Over the last few years, we have found that the key to a successful Amazon FBA business is to manage your own prep and processing before sending items to Amazon FBA or Walmart Fulfillment Services for free nationwide 2-day shipping. However, currently the existing workflows provided by Amazon and Walmart are not designed for speed and accuracy and are rudimentary at best. They require copious amounts of time to take simple steps such as printing labels, and supplying shipment plan information, which should only take you a few seconds.
Currently your only other default option is to use the default prep services offered to you by Amazon or Walmart, or by using a 3rd party prep house to manage labeling and prep for you. You can pay them a per unit fee, plus other fees, and they will manage all prep and labeling for you.
Did you know that it could be costing you almost $3.00 per unit or more in just prep and labeling fees to pass this along to a third party?
We have come to see a high rate of inaccuracy and mislabeling mistakes that occur with outsourcing prep and labeling. To compound that cost, any mislabeling mistakes will balloon that cost even more when you roll in the increased strain on your customer service. Not many sellers realize the impact on customer service and customer experience when they elect to outsource their own prep and labeling. If this sounds familiar, then you know just how much time you spend on customer service with just a single mislabeling mistake by any prep service, including your own.
Using a prep management tool such as Fillify can drastically reduce prep errors and mistakes with easy to use software and intuitive workflows. Managing and sending 50,000+ individual units a week to your 3rd party fulfillment channels is a breeze with Fillify.
