PrepVia is a prep center and 3PL in Miami for wholesalers and distributors who move case packs, master cartons, pallets and containers into Amazon.
Every inbound is counted against the packing list and the BOL, and the count shows per product in the app. The stock is labeled by unit, case and pallet and shipped as LTL or FTL on Amazon's partnered carriers when Amazon offers them. Before you buy, the Analyzer in the PrepVia app reads your supplier's price list and shows profit and ROI per product, with your own PrepVia prep pricing. The best month on this dock moved 63,600 units, Fastical volume included; the peak week, 18,080 units in 15 shipments. This page covers the wholesale workflow; the 3PL for Amazon sellers page covers every segment.

What does wholesale FBA prep involve that parcel prep does not?
Four differences, each one a line on the quote and a record in the app.
Case quantities, not loose units
Inventory arrives in case packs and master cartons. The inbound is counted against the packing list, by unit where Amazon requires it, and the count shows per product in the app. Parcel prep counts one bag at a time.
Pallets and LTL, not parcel boxes
A wholesale inbound arrives on pallets or in a container and often leaves the same way, as LTL or FTL to Amazon. Pallet labels, a BOL and a carrier appointment are part of the job.
SKU count in the hundreds
A distributor catalog runs to hundreds of SKUs per account. Typing them from the supplier's invoice is where an inbound goes wrong before the truck even leaves.
Accountability on paper
The inbound keeps its BOL number, expected against received per product and the warehouse receipt in PDF. That is what an RFP asks for and what a reimbursement claim needs.
The step-by-step version, from purchase order to Amazon receiving status: the wholesale FBA prep workflow.

How does PrepVia receive pallets and containers?
What a wholesale buyer asks about receiving, written the way the dock runs it.
| Dock appointment | Pallets and containers are booked into one of 3 dock doors, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM ET. Send the BOL and the packing list before the truck leaves. |
|---|---|
| Count method | Real count of each inbound against the packing list and the BOL, shown per product in the app. Nothing is booked as said-to-contain. |
| Discrepancies | Shortages and overages show per product, as expected against received. You decide the next step before anything ships. |
| Container unloading | Palletized by SKU. Custom quote per container; floor-loaded containers are quoted by carton count before arrival. |
| In the app | Expected against received per product, and the warehouse receipt in PDF when the inbound closes. Prep runs within 24-36 hours of check-in. |
| Storage while it waits | Billed by the day on the space used. Inventory can drip-feed into Amazon on your schedule. |
Carrier and client pickup at the dock: Monday to Friday, 12 PM to 5 PM ET.
How are case packs, master cartons and pallets labeled?
Three label levels, one scan each, and the count carried from the carton to the BOL.
FNSKU on the unit
FNSKU labels, scan-verified before the carton closes.
Case pack labels on the carton
Case pack cartons get the FBA box label and the case quantity marked as Amazon requires. Mixed cartons get box content submitted through the API.
Pallet labels on every side
Each pallet is stretch-wrapped, built to Amazon's pallet rules and labeled on all four sides, as Amazon asks. The pallet count matches the BOL.
Expiration and prep rules per ASIN
Expiration dates, poly bags with suffocation warnings and bubble wrap are applied per ASIN, so a wholesale case does not turn into an inbound defect.
The prep for each ASIN, service by service: Expiration date labeling · Poly bagging · Bubble wrap
How does the shipment get to Amazon?
Created through PrepVia's own API, moved on Amazon partnered freight when Amazon offers it, and followed until Amazon closes it.
Step 1
Shipment created through our own API
PrepVia creates the inbound plan through its own SP-API integration, with box content per carton. Nobody retypes a case quantity in Seller Central.
Step 2
Placement picked by the team
The team picks the placement option Amazon returns for the shipment. To compare Amazon's placement fees for one product yourself, Plan a wave builds a real plan in your Amazon account.
Step 3
Amazon partnered LTL or FTL
When Amazon offers its partnered carrier for the placement, freight is booked on Amazon's program and billed to your seller account. When it does not, the shipment goes with a non-partnered carrier.
Step 4
Followed until Amazon closes it
In Send to Amazon, each request shows its stage, the FBA shipment ID and the fulfillment center. Receiving status comes through the API until Amazon closes the shipment.
When a pallet beats parcels, and when it does not: Amazon SPD vs LTL shipments. To stack your cartons on standard pallets before they ship, use the Pallet Builder calculator.
