Amazon stopped prepping US inventory in January 2026. Think14 is your prep partner: an owned Texas facility that labels, preps, stores and forwards your inventory to FBA at $0.75/unit, 48-hour SLA, no minimums.
Many prep centers advertise $0.40 or $0.50 per unit, then the invoice arrives with line items the ad never mentioned. Here is what usually costs extra elsewhere, and what our flat $0.75 includes.
Receiving fees per carton, software or portal fees per month, storage minimums whether you use the space or not, per-shipment charges, and surcharges for polybags or bubble wrap. The advertised rate is rarely the paid rate.
Receiving, inspection against your packing list, FNSKU labeling, polybag or bubble wrap where Amazon requires it, carton labels, and the FBA inbound shipment. One number, one invoice line.
We own the Texas building. No rent pass-throughs, no franchise royalties, no per-location margins stacked on top. Owned floor, one team, flat rate.
Amazon ended its own US prep in January 2026, so every FBA seller now needs this decision. Six things to check before you commit, whoever you pick.
Networks reselling franchise warehouses cannot control your turnaround or your rate next year. Ask if the company owns or directly operates the building your stock will sit in. We do.
Ask for the total cost of one labeled, polybagged unit inbounded to FBA, including receiving and software. If the answer has more than one number in it, budget for the bigger one.
A cheap rate on a 7-day turnaround costs you stockouts. Ours is 48 hours dock to FBA shipment, written into the agreement.
Damaged cartons and mislabeled stock are normal. What matters is same-day photos, quarantine, and your choice of fix, hold, or return. If they cannot describe the process, they do not have one.
Returns are where margins die. A prep partner that also processes returns, and resells 60-70% of them like we do, pays for itself in recovered stock.
If you sell or plan to sell on Walmart, TikTok Shop or eBay, one floor holding one inventory pool beats splitting stock across providers. We fulfill all of them.
Sellers usually switch after a surprise invoice, a blown turnaround, or lost units. Moving to us is simpler than it sounds.
We map it line by line against our flat rate so you see the real difference before moving anything. Most sellers find 15-30% hidden in fees.
No need to move existing stock. Your next container or supplier shipment comes to our Texas dock instead. We are receiving within a day of arrival.
Keep your old provider through one full cycle if you want the safety net. Most sellers consolidate with us after the first 48-hour turnaround lands on time.

A facility that receives your inventory and makes it Amazon-ready: FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, kitting and FBA inbound shipments. Amazon stopped offering US prep in January 2026, so a prep partner is now essential.
Texas, a central US location with 1-3 day ground transit to most Amazon fulfillment centers nationwide.
$0.75 per unit with no minimums, on a 48-hour SLA. Storage is $0.50 per cubic foot.
Yes. We prep for sellers in every US state from our owned Texas facility, and forward to any Amazon fulfillment center.
Because $0.75 is the whole price. Advertised $0.40 rates typically add receiving fees, software fees, storage minimums and material surcharges. Ask any provider for the all-in cost of one labeled, bagged unit inbounded to FBA, then compare.
No. Receiving, inspection, the client portal and standard materials are inside the $0.75 unit rate. Storage is the only separate line, at $0.50 per cubic foot on space actually used.
Your next supplier shipment can come straight to our Texas dock. We are typically receiving within a day of arrival and shipping your first FBA inbound within 48 hours. No need to move existing stock.
