01 / What we do

We get your stock into Amazon, and show you the price first.

ClearCrate is a UK prep, storage and forwarding warehouse for Amazon FBA sellers. Ship your stock to us from anywhere and we receive it, check it, store it, prep it to Amazon’s spec and send it in, whether that’s forwarding whole sealed cases or unpacking, storing and picking individual units. Same care either way, with pricing you can read straight off the page.

FBA prep & labelling Storage Case forwarding Quality inspection Disposal & WEEE
01

Your crate arrives

Ship from anywhere, parcel or pallet, with your packing list.

02

We receive & check

Counted, checked, and logged to a live sheet you can see.

03

Stored & insured

Held securely on our shelves and insured while in our care.

04

Prepped to spec

Labelled, bagged or forwarded — only what your shipment needs.

05

Shipped to Amazon

Built to Amazon standards and sent in, typically within 24 hours.*

Tip: send us your bulk cartons (say 1,000 units packed into a few big boxes) and we’ll unbox them and re-pack into right-sized, cost-effective cartons to ship into Amazon, so you’re not paying to send half-empty boxes.

02 / Who it’s for

Is this you?

Most of our sellers arrive looking like one of these three. If you recognise yourself, you’ll fit right in.

THE SIDE-HUSTLER

“My spare room is full and my day job isn’t.”

A few cartons a month, no time to prep in the evenings. Send stock straight to us instead of your hallway — no membership fee, so quiet months cost you nothing.

THE SCALER

“Past 100 units a month, prep is eating my week.”

You’ve outgrown DIY prep and want your hours back for sourcing. Volume rates, 24-hour turnaround and a live sheet showing exactly what’s on our shelves.

THE OVERSEAS SELLER

“I sell on amazon.co.uk but I’m not in the UK.”

You need a UK address your suppliers can ship to and hands you can trust to receive, check and forward into FBA. That’s us — ship from anywhere, we handle the rest.

03 / The honest difference

We did the homework, so we knew exactly what annoyed us.

Every prep centre claims “transparent pricing,” then hits you with a quote form and surprise line items. We just put the prices on the page.

Our full rate card is right here. Use the calculator below: no form, no waiting, no sales call to get a number.

£0.24 “preparation”

Real all-in totals

No headline rate that quietly doubles once standard services are added. The number you see is the number you pay.

£35/mo membership

No membership fee

Pay only for what we actually handle. No subscription sitting on your account whether you ship or not.

05 / In action

Two ways your stock moves through us.

Whichever fits you, forward whole sealed cases, or send loose units for us to unpack, store and pick. Here’s exactly what happens in each.

Flow A · Case forwarding, per case
01

Case arrives

Sealed case lands with us, packing list attached.

02

Checked in

We check the case’s outer condition, part of the included basic check.

03

Onto the shelf

Stored whole and insured until you need it.

04

Picked when needed

You say go, we pull the case, forwarded sealed, or opened for an optional deep check first.

05

Labelled & sent

FBA labels on, taped, forwarded straight to Amazon.

Flow B · Units in boxes, per unit
01

Carton arrives

One carton, many units inside, e.g. 20 speakers in one box.

02

Unpacked & counted

Opened, every unit counted, checked and logged.

03

Into stock

Units shelved individually and insured, ready to pick.

04

Picked & boxed

We pick the quantity you want into a new shipping box. Optional deep inspection here before it goes.

05

Labelled & sent

Boxed, labelled and sent in to Amazon.

Scanning stock at the ClearCrate bench

Our promise: lose it or break it, we pay for it

Your stock is insured from the moment it lands with us to the moment it ships out. If we lose or damage anything while it’s in our care, you’re reimbursed at cost — no forms fight, no quibbling. That’s the deal.

Insured premises · CCTV · alarmed · gated site

Bundling & kitting

Need singly-sold items joined into a multipack, for example two balloons combined into one sellable set, with “sold as set” labelling? We do that. It varies too much to put a single price on, so drop us an email with what you need and we’ll quote it.

Priced per job · email us

Something specific in mind?

We handle bespoke requirements all the time: odd-shaped items, special packaging, one-off projects. Just send us an email telling us what you need and we’ll be happy to help. (We’re quicker and clearer over email than on the phone.)

● Beyond Amazon

Selling on eBay, Etsy or your own store? We’ll ship those orders too.

ClearCrate isn’t just for Amazon. List your stock on any marketplace, and as orders come in just send us the shipping labels. We pick the item, pack it and get it out to your customer, all from the same stock we already hold for you. One warehouse, every channel, no second prep centre to manage.

● Try us on us

Your first carton is free.

Send us one carton and we’ll receive it, check it and forward it to Amazon — free. If we’re not the easiest prep centre you’ve ever used, you’ve lost nothing. One free carton per new seller.

07 / Who we are

Real people, real warehouse. Come meet us.

Matt and Jim, the founders of ClearCrate, in the warehouse

ClearCrate is run by Matt and Jim from our warehouse in Whaplode Drove, Lincolnshire. Before we prepped anyone else’s stock, we were Amazon FBA sellers ourselves — sourcing, prepping, shipping in, and learning the hard way exactly what Amazon accepts and what gets a shipment stuck in limbo.

That’s the difference when you work with us: we’ve done it all from the seller’s side, so we prep to Amazon’s spec first time and flag problems before they cost you money. Prices on the page, a live sheet showing what’s on our shelves, and when you email, you get Matt or Jim — not a ticket queue.

08 / Find us

A real building, locked down properly.

Your stock lives in a secure commercial warehouse — not a spare room. Visitors welcome by appointment; plenty of sellers like to see where their stock will live before sending it.
