Amazon FBA Fees vs Pick Pack Pro Prep Costs
Choosing the right Amazon FBA prep solution can have a significant impact on your margins. While Amazon charges fulfilment and storage fees, a specialist UK Amazon prep centre helps reduce preparation costs, improve inventory visibility and ensure your products arrive fulfilment-ready. The comparison below highlights the key differences between Amazon's fulfilment network and Pick Pack Pro's transparent FBA prep services.
| Cost factor | Amazon FBA | Pick Pack Pro prep |
|---|---|---|
| FBA Prep & Labelling | Amazon self-service prep has ended in the UK. Products must arrive fully prepared before reaching the fulfilment centre. | From £0.30 per unit at volume, including FNSKU labelling, polybagging and bundling. |
| Storage Fees | Monthly storage charges, peak season surcharges and long-term storage fees may apply. | Pay only for the storage you use, with pallet storage from £5.99 per pallet/week and no long-term storage penalties. |
| Inbound & Check-In | Split shipments, appointment delays and rejected deliveries can increase costs. | Products are fully prepared before dispatch, reducing rejections and helping stock check in faster. |
| Visibility & Inventory Control | Limited visibility once inventory enters Amazon's fulfilment network. | Real-time WMS visibility, stock tracking and optional product photographs before shipment. |
| Multi-Channel Fulfilment | Inventory is primarily allocated to Amazon unless removed, which may incur removal fees. | Use the same inventory across Amazon FBA, Seller Fulfilled Prime, Shopify, TikTok Shop and other sales channels. |
| Typical Landed Cost | Fulfilment, storage and removal costs can exceed £2–£4+ per unit, depending on product size and storage duration. | Predictable prep costs from approximately £0.35–£0.45 per unit, plus your chosen shipping service. |

FBA prep pricing FAQs
Common questions about prep centre fees, how we calculate costs and how we compare to Amazon FBA — including July 2026 Amazon prep changes.
What's included in FBA prep pricing?
Every tier includes goods-in receiving, quality inspection, FNSKU labelling, free box forwarding and shipping label charges. Add-ons such as polybagging (+£0.05/unit), bundling (+£0.05/unit), bubble wrap (+£0.10/unit combined), returns processing (£0.50/unit) and pallet storage (£5.99/pallet/week) are itemised separately so you see exactly what you pay for.
How do you calculate FBA prep costs?
Costs are based on monthly prep volume (Silver 1–1,999 units at £0.40, Gold 2,000–4,999 at £0.35, Platinum 5,000+ at £0.30 per unit) plus any add-on services per SKU. Use our live calculator to input volume, product type and services — you get an instant line-by-line breakdown before requesting a formal quote.
How does Pick Pack Pro prep pricing compare to competitors?
We publish tier rates upfront with no hidden receiving fees, account charges or long lock-ins. Many UK prep centres quote “from” prices without add-ons; our calculator shows the full landed prep cost including polybagging and bundling. Volume tiers reward growth — at 5,000+ units you pay £0.30/unit base versus £0.40 at entry level.
What are typical FBA costs vs using a prep centre?
Amazon FBA charges storage, fulfilment and (historically) prep fees on top of referral commissions. With Amazon ending self-serve prep in the UK, sellers face vendor prep costs or DIY time. A specialist prep centre typically costs £0.30–£0.50/unit for labelling and compliance — often less than FC rejection rework, removal orders or long-term storage penalties on slow-moving stock.
Do prep centre fees include shipping to Amazon FCs?
Prep fees cover receiving, inspection and labelling at our Milton Keynes warehouse. Cartonisation, pallet build and carrier booking to Amazon fulfilment centres are quoted separately based on shipment size (SPD vs LTL). Box forwarding and shipping label charges for inbound cartons are included in the tier rate card.
Can I get a custom quote for high-volume or hazmat prep?
Yes. For 5,000+ units, mixed-SKU batches, oversized items, hazmat or complex bundling, contact us with your ASIN list and inbound plan. We align a bespoke rate card to your SOPs — same transparent methodology as the calculator, with account manager support included in every tier.
