How it works
The Amazon FBA Prep Process
Send Your Products To Us
Getting started with our Amazon FBA Prep service is simple. Ship your inventory directly to our UK fulfilment centre near Liverpool Docks by container, pallet, or parcel. Our team will receive, inspect, and log every item on arrival, notifying you immediately of any discrepancies so nothing gets missed.
We Prep Everything to Amazon's Standards
Our specialists handle every requirement Amazon demands. FNSKU and ASIN labelling, poly bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrapping, bundling, taping, and full packaging reworks, all handled in-house. We apply ASN labels so your shipments clear into Amazon fulfilment centres without a hitch.
Your Stock Goes In, On Your Terms
Once prep is complete, we ship your inventory to Amazon in bulk or drip-feed it on your schedule. Drip-feeding helps you avoid long-term storage fees and keeps your IPI score where it needs to be. Need a backup plan? We switch seamlessly to Seller Fulfilled Prime, so your customers still get next-day delivery with a Prime badge, at up to 75% less than standard FBA fees.

Amazon-Approved Fulfilment Centre
Our warehouse meets Amazon's standards for Seller Fulfilled Prime. Every order is picked, packed, and shipped to the service levels Amazon expects. You can sell with confidence.
Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing
We agree your FBA Prep pricing during onboarding and send a clear invoice breakdown of every cost line. No binding contracts, no surprise fees.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Our web portal gives you full control over your stock. View live inventory levels, track orders across every sales channel, and manage your stock to prevent overselling. You always know exactly where you stand.
Strategically Located for Faster, Cheaper FBA Prep
Our Amazon FBA Prep centre is based in Aintree, Liverpool, just minutes from one of the UK's busiest container ports. This gives your business a real logistical advantage from day one.
When your stock arrives into the UK by sea, it reaches our warehouse faster and at a lower freight cost than inland prep centres. Less time in transit means more time selling on Amazon.
We sit right on the national motorway network with direct access to the M57, M58, and M62. This connects us to Amazon fulfilment centres across the country. Whether we are shipping your prepped FBA stock in bulk or drip-feeding it, deliveries arrive quickly and reliably.
For sellers importing goods internationally, our proximity to Liverpool Docks removes an entire leg of the supply chain. Your containers can be unloaded, inspected, prepped, and labelled to Amazon's standards all under one roof, without the added cost of moving stock to a separate FBA Prep centre.
Partner With Award Winners
Don't just take our word for it. We provide our clients with the best customer support in the business. Your customers are our customers. Because of this, we've won countless fulfilment centre awards.

Amazon FBA Prep Compliance
From January 2026, Amazon no longer offers in-house prep and labelling services. Every unit must arrive at their fulfilment centres fully prepped and compliant, or risk rejected shipments, additional fees, and stranded inventory.
MCF takes that responsibility off your hands. Our team inspects every shipment on arrival, checks product condition, and applies the correct Amazon FBA Prep for each item type. That includes FNSKU and ASIN labelling, poly bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrapping, taping, bundling, and full packaging reworks when needed.
Every item is scanned and validated electronically before it leaves our warehouse, giving you two compliance checks as standard. Your account stays healthy, and your stock clears into Amazon without delays.

Why Use an FBA Prep Centre?
Managing your own Amazon FBA Prep takes time. Keeping up with Amazon's packaging requirements, applying labels correctly, booking shipments, managing storage: it all adds up, and as your business grows it becomes a serious bottleneck. Outsourcing your prep to MCF frees that time up.
Focus On Growing Your Business
When we handle the prep, you focus on sourcing better products, improving your listings, and scaling your marketing. The operational work is off your plate.
Reduce Rejected Shipments
Every unit leaves our warehouse meeting Amazon's exact packaging and labelling standards. Fewer rejections mean fewer delays, lower costs, and a healthier seller account.
Lower Your Amazon Storage Costs
We hold your inventory and release it into Amazon on your schedule. Drip-feeding stock keeps your long-term storage fees down and your IPI score healthy, protecting your ability to send stock in.
Scale Without the Overhead
You do not need warehouse space, equipment, or extra staff to grow. As your order volumes increase, MCF scales with you. You pay for what you use, not for capacity you might need one day.

FAQ
FBA Prep Common Questions
Here are some common questions we get asked about Amazon FBA Prep.
Amazon FBA Prep is the process of preparing your products to meet Amazon's strict packaging, labelling, and shipment standards before they arrive at a fulfilment centre. This includes applying FNSKU or ASIN barcodes, poly bagging, bubble wrapping, bundling, and creating compliant packing lists. Since January 2026, Amazon no longer offers in-house prep services, which means every unit must arrive fully prepped and labelled. Products that do not meet these standards can be rejected, delayed, or flagged as defects on your Inbound Performance Dashboard, which can impact your account health and cost you money.
We provide a full Amazon FBA Prep service covering everything Amazon requires. That includes FNSKU and ASIN barcode labelling, poly bagging with suffocation warnings, bubble wrapping for fragile items, taping, bundling, set creation, packaging reworks, and detailed packing lists for upload to Seller Central or Vendor Central. We also apply ASN labels to every shipment and can handle container unloading for sellers importing stock through nearby Liverpool Docks. If you also sell through other channels, we offer eCommerce fulfilment, Shopify fulfilment, and retail fulfilment services alongside your FBA Prep.
Yes. Many of our clients use MCF as a buffer between their supplier and Amazon's fulfilment centres. We receive and store your inventory at our warehouse, then ship it into Amazon in bulk or drip-feed it on your schedule. This helps you avoid Amazon's long-term storage fees and keeps your IPI score healthy. If you run out of FBA stock, we can also fulfil orders directly to your customers through Seller Fulfilled Prime, so your listing stays live with a Prime badge while you restock.
Our fulfilment centre processes are built around Amazon's packaging and labelling standards. Every item is inspected on arrival and prepped according to its product type. Our pick and pack team then scan each product electronically, providing two validation checks before anything is shipped. This prevents labelling errors or incorrect packaging from reaching Amazon, which protects your seller account from defects, rejected shipments, and additional fees. We stay up to date with Amazon's evolving requirements so you do not have to.
Getting started is straightforward. Contact our team through the form on this page or call us on 0151 459 6660. We will discuss your product types, order volumes, and any specific prep requirements, then provide you with clear, transparent pricing. Once agreed, you can begin shipping your inventory directly to our fulfilment centre near Liverpool. We handle the rest, from receiving and inspection through to prepping, labelling, and shipping into Amazon or direct to your customers via international freight if needed.
