products and approximate monthly volume and we'll send a breakdown based on your real numbers.

Do I need to give you access to my Seller Central account?

You stay in control of your Amazon account. You create the shipment in Seller Central and share the shipment details and labels with us; we prep, label, and pack your inventory to match that shipment and coordinate its dispatch to the assigned fulfillment center.

Why not send all my inventory straight to Amazon?

Amazon limits how much inventory each seller can send and store through capacity limits, and its monthly storage fees rise in peak season. Keeping your bulk stock in our Houston warehouse and sending FBA only what your sales require keeps you in stock while avoiding high storage costs at Amazon for inventory that isn't selling yet.

Can you store my back-stock and send inventory to Amazon in batches?

Yes. We can keep your back-stock in our Houston warehouse and send prepped inventory to Amazon as your shipments require, so you don't have to send everything at once. All inventory is tracked in real time in our EON WMS. See storage options.

Can you also fulfill orders from my other sales channels?

Yes. The same inventory we prep for Amazon can be used to fulfill orders from your own online store or other marketplaces through our ecommerce fulfillment service — one warehouse and one WMS for all your channels.
