Why do Amazon FBA prep fees get expensive quickly?

Amazon's FBA Prep Service UK charges a flat fee per unit, calculated by:

• Product size tier: Envelope, Parcel, Oversize
• Prep category: Liquids, Fragile/Glass, Clothing/Fabric, Baby, Powders, etc.
• Labelling: If Amazon applies the FNSKU, they add a separate label fee per unit.

The main downsides of these fees:

• Do not decrease with your volume.
• Apply for every single unit that Amazon has to prep.
• Are decided solely by Amazon based on their internal classification.

For a seller sending hundreds or thousands of units per month, this becomes a major cost line that eats directly into profit margins.

How Fast Prep Center UK prices FBA prep

We use a transparent, volume-based pricing model designed specifically for Amazon FBA sellers in the UK. You select your average monthly volume, and each operation has a clear price.

Volume Tiers

• 0–100 units/month
• 101–500 units/month
• 501–1000 units/month
• 1001–2000 units/month

As you move up the tiers, your per-unit prep cost drops automatically.

When to choose Fast Prep UK instead of Amazon?

Choosing a specialist FBA prep centre is usually the best option when:

• You ship more than just a few occasional boxes to Amazon FBA.
• Your products regularly need labelling, polybagging, bubble wrap or bundling.
• You buy from UK distributors and want a partner to inspect, prep, and forward.
• You care about ROI and Buy Box competitiveness (lower costs = better prices).
• You want transparent, itemised pricing instead of flat FBA fees.

Using Fast Prep Center UK for Amazon FBA prep in the UK is usually significantly cheaper, more transparent, and operationally more efficient than relying on Amazon's own FBA Prep Service.
