FAQ

Shipment process

How quickly will you ship my products out?

Your products will ship out of our warehouse to Amazon fulfillment centers within several days provided you have entered your order into Preptopia, the warehouse has the information needed to complete the work and your Seller Central inventory is updated and accurate.

Will you create my Amazon shipping plans and print Amazon shipping labels for me?

Yes! Our platform communicates with the Seller Central API to create shipments and our warehouses will access Seller Central to retreive labels and complete other steps as required by Amazon. In some cases, customers choose to manage this process themselves or we ask them to do so due to the nature of their business, inventory or processes.

How do you ship my products to Amazon warehouses?

FULFILLMENT 101 utilizes Amazon couriers to send out your products, which means lower cost shipping to you! Cost of shipping will be deducted from your account within Seller Central. For Hazmat shipments, our warehouses will assume the cost of shipping, which will be included in the costs for the relevant order and on your FULFILLMENT 101 invoice.
