WHAT IS OUR STANDARD FBA PREP SERVICE?
We are your quality control. No monthly fees, no subscriptions, our service is simple and laid out in every step of the process for your ease of use. We include e-mail support and are easy to reach as well as contact for any questions you may have.
Our prep services include:
- Base prep fee (Required – $0.50/item) includes – Receiving, Handling, Short Term Storage, Basic Inspection, Product Count, Master Carton Labeling, Packing Supplies and up to 10 FREE 18x18x24 Cartons.
- Advanced Inspections – $0.40 per unit in addition to the Base Prep Fee and entails opening and testing each unit. Basic Inspection is only for QA to make sure each unit meets FBA packing and label requirements.
- Labeling with your ASIN/FNSKU/UPC/EAN – 20 cents per item – We will print and attach UPC/EAN/ASIN or FNSKU labels to every item or polybag in your order. This is required so Amazon can identify the item, as well as the owner of the item.
- Label removal – 30 cents per item – In the event you have your product manufactured with a label that conflicts with Amazon’s requirements, we can remove it for you. We highly recommend adding our labeling extra with this feature as well.
- Polybagging – 20 cents per item – We will put each product into an FBA-approved polybag. This is required if you have any loose items, or items that can come apart.
- Packaging – Price varies – We can assemble your custom packaging, drop in your product, and make your product complete. Collapsing packaging can save you plenty on international shipments of products.
- Bundling – 25 cents per item in bundle – Our facility will mix and match your items together into any configuration you’d like.
- Rush service – 20 cents per item – Your order will be moved into our “rush queue”, which means we will put you in front of all of the “standard” service work orders. We have no time guarantee, but you will skip ahead of the “standard” customer list.

FREIGHT FORWARDING
$9.99 per carton plus shipping – or less, if shipping directly from China to FBA!
We offer the most reliable and easy to use air & sea shipping service from China, even going direct to FBA!
If you’re a seller that is prepared and has everything properly “prepped” and you do not need any services, you simply need “Forwarding.” You are sending the product from an American supplier to us, and we will send it directly to Amazon FBA US-warehouses, so your original address is not on the packaging. We take the original label addressed to us off, add ours (provided by you via Amazon), and ship to Amazon. We do not open the box, we do not inspect, and we do not offer any prep services with this feature. We are not responsible for extra fees incurred by Amazon for improper product prep & labeling. This is strictly a mail forwarding service, not a prep service.
REMOVAL ORDER SERVICE
Starting at $9.99 per carton, plus shipping
We will take your removal orders from Amazon and re-ship it to you. Amazon tends to send parts of return orders sporadically – we will send them out as we receive them. We will work with you to decide on a frequency that works best for you.
PHOTO SERVICES
Starting at $65 per photo
We have professional experience doing product photography. We can handle your photo needs as well, and offer multiple packages to help your product perform its best on Amazon. We will provide you high quality, fully processed, edited and listing-ready Amazon photos. Quotes are made on a personal basis, as there are many factors at hand with this service. Contact us for personalized photo package and details.

PREP AND FORWARDING
How come AMZ transit doesn’t include outbound shipping on prepped items to FBA?
Amazon’s Partnered Shipping option for transporting products from our facility to theirs is far less expensive than any carrier can offer independently. In the event you prefer not to use Amazon’s offering, we can provide quotes using standard carriers as well.
What is the difference between freight forwarding and AMZ Transit’s Forwarding service?
Freight forwarding is the actual shipping of goods. Our Forwarding service is available for those unable to receive goods at their location. We will receive and send your products to Amazon, without any prep or inspection, at a reduced rate.
FREIGHT FORWARDING AND SHIPPING
When shipping from my supplier, when is palletization required?
When shipping from your supplier, palletization is nearly always necessary.
What’s the difference between FOB vs EXW?
In a nutshell, FOB means that your goods will be ready at a port for pickup, and will be dropped off at a port. EXW, or “door-to-door” is picking up at the supplier’s location, and delivering right to our facility, or to Amazon. FOB can leave a little more in the supplier’s hands, while with EXW, we handle the entire process.
Why is your quote more expensive than another freight company’s?
While our rates are extremely competitive, we pride ourselves on reliability in shipping. We have never had a “miss” in shipping. Our network of carriers is built from years of experience, with plenty of testing carried out on each company. When you use us for shipping, you can be assured your products will be delivered without a hitch.
My supplier offered shipping for $300, why is your quote more expensive? Can you just pick up the goods at the port and take them to Amazon?
Many times suppliers don’t include charges for paperwork related to customs, or may package many customers’ goods together under their own name. While sometimes this works, we regularly see it cause delays and many extra charges (sometimes fees amounting to more than our original shipping quote). We highly recommend against using suppliers for shipping, unless you have substantial shipping experience.
Can you just pick up the goods at the port and take them to Amazon?
We really advise against this approach, as we often see customers surprised with fees and tight deadlines given by the port. There are many small nuances involved in shipping to Amazon that this approach leaves out.
Do you guys handle all customs?
Yes! We take care of all the paperwork for you, making sure you have an accurate quote, and a smooth importing experience. And in the event of the unexpected in shipping, we have extensive experience in rectifying nearly any situation that may arise.
I’m not in the USA, do I need an EIN to do business with you?
You don’t need an EIN to do business with us, but to sell on Amazon, you will need an EIN. Obtaining this is not a service we offer.
Can you ship direct to FBA?
Yes! Many of our customers who don’t need prep services do this to save money.
