Amazon offers a service called FBA Prep, where they handle the necessary preparation of your products to meet their fulfillment center requirements. The cost of this service varies depending on the type of preparation needed for each item. As of my last update in April 2023, here’s a general overview of the fees associated with Amazon’s FBA Prep Service:

Standard Size Items:

  • Labeling: $0.30 per item.
  • Polybagging: $0.80 per item.
  • Bubble wrapping: $0.80 per item.
  • Taping: $0.40 per item.
  • Black shrinkwrap: $0.80 per item.

Oversize Items:

  • Labeling: $0.30 per item.
  • Polybagging: $1.50 per item.
  • Bubble wrapping: $1.50 per item.
  • Taping: $0.60 per item.
  • Black shrinkwrap: $1.50 per item.

Other Services:

  • Adult Bagging (for adult products): $0.80 per unit for standard-size items and $1.50 for oversize items.
  • Opaque Bagging (for privacy items): Similar pricing to adult bagging.

These fees are in addition to any other FBA fees, like monthly storage fees and fulfillment fees, which vary based on the size and weight of the product and the time of year.

Keep in mind, prices can change, so it’s always a good idea to check the most current rates directly on Amazon’s official website or within your Seller Central account. This will ensure you have the latest information for budgeting your FBA costs effectively.
