FBA Prep Is More Than A Process. It’s A Strategy.
A mislabelled unit can be quarantined at Amazon’s door. A bundling error can trigger a compliance issue. A missed poly bag requirement can delay an entire shipment.
These mistakes cost time, money and can disrupt your Amazon operations. That’s why getting your prep right the first time is essential.

Amazon FBA Shipment Creation.
Some 3PL providers require you to create and finalise your own Amazon FBA shipments before sending the information across to them. This can be a time consuming process involving significant back and forth communication, while also increasing the risk of incorrect shipment details, mismatched labels and product errors.
As an Amazon recommended FBA Prep provider, Blue30 has access to an Amazon Partner account, allowing us to securely access your Seller Central account through restricted permissions and create and manage FBA shipments on your behalf.
This allows us to streamline the entire FBA preparation and shipping process, reducing delays and helping to eliminate errors caused by mismatched shipment information and labelling.
We can ensure shipments are created and processed correctly, labels are matched accurately, and tracking information is uploaded within Amazon's required timeframes. This helps keep your operations running smoothly while reducing the risk of issues that could negatively impact your Amazon account health.
Built With Amazon Logistics In Mind.
Most 3PL warehouses are built around storage. Blue30 is built differently.
Our entire operation has been designed with a different mindset to receive, inspect, prepare and move your stock into Amazon as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We don’t believe inventory should sit in a warehouse longer than necessary. Our processes, systems and warehouse operations are built around keeping stock moving, from the moment it arrives at our facility through to delivery at an Amazon Fulfilment Centre.
This is why we have invested in specialist systems, processes and workflows designed to improve efficiency throughout our facilities, reduce unnecessary handling and keep your Amazon supply chain moving.
Amazon FBA Prep Recommeneded Service Provider.
We don’t just work to Amazon’s strict standards. We are recommended by Amazon, giving you the confidence that your products are being handled in line with their requirements, with no compromise.
As one of the UK’s specialist Amazon FBA recommended service providers, we understand that Amazon FBA Prep is about far more than simply applying a label to a product. Every requirement, process and detail matters when it comes to ensuring your stock reaches Amazon compliant and ready for sale.
Don’t take the risk of using a 3PL that treats Amazon as simply a bolt on service. Amazon is one of the UK’s largest e commerce platforms and should be treated as such.
Choose a provider that understands the Amazon ecosystem, keeps up with its constantly evolving requirements and has built its operations around supporting brands that sell and scale on the platform.

What Is FBA Prep?
FBA prep is the process of ensuring your products are compliant and ready to enter Amazon’s fulfilment network.
Each product must be correctly prepared and identifiable. This may involve applying FNSKU labels, particularly for products not using a manufacturer barcode or items being sold as sets. Products may also require additional protection, such as polybagging liquids to prevent leaks or bubble wrapping fragile and glass items.
Compliance extends beyond individual products. Cartons and pallets must also meet Amazon’s requirements, including weight limits, warning labels for heavier boxes, and “Do Not Separate” labels for sets.
As part of our FBA prep service, we manage the entire preparation process, including creating your Amazon FBA shipments, ensuring your stock is correctly prepared and ready for delivery to Amazon fulfilment centres.
The Complete FBA Prep Process.
1. Receiving and Inspection: You get your stock shipped to our address directly from your suppliers and enter the order onto our system. Our Blue30 inbound team then receives your inventory and thoroughly inspects each item for any damage or discrepancies.
If any issues are found, you will be notified and provided with photographic evidence. This step ensures that your supplier has shipped the correct quantity and that only high quality, correct products are sent to Amazon, reducing the risk of returns or negative customer feedback.
2. Shipment Creation and FBA Prep: You provide us with your shipment requirements, our team creates the shipment within Seller Central using our Amazon Partner account. We allocate the required units to the shipment and begin preparing your products.
Each unit is correctly labelled with an FNSKU where required. Products requiring additional protection, such as liquids, fragile items or products within specific categories, are polybagged or bubble wrapped.
3. Shipment Boxing: Your inventory is then packed into cartons that meet Amazon's requirements. Every unit is scanned into its allocated carton using our 2D barcode verification system, providing full accuracy throughout the process
Once complete, we apply the required 2D box labels and Amazon shipping labels, ensuring your shipment is ready for delivery to the fulfilment centre.
4. Shipping to Amazon FCs: We assess the most cost effective method of delivering your goods to Amazon fulfilment centres, whether through Small Parcel Delivery (SPD), Less Than Truckload (LTL), or Full Truckload (FTL).
Once the best shipping option has been selected, we arrange the collection and dispatch your goods to Amazon. You will then receive a notification confirming your shipment, along with a full shipment breakdown.
