Six steps, and every price prints the moment it happens, nothing sprung on you at the end. Below, follow one real carton of 100 units the whole way through — the units-in-boxes path. Sending sealed cases instead? Those forward whole, never opened.
The van backs onto the dock and your carton is in our hands. It’s booked in against your packing list the same day it arrives, and from this moment your stock is insured in our care.
Flaps open, every unit is counted into your live inventory sheet and gets a quick once-over for obvious damage. If the supplier shorted you, you find out now, not when Amazon does.
Onto ambient, insured racking it goes, and there it sits until you call it in. Billed by the cubic metre per calendar month, not by the pallet, not by the “bay”, and never a fee you didn’t see coming. Picture one cubic metre as a large fridge-freezer, or a pallet stacked about waist high; you only pay for the space you actually use. And if your stock just stages with us briefly before forwarding on, that short stay is free — storage is only billed when stock actually stays.
When you’re ready to send stock to Amazon, we print and apply the FNSKU label and cover any other scannable barcode so the fulfilment centre can’t mis-scan it. One label, one unit, no mixups.
Your units go into the shipping carton, your own box reused if it’s still sound, otherwise a fresh one built to Amazon spec. FBA carton labels on, taped and ready for the truck.
Booked onto the truck and on its way to the fulfilment centre, typically within 24 hours of us having complete labels and paperwork. Every line on that receipt was priced before you sent us a single box.
The journey above is the core path every order takes. These are extras you can add to any shipment, all on the same public rate card, priced per unit, never a surprise.
A 1-in-10 spot check or a full item-by-item check. Anything faulty is photographed and set aside before it ever reaches a customer.
How inspection works →FBA-compliant bags with the required safety print, sealed and ready for the fulfilment centre.
Fresh boxes built to Amazon spec, for when your own aren’t sound enough to reuse.
Every number you just watched print is on our public rate card right now, and the calculator prices your exact volumes in about 30 seconds. No email required, no “POA”.
