No. Since January 1, 2026, Amazon no longer preps seller inventory at its U.S. fulfillment centers. FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, and bundle prep are now the seller's job, handled in-house or through a third-party prep service like Simpl.
What is an FBA prep service?
An FBA prep service gets your units compliant before they ship to Amazon. That means FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap for fragile items, bundle and set creation, expiration dating, and carton and pallet labeling, so your inventory arrives ready to sell.
How much does FBA prep cost?
FBA prep is priced per unit, and the rate depends on what each SKU needs and how much you ship. Simpl charges a flat per-unit fee with no hidden surcharges, and shares rates after a short conversation about your volume. See our pricing page for current rates.
What does FBA prep include?
