Inventory Must Be Prepared Before It Reaches FBA

Amazon no longer offers prep and item labeling services for FBA shipments in the US store. Sellers must prepare inventory themselves or use a service provider before the products arrive at an Amazon fulfillment center.

VoltFreight can receive products in China, check the required instructions, complete agreed preparation work and then arrange the international shipment. Product barcode requirements can vary by SKU and account settings, so we apply or verify Amazon barcodes and FNSKU labels when required by the seller’s shipment plan.

Use cases

When Should You Use an FBA Prep Center in China?

A warehouse step is valuable when the cargo needs verification, correction or consolidation before it begins a costly international journey.

01

Your supplier cannot apply Amazon labels correctly

A factory may know the product but not the barcode, label placement and carton preparation instructions connected to your FBA shipment.

02

You are buying from multiple suppliers

Products can arrive at one China warehouse, be counted by supplier and SKU, then consolidated into a coordinated FBA shipment.

03

You need inspection before shipping

Check appearance, quantity, model, color, accessories, packaging or agreed basic functions before the products leave China.

04

Products have wrong labels or weak packaging

Incorrect FNSKU labels, exposed barcodes, damaged cartons or unsuitable retail packaging can be corrected before booking freight.

05

Your shipment contains several SKUs

SKU separation, carton configuration and final carton data need to match the shipment information supplied by the seller.

06

You want one partner for prep and freight

After preparation, the same team can compare express, air, sea and suitable door-to-door options for the assigned destination.

China FBA inspection

Choose the Right Inspection Level

Not every shipment needs the same level of checking. Select a practical scope based on product value, supplier history and the cost of a customer return.

Level 1

Receiving Check

For sellers who mainly need proof that the correct cartons reached the warehouse.

  • Carton count
  • Outer-carton condition
  • Supplier and SKU identification
  • Arrival photos
  • Obvious visible damage
Level 2

Sample Inspection

For established products where a defined sample can provide useful quality visibility.

  • Agreed sample quantity or percentage
  • Appearance and packaging
  • Color, size and model
  • Accessories and simple functions
  • Photo or video summary
Level 3

100% Unit Inspection

For higher-value products, inconsistent suppliers or inventory with greater return risk.

  • Each unit checked to the agreed scope
  • Defective products separated
  • Barcode or SKU verification
  • Repacking after inspection
  • Detailed result and quantity summary
Inspection scope: Tell us exactly what should be checked, the acceptable standard, the sample size and any required test method. Inspection reduces uncertainty but does not replace product certification, laboratory testing or the seller’s legal compliance responsibilities.
Problem handling

What Happens When We Find a Problem?

The purpose of a China prep center is not only to perform routine work. It is also to identify problems early enough for the seller to make a controlled decision.

No chargeable rework is performed without confirming the scope and cost with you.

Photograph or record the issue, affected quantity, SKU and visible condition.

02

Separate

Keep defective, incorrect or questionable products apart from approved inventory.

03

Report

Send the findings and practical options, such as relabeling, repacking or supplier return.

04

Proceed After Approval

Continue only after you confirm the solution, quantity, material and labor scope.

How Is China FBA Prep Pricing Calculated?

A realistic prep quote depends on the actual labor, material, SKU and inspection requirements. We do not use one fixed per-unit price for every product.

Packaging materials, special testing, carton replacement, pallet work, long-term storage and urgent handling are confirmed separately before processing.

Frequently asked questions

Amazon FBA Prep Service China FAQ

These answers cover the main questions sellers ask before sending inventory to a China prep center.

Ask About Your Shipment
What does an FBA prep center in China do?

A China FBA prep center receives inventory from suppliers and completes agreed work such as carton counting, product inspection, barcode labeling, polybagging, bundling, repacking, consolidation and final carton measurement before international shipping.

Can VoltFreight receive products from multiple Chinese suppliers?

Yes. Products from multiple factories or trading companies can be delivered to the warehouse, identified by supplier and SKU, counted and consolidated. Supplier pickup can also be reviewed and quoted according to the origin address and cargo details.

Can you apply FNSKU labels?

Yes, when the SKU and shipment plan require an Amazon barcode or FNSKU label. The seller must provide the correct final label file and matching SKU instructions. Manufacturer-barcode eligibility varies, so we do not assume every unit needs an FNSKU label.

Can you replace incorrect FBA labels in Shenzhen?

Yes. We can report incorrect or damaged labels, confirm the affected quantity and replace them after the seller supplies the correct file and approves the rework scope. Unwanted barcodes can also be covered when required by the confirmed instructions.

Can you inspect every product?

Yes, a 100% unit inspection can be arranged. The exact check points, acceptable standard, opening and repacking method, test procedure and treatment of defective units must be confirmed before work begins.

What happens if products fail inspection?

We document the problem, separate the affected products and send a report. You then decide whether to relabel, repack, repair where feasible, return products to the supplier, ship only the approved inventory or take another action. Chargeable rework starts only after approval.

Can you polybag, bundle and repack products?

Yes. Available work can include transparent polybags, required warning labels, bubble wrap, protective materials, multi-unit sets, accessories, approved inserts, retail-package correction and outer-carton replacement. Pricing depends on the material and labor required.

Can you prepare Amazon box and pallet labels?

We can print and apply the final label files supplied by the seller and check the visible carton or pallet data against the confirmed packing instructions. The seller must create the Amazon shipment and provide the correct shipment ID, warehouse information and generated labels.

Can you ship prepared cargo directly to Amazon FBA?

Yes. After preparation, VoltFreight can compare express courier, air freight, air DDP, sea LCL, sea FCL and suitable final-delivery solutions. Availability depends on the destination, product type, customs arrangement, shipment size and assigned fulfillment center.

How is FBA prep pricing calculated?

Pricing depends on the number of SKUs and units, inspection scope, label quantity, product size, packaging materials, kitting complexity, number of suppliers, carton or pallet work, storage and required completion date. A work-scope quotation is issued before processing.

How long does FBA preparation take?

Timing depends on cargo arrival, number of units and SKUs, inspection scope, required materials, label readiness and whether problems are found. A completion estimate can be confirmed after the goods and final instructions are reviewed.

What information is required for a quotation?

Send the product name and photos, SKU and unit quantity, supplier locations, carton details, required prep services, destination marketplace, cargo-ready date and any available FBA warehouse code or label files. Special-product information should be disclosed before booking.
