FNSKU labeling
Accurate FNSKU and suffocation-warning labels applied per unit.
03 Amazon FBA Prep
FBA prep done right, shipped in on time.
Skip the prep fees and FC rejections. We poly-bag, label and carton your inventory to Amazon's spec, then send compliant, appointment-scheduled inbound shipments to the fulfillment centers.
Amazon charges for prep it does itself — and rejects what isn't to spec.
Talk prep
A reliable third-party prep partner keeps units compliant, avoids FC rejections, and often costs less than Amazon's own prep and labeling fees.
Prep-to-FC
Compliant, fast, rejection-free.
Every unit prepped to Amazon's current requirements, then sent inbound on an appointment so it lands clean and checks in without holds.
Poly-bag & bundle
Bagging, bundling and multipacks built to Amazon's packaging rules.
Carton compliance
Box weights, dimensions and box-content labels within FC limits.
Inbound to FCs
Appointment-scheduled, on-time shipments to the assigned fulfillment centers.
Service Flow — FBA Prep
From your inventory to the FC, to spec.
We receive your stock, prep every unit to Amazon's current requirements, build compliant cartons, and ship inbound on an appointment — while holding a buffer for FBM and off-Amazon channels.

Multi-channel edge
Run FBA and FBM from one pool of stock.
1One inventory
Keep a buffer in LA. Feed every channel from it.
Committing all your stock to Amazon is risky — a slow week ties up cash, a fast one leaves you out of stock. Hold a single inventory pool with us and we replenish FBA while serving FBM, DTC and wholesale from the same shelf.
- Buffer stock for FBM & DTC so you never fully depend on FBA
- Automated FBA replenishment on a cadence that matches your velocity
- One view of stock across every channel in real time
Why it matters
Brands that split inventory across channels from one pool avoid both stockouts and dead stock — protecting cash and Buy Box health at once.
How to choose
Choosing an FBA prep partner — the checklist.
Six questions worth asking before you hand a partner your inventory.
Do they keep up with Amazon's changing rules?
Prep requirements shift — your partner should track them so units never get rejected.
Can they run FBA and FBM together?
A buffer in the warehouse protects you from stockouts and over-commitment.
Is pricing transparent?
Per-unit prep and inbound freight should be clear, with no surprise line items.
Are they near the ports?
LA proximity shortens the path from container to FC and keeps freight cheap.
Do you get a real point of contact?
A dedicated specialist beats a ticket queue when a shipment needs attention.
Can you see inventory in real time?
You should always know what's on hand, prepped and inbound to Amazon.
Glowkey checks every box. Compliant prep, FBA + FBM from one pool, transparent pricing and a specialist who knows your account — minutes from the ports of LA.

FBA prep, answered.
What sellers ask before they route inventory through us.
QWill prepping with you cost less than Amazon?
For most sellers, yes — third-party prep and inbound freight on our corporate accounts typically comes in below Amazon's own prep and labeling fees. We'll quote your exact SKUs so you can compare.
QDo you handle both FBA and FBM?
Yes. We hold a single inventory pool, replenish FBA, and fulfill FBM and off-Amazon orders from the same stock — so you're never fully dependent on Amazon.
QHow do you avoid FC rejections?
Every unit is prepped to Amazon's current requirements — correct FNSKU and suffocation labels, compliant poly-bagging, and cartons within weight/dim limits with accurate box-content info.
QCan you receive containers directly?
Yes. We're minutes from the ports of LA/Long Beach and handle drayage and devanning, so imported inventory can go straight from the container to prep.
QHow fast can prep turn around?
Turnaround depends on volume and SKU complexity; we'll set a clear SLA during onboarding and keep you updated in the dashboard.
