Industry Change

Amazon Ended Its Own Prep Service

In January 2026, Amazon officially discontinued its FBA Prep Service (formerly FBA Label Service). Sellers can no longer rely on Amazon to label, bag, or prep inventory upon arrival at fulfillment centers. Every unit must now arrive at FBA fully prepped, labeled, and compliant — or it gets rejected.

FAQs

What is an Amazon prep service?

An Amazon prep service is a third-party operation that receives your inventory, prepares it to meet Amazon FBA requirements, and ships it to Amazon fulfillment centers on your behalf. Prep services handle tasks like FNSKU labeling, poly bagging, shrink wrapping, bundling, inspection, and compliance checks — so your products arrive at Amazon ready to be stowed and sold.

Why do I need an external prep service now?

As of January 2026, Amazon discontinued its own FBA Prep Service (formerly known as FBA Label Service). Sellers can no longer rely on Amazon to label or prep their inventory. Every unit must now arrive at Amazon fulfillment centers fully prepped and compliant. This means sellers need to either prep in-house or use an external Amazon prep service like PrepVia to handle labeling, packaging, and compliance before shipping to FBA.

What does PrepVia's prep service include?

PrepVia's Amazon prep service covers the full range of FBA preparation: FNSKU labeling (up to 13,200 labels per hour, automated), poly bagging with suffocation warnings, shrink wrapping, bubble wrapping for fragile items, bundling and kitting (up to 7,200 multipacks per hour), and inspection and compliance checks. Every unit is tracked with 2D barcodes from check-in to dispatch.

How fast is your prep turnaround?

PrepVia's standard prep SLA is 24 to 36 hours for eligible workflows. For sellers who need maximum speed, our FastLane 35H program guarantees your inventory goes from PrepVia check-in to Amazon FBA delivered status within 35 hours — or prep is free. Our automation processes up to 13,200 FNSKU labels per hour and 7,200 multipacks per hour.

Is there a minimum order?

No. PrepVia has no minimum order requirements. Whether you are shipping 10 units or 40,000 units, you get the same automation, speed, and accuracy. Our pricing scales with volume, and we offer Net-30 terms with no credit check.

How much does Amazon prep service cost?

PrepVia prices prep per unit, with no hidden fees and no minimums. Pricing varies by service type (labeling, poly bagging, bundling, etc.) and volume. Pricing is quoted per account on a free 15-minute call: schedule one to get a custom quote for your specific workflow.

What is the FastLane 35H guarantee?

FastLane 35H is PrepVia's premium speed guarantee. It ensures your inventory goes from PrepVia check-in to Amazon FBA delivered status within 35 hours. If we miss the SLA, prep is free. The program supports shipments up to 40,000 units to eligible fulfillment centers in FL, NC, GA, and AL.
