Every prep step

What Amazon requires, and what we get right.

We follow Amazon's spec to the letter, then add the care that keeps your account out of compliance jail.

Receive & inspect

Every inbound pallet counted, inspected, and photo-documented, so you know exactly what landed before a single label is applied.

FNSKU labeling

Every unit labeled with the correct FNSKU, applied flat, scan-verified, and covering the existing barcode as best practice.

Polybagging

1.5 mil and 4 mil polybags with required suffocation warnings on bags 5"x5" or larger. Apparel, soft goods, fragile.

Bundling for FBA

Multi-pack ASINs assembled and sealed as a single sellable unit. "Sold as set" stickers where required.

Expiration verification

For consumables: date verification, MM/DD/YYYY relabeling per Amazon's spec, FIFO inventory rotation.

Case packing

Cartons packed to your ASIN's case-pack qty, weight under 50 lbs, labeled with shipment ID and FNSKU.

Palletized inbound

Built to Amazon's pallet spec (40x48, ≤72" tall, shrink-wrapped, BOL labeled). One pallet per FC destination.

Amazon Partnered Carrier

Shipped directly from your Seller Central inbound plan, typically within 24–48 hrs of receipt.

Poly-bagged, FNSKU-labeled Units poly-bagged with suffocation warnings and FNSKU-labeled, staged in bins before palletizing for an FBA shipment
Prepped to spec

Every unit leaves compliance-ready.

The details that keep a shipment from getting held at receive, handled the first time, at the volume you're sending in.

  • FNSKU applied flat & scan-verified over the existing barcode, per Amazon best practice.
  • Polybags with suffocation warnings on bags 5"×5" or larger. 1.5 mil and 4 mil on hand.
  • Expiration & case-pack checks in Amazon's MM/DD/YYYY format, with FIFO rotation on consumables.

Why brands run FBA with us

Six things that actually matter on tight Amazon margins.

  • Pricing you can plan around. $1 / unit, $0 setup, no minimums, transparent and scalable. Amazon margins are tight; the rate shouldn't be a surprise.
  • One warehouse, one inventory pool. Sell on Shopify and Amazon? Don't split inventory across two 3PLs. We hold one pool of stock and route units to FBA or DTC as velocity changes.
  • Fast turn-around to Amazon Partnered Carriers. Most FBA pallets are picked, packed, and out the door within 24–48 hours of inbound receipt. Rush prep available same-day on request.
  • No compliance scrambles. Suffocation warnings, expiration date format, FNSKU placement. We get the spec right the first time so your shipment doesn't get held at receive.
  • Daily photo proof on outbound pallets. Same daily photo updates we send for DTC orders, for FBA pallets, BOL, and inbound shipment IDs too.
  • Ex-ecommerce operators in the room. We've sold on Amazon ourselves and we flag the stuff that costs you sales. Bad ASIN setup, missing variation hub, broken case-pack, before it ships.

Questions, answered

FBA prep questions.

How much does Honeybee charge for Amazon FBA prep?

Amazon FBA prep (wholesale) is $1 per unit. Setup fee is $0. No minimums. That rate is all-in for receive & inspect, FNSKU labeling, polybag & bundle, case pack, palletize, and ship via Amazon Partnered Carriers. Storage and oversized handling are quoted up front at standard market rates. Transparent, scalable pricing. No surprise fees, no hidden volume tiers.

Is there a minimum volume for FBA prep?

No minimums for Amazon FBA prep. Start at any volume. (For DTC ecommerce fulfillment on Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce, our floor is 300 orders/month.)

What's included in Honeybee's Amazon FBA prep?

At the $1 / unit rate: receive & photo-documented inbound count, FNSKU labeling (scan-verified, applied to every unit), polybagging (1.5 mil and 4 mil where required) with suffocation warnings, bundling for multi-pack ASINs, expiration date verification and MM/DD/YYYY relabeling, fragile / oversize prep, case packing to Amazon's case-pack rules, palletizing to Amazon's pallet specs, and ship via an Amazon Partnered Carrier directly from Seller Central.

How fast do FBA pallets ship to Amazon?

Most FBA pallets ship via an Amazon Partnered Carrier within 24 to 48 hours of inbound receipt at our Plano warehouse. Rush prep is available on request. Message your account manager and we'll prioritize the shipment same-day.

Can you handle FBA prep and DTC fulfillment under the same roof?

Yes. That's the whole point of Honeybee. Same inventory, same warehouse, same account manager. We can split your inventory between FBA-bound and DTC-bound, and shift the ratio as Amazon's velocity changes.

Do you do hazmat or restricted FBA prep?

We handle most non-hazmat restricted categories including supplements, beauty, and apparel. We do not handle ORM-D or fully regulated hazmat at this time. Your account manager will flag anything that requires Amazon-specific category approval up front.

Can you ship to multiple Amazon fulfillment centers?

Yes. Amazon's inbound plan routes inventory across multiple fulfillment centers (FCs). We palletize each FC shipment separately, label per Amazon's BOL requirements, and ship via Amazon Partnered Carriers (or your preferred LTL partner if you'd rather route it yourself). See the Amazon fulfillment centers across the DFW metro we prep and ship to.
