Facilities in the Garden State specialize in preparing goods for sale on Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) platform. These operations receive, inspect, label, package, and ship products to Amazon fulfillment centers on behalf of third-party sellers. An example would be a business importing goods from overseas utilizing such a facility to ensure compliance with Amazon’s stringent requirements before sending the inventory to Amazon’s warehouses.
Using a specialized preparation service provides several advantages to businesses. These include reduced overhead costs, improved efficiency, and minimized errors in the fulfillment process. The historical context involves the growth of e-commerce and the increasing complexity of Amazon’s FBA program, leading to a need for specialized services. As more sellers joined Amazon, the demand for efficient and compliant product preparation grew, fostering the development of these centers.
