Amazon FBA prep & forwarding

FBA prep center in China for Amazon sellers

Prep your Amazon inventory where it is manufactured. Apex Hub inspects, labels and packs your FBA shipments in China, then forwards them directly to US fulfillment centers — cutting out US prep fees, double freight and weeks of delay.

Why prep your FBA shipments in China?

Most Amazon sellers route their inventory through a US prep center: factory, export, US warehouse, prep, then another truck to Amazon. Every extra stop adds fees, handling risk and days of lead time.

Prepping in China removes that entire leg. Your products travel from the factory to our facility, are inspected and prepped to Amazon’s requirements, and ship straight to the fulfillment centers assigned in your shipping plan. Sellers switching from US-based prep typically cut prep and freight costs by 30–50% per unit.

One partner from factory to FC

Because we also handle warehousing and private label packaging, your sourcing, quality control and FBA prep happen under one roof, with one point of contact and full visibility on costs in USD.

Our FBA prep services

Inspection before prep

Every batch is checked before labeling, so defective units never reach Amazon. This protects your account health, your reviews and your return rate.

FNSKU labeling

Scannable FNSKU barcodes applied to every unit, covering or replacing the manufacturer barcode as required.

Poly bagging & bubble wrap

Compliant poly bags with suffocation warnings, bubble wrap for fragile items, and protective packaging that passes Amazon’s receiving checks.

Bundling & multipacks

Kitting, bundles and multipack assembly with “sold as set” labeling, built to your listing specifications.

Carton prep & forwarding

Carton labels, box content information, weight and dimension compliance, then direct forwarding to the fulfillment centers in your shipping plan — by express, air or sea freight with customs handled.

Shipping prepped inventory to the USA

We ship FBA-ready cartons to the United States by express courier (around 5 days), air freight (7–10 days) or sea freight (30–40 days) depending on your margins and restock timeline. All shipments include tracking and customs clearance, and we help you plan around Amazon’s receiving windows to avoid stranded inventory.

Selling in Europe too? The same prepped inventory can be forwarded to Amazon EU or UK fulfillment centers, or stored in our China warehouse and released in batches as you need them.

Who this service is for

Our FBA prep service is built for private label sellers, wholesale sellers and brands sourcing in China that ship consistent volumes to Amazon US — typically from a few hundred units per month up to full containers. If you currently pay a US prep center per unit, moving prep to origin is usually the single biggest logistics saving available.

Also running your own store? We combine FBA prep with direct-to-customer fulfillment from the same inventory pool.
