FBA prep pricing UK — why we built Profit-Grid pricing model
Most FBA prep pricing hides the real unit economics. We built the Profit-Grid so you can see your exact prep cost per SKU, just like you would in a high-end in-house warehouse, without paying for rent, idle staff or overhead.
Every operation is priced per unit (receiving, FNSKU labelling, polybagging, bundling, pallet prep), and your live shared spreadsheet shows running totals, shipment status and receiving confirmation.
Your decisions stop being guesses. They’re tied to real numbers, per product, per task.
Why this helps sellers who want to scale (and make more profit)
Precision pricing replaces averages with exact costs per SKU and task. When you know the real numbers, you make decisions that increase margin, speed up inventory turnover, and reduce waste.1. Price with confidence
You know the true prep cost per SKU, so you can set profitable prices and solid repricer floors. No more loss-making orders disguised as “good volume” during price wars.
2. Scale winners, cut margin-killers
Itemised costs highlight SKUs that are expensive to prep (heavy polybagging, fragile wrapping, awkward formats). You double down on the winners and fix or retire the products that quietly eat margin.
3. Faster cash cycle, more stock turns
Predictable prep windows plus transparent costs mean a shorter time-to-live at Amazon FCs. More rotations = earlier cash back = more reinvestment. That’s how growth compounds.
4. Profit-aware ads and promos
With real landed cost, you judge TACoS/ROAS against true margin, not rough estimates. You stop bidding on SKUs that can’t be profitable and run promotions only where the unit economics make sense.
5. Cheaper, cleaner shipping decisions
Per-operation visibility makes it easy to choose parcel vs pallet, right-sized cartons and materials. Less dimensional weight, fewer damages, lower delivery fees — direct margin back to you.
6. Better forecasting & cash-flow planning
Clear unit economics make reorder points, safety stock and launch dates more accurate. One monthly invoice at the start of the month, with a 7-day payment window, keeps outgoings predictable.
7. Leverage with suppliers
When you know exactly how much prep effort each SKU needs, you can ask suppliers for pre-labelling/bundling or negotiate a better buy price. Real data makes those conversations simple.
