What Happens to Your Inventory After It Arrives
Quick turnaround isn't a marketing line. It's our promise.
Your shipment lands at our Delta, BC warehouse, where the receiving team logs inventory into the WMS, checks unit counts against the PO, and flags damage, shortages, or exceptions before prep begins.
From there, products move through the required prep steps: FNSKU labeling, polybagging with suffocation warnings where needed, bubble wrap for fragile items, overboxing where Amazon requires extra protection, carton checks, and pallet preparation for inbound shipment.
If you sell multipacks or bundles, Evolution can assemble those as single sellable units with the correct labels and packaging instructions. The goal is simple: inventory should leave the warehouse ready for Amazon receiving, with fewer avoidable delays, corrections, or surprise fees.

Amazon Killed Its Own Prep Service. Now What?
On July 28, 2025, Amazon announced it would discontinue all FBA prep and labeling services effective January 1, 2026. That means every seller who relied on Amazon to polybag, label, or bundle their inventory now needs an outside partner — or needs to do it themselves.
This affects roughly 1.9 million active sellers worldwide. The ones who waited until Q4 2025 to find a prep center found most reputable facilities already at capacity.
If you’re reading this, you’re either already feeling the impact or you’re planning ahead. Either way, the math is simple: find a prep partner with enough space and enough experience to handle your volume without delays. We process thousands of units daily across 135,000 sq ft. We have room.

Every Step of FBA Prep, Handled
Receiving & Inspection
Your inventory arrives at our Delta, BC facility. We count units against the purchase order, log exceptions, and identify visible damage or shortages before prep starts.
FNSKU Labeling and Barcoding
We print and apply scannable FNSKU labels based on the prep plan so units, cartons, or bundles can be matched correctly during receiving.
Product Protection
Polybagging, suffocation warnings, bubble wrap, overboxing, and other protective steps are matched to the product category and Amazon requirements.
Bundling & Kitting
Multipacks, variety packs, gift sets, and bundles can be assembled as single sellable units with the correct label and bundle identification.
Shipment Optimization
Evolution helps prepare cartons, pallets, and shipment details so inventory can move through the inbound workflow with fewer avoidable corrections.
Amazon FBA Prep for Canadian and US Sellers
For Canadian sellers:
Ship your inventory from anywhere in Canada to our Delta, BC warehouse. Because your goods never cross the border, you skip customs duties, brokerage fees, and the 2–5 day delays that come with cross-border freight. You get billed in Canadian dollars — no exchange rate surprises when the CAD fluctuates against the USD.
Delta is 20 minutes from the Peace Arch border crossing and about 30 km from the Port of Vancouver. If your products arrive by container from Asia, we can receive them directly from port through our transloading services and move them straight into FBA prep — no extra warehouse stop.

For US sellers:
Ship to our warehouse near Seattle, WA. Same prep quality, same processes, billed in US dollars. Your inventory stays domestic the entire time, which means no customs paperwork and faster inbound to Amazon’s US fulfillment centers.
If you sell on both Amazon.ca and Amazon.com, we coordinate prep and shipment from the warehouse closest to each marketplace. That’s the advantage of having facilities on both sides of the border — your cross-border shipping stays simple.
Original mentioned the dual billing and no-customs benefits but buried them in generic language. This version leads with the specific pain points (duties, brokerage, delays), names the border crossing and port, and links to transloading and cross-border shipping pages. Real operational detail that competitors lack.

FBA Removal Orders — Get Inventory Out Before Fees Stack Up
Let us take on the hassle of removing orders from Amazon.
Amazon charges aged inventory surcharges starting at 180 days, and the fees climb fast after 365 days. If you’ve got slow-moving SKUs or returned units sitting in FBA, removal orders are how you stop the bleeding.
Here’s how it works with us: Amazon ships your removal order to our Delta, BC facility. We receive it, inspect every unit, and sort it into three categories:
Re-prep and reship — Units in sellable condition get re-labeled, repackaged, and sent back to Amazon or held for your next inbound shipment.
Redirect — Send inventory to your B2B wholesale channel or D2C storefront instead of back to Amazon. Sometimes a product sells better outside the marketplace.
Liquidate — For units that aren’t worth re-prepping, we help you move them through liquidation channels.
We handle the freight coordination on removals too. Our carrier relationships keep per-unit removal costs lower than what most sellers pay when managing this themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Amazon Fulfillment Services
What is FBA prep, and why can’t I just ship directly to Amazon?
FBA prep is the labeling, packaging, carton, and shipment work needed before inventory is accepted by Amazon receiving. Some sellers can ship directly, but errors with FNSKU labels, polybags, carton details, or category prep can delay receiving or create added work.
How much does FBA prep cost?
FBA prep cost depends on unit volume, SKU count, product category, labeling, bagging, bundling, carton, pallet, storage, and removal-order requirements. Evolution provides line-item quotes so sellers can see the prep work required before inventory is released.
How fast do you process FBA shipments?
Keep the current 48-hour standard turnaround if operationally accurate. Add that timing depends on receiving volume, SKU count, prep type, exception rate, and shipment release requirements.
Can you prep inventory for both Amazon.ca and Amazon.com?
Yes, where the shipment plan, marketplace requirements, customs details, and carrier route are confirmed. Evolution supports Canadian and US seller workflows from its Delta, BC operation and related North American fulfillment network.
Do you handle Amazon FBA removal orders in Canada?
Yes. Evolution can receive FBA removal orders, inspect returned inventory, sort sellable and unsellable units, and prepare the next step. Depending on the product condition and seller plan, inventory can be re-prepped for Amazon, moved into storage, redirected to another channel, or prepared for disposal or liquidation.
What happens if Amazon changes its prep requirements?
They change them regularly — Amazon updates FBA policies multiple times per year. We’ve operated since 2013, which means we’ve adapted through every major shift, including the move to FNSKU-only labeling, the inbound placement fee rollout, and the January 2026 discontinuation of Amazon’s own prep service. When requirements change, we update our SOPs and notify affected clients.
Do you handle removal orders from Amazon?
Yes. We receive your removal shipments, inspect every unit, and either re-prep for reshipment, redirect to other sales channels, or manage liquidation. Details on our removal services page.
Do you work with both Seller Central and Vendor Central accounts?
Yes. We prep for standard FBA (Seller Central) and manage Vendor Central shipment requirements, which have different labeling and carton packing specs.
