6 reasons why US Prep Center is key to the success of your e-commerce business
Running an e-commerce business is a multitude of tasks, and Prep Center can be a huge help. It takes care of receiving, inspecting and shipping of goods, saving you time and energy. At US Prep Centers, we handle the entire merchandise routine while you grow your business. Here are at minimum 6 reasons why our prep center is a great choice for reliable and convenient support:
1. Time Savings
In order to ship 1 item, you need to prepare the packaging, print the labels in the right format, stick the FNSKU sticker, check that there are no additional stickers not needed and only then you can ship the item. Depending on the volume of your sales, all this work can stretch from a few hours to days. US Prep Centers takes care of these tasks, allowing you to focus on growing your business instead of routine.
2. Professional Processing
Every marketplace has its own requirements for packaging goods. Prep Centers knows about it, tells you about it, and enforces packaging guidelines. You want to ship a glass ball – we’ll pack it in bubble wrap, add polystyrene to the box and put caution stickers on it. Want to ship chocolate – we’ll select heavy paper that is air permeable, doesn’t create additional temperature rise and as a bonus, gives a kraft look to your goods. Want to send shampoo and conditioner as a set – we’ll use a shrink machine to seal the items in foil and attach additional stickers about the set. We know everything about packaging and are willing to share that knowledge in the process.
3. Special equipment for work
If you do not have a large volume of goods – you can store it on the balcony or in the guest room. But there is no guarantee that the goods will not overheat or spoil. There are no such problems in the prep centers. The loading and unloading process uses forklifts or rockers to ensure that your goods are not damaged on arrival. The warehouses are climate controlled and have cold rooms for food products. Machines for packaging, thermal printers, labeling machines and many other equipment you do not need to buy, as it is already available at the prep center. You just need to make the right decision and choose a good prep center.
4. Save on storage
If you are working with Amazon, you must have already faced seasonal prices, storage fees and extra charges for large item size, weight or volume. US Prep Centers offers a flat rate for storing your items all year round and despite the size, weight or bulk of the items you only pay for the space your item takes up.
5. More space at home
Forget about boxes filling up your living room! Prep Center will take care of storing and handling items outside of your home, preserving more space and work-life balance.
6. Multi-Channel Sales
If you work with US Prep Centers – you can choose which model you want to work with Amazon – FBM or FBA, you can do shipments to customers from TikTok shop or sell on Eatsy. Consolidation of goods in one place will allow you to easily plan your sales and keep track of your inventory. And a personal manager will help you understand the intricacies of packaging and storage.
So, US Prep Centers is an easy way to optimize your business, save time and grow. It’s a smart choice for any e-commerce business looking to grow without the hassle. Ready to take your sales to the next level – fill out an application and let’s get started!
