Why prep Amazon inventory in Houston instead of on a coast
Geography does a lot of quiet work in fulfillment, and Houston’s is hard to beat. We sit 40 minutes from the Port of Houston, so a container that clears customs isn’t paying for a multi-day inland haul before anyone touches it. The drayage run is short, and short drayage runs are cheap.
Then there’s the outbound math. Houston sits near the center of the country on I-10, I-45, and I-69, which is why ground shipping from our dock reaches most of the US in 2 days. From a coastal warehouse, that same middle-of-America delivery often takes an extra day or two on the truck.
The Gulf also spares you a headache the West Coast can’t. When LA and Long Beach back up, and most peak seasons they do, containers sit at anchor collecting delays before anyone unloads them. The Port of Houston runs with far less congestion, which means your Q4 inventory actually arrives in Q4.
One honest caveat. If your supplier manufactures in New Jersey and everything moves by small parcel, an East Coast prep center probably beats us on inbound freight. Houston wins hardest for imports through the Gulf, for Texas sellers, and for anyone who wants fast, cheap ground coverage of the whole country from one building.
Who ships to our Houston prep center
Three kinds of sellers use this building. Each one uses it differently, and all three pay the same published rates.
- Local Houston and Texas sellers. You drive over, drop pallets or boxes at the dock, and meet the people who’ll label your goods. Plenty of local sellers signed on after a 20-minute walk of the floor. Some still visit monthly. Most stop needing to once they’ve watched a few receiving counts match their invoices.
- Wholesale FBA sellers routing distributor POs. Put 6003 Bellaire Blvd Ste K on the ship-to line of your distributor purchase order. We receive the freight, count it against the PO, inspect it, prep it, and forward it to Amazon. You never touch a box, and you see every unit land in the WMS the day it arrives.
- Importers. Your container comes off the ship at the Port of Houston, a drayage carrier runs it 40 minutes to our dock, and we break it down. Palletized or floor-loaded, it gets counted, inspected, and checked in. If you’re consolidating in China first, our how to judge a prep center at small-seller scale. The short answer: demand published rates and a door you can knock on.
Inside the 32,000 sq ft facility on Bellaire Blvd
The building is 32,000 square feet, climate and humidity controlled throughout, and monitored 24/7. Climate control isn’t a luxury in this city. Gulf humidity warps boxboard, wrinkles FNSKU labels, and quietly ruins supplements, cosmetics, and anything with cardboard retail packaging, so we condition the entire space, racked storage included.
The floor is zoned the way freight actually flows. Receiving docks feed an inspection and count area, which feeds the prep stations, then racked storage and outbound staging. Every carton gets scanned into the WMS at receiving, so your dashboard shows live counts, not yesterday’s spreadsheet.
This page is about the building. The prep work itself, FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bundling, cartonization, is covered in detail on our the difference between a prep center and a fulfillment center in plain terms.
Mostly, though, come see it. Tours run Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm CT. Call (832) 759-1368 ahead so we can actually walk you through the floor instead of waving from behind a half-unloaded 40-footer.
How it works
- Request a quote. Tell us what you sell, roughly how many units, and where the inventory is coming from. We answer within 24 hours with real numbers.
- Onboard in 5 to 7 business days. We connect your channels to our WMS, Amazon, Shopify, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, whatever you sell on, and send your inbound instructions.
- Send inventory. Drop it off yourself, route a distributor PO to our address, or send a container up from the port. Receiving is free at 50+ pallets, and new clients get 15 days of free storage.
- We receive, count, and prep. FBA shipments in before 2pm CT get prepped the same day. Discrepancies get photographed and flagged before anything ships, not after.
- Track it to Amazon. We cartonize, build the shipment plan, and hand it to the carrier. You watch every unit move in real time.
What’s included vs what costs extra
The $1.00 per unit rate is all-in, and we mean the nickel-and-dime stuff too. Plenty of prep centers advertise a low base rate, then bill polybags, bubble wrap, and “handling” as separate line items. We don’t. Here’s the exact split.
Included in the published rates
- Receiving, counting, and inspection
- FNSKU labeling
- Polybagging with suffocation labels
- Bubble wrap and bundling
- Cartonization and shipment building
- Free packing materials and branded tracking on FBM orders
- No setup fee, no monthly platform fee, no order minimums, no peak-season surcharges
- Free inbound receiving at 50+ pallets, and 15 days of free storage for new clients
Billed separately, at published rates
- Storage: $25 per pallet, billed biweekly, which works out to about $50 per pallet per month
- FBM and multichannel fulfillment: $2.75 per order pick-pack-ship for items up to 5 lb
- Postage and freight: billed at carrier cost, no markup
- Unusual projects like custom kitting or special materials: quoted in writing first. Nothing lands on your invoice without written approval. Ever.

Frequently asked questions
Can I tour the prep center before signing up?
Yes, and we’d rather you did. We’re open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm CT, at 6003 Bellaire Blvd Ste K, Houston, TX 77081. Call (832) 759-1368 first so we can plan a proper walkthrough of receiving, prep, and storage.
What does the $1.00 per unit FBA prep rate include?
Everything: receiving, counting, inspection, FNSKU labeling, polybagging with suffocation labels, bubble wrap, bundling, and cartonization. There’s no separate line item for any of it. The rate is locked through Q1 2027.
Do you have order minimums or monthly fees?
No. There’s no setup fee, no monthly platform fee, and no order minimums. If you send us 40 units this month, you pay for 40 units of prep and nothing else.
How fast will my inventory turn around?
FBA shipments that arrive before 2pm CT get prepped the same day, and FBM orders dispatch next day. We don’t add peak-season surcharges in Q4. Large floor-loaded containers naturally take longer to break down than palletized freight, and we’ll tell you that upfront rather than blow a promise.
How does receiving work for a container from the Port of Houston?
Your drayage carrier delivers to our dock at 6003 Bellaire Blvd, about 40 minutes from the port. We count against the packing list, inspect for damage, photograph anything off, and check every unit into the WMS so you see it in real time. Receiving is free at 50 or more pallets.
What happens if something arrives damaged or gets mislabeled?
Damage gets photographed and flagged at receiving, before prep, so you can decide what to do while there’s still time to act. If a labeling error is ours, we re-label at no charge. Nothing extra ever hits your invoice without written approval.
I’m not in Texas. Does a Houston prep center still make sense?
Often, yes. Most of our 300+ sellers never visit; they route distributor POs or import containers here because Houston reaches most of the US by 2-day ground. If your inventory originates on a coast and ships small parcel, a prep center near your supplier may beat us on inbound freight, and we’ll say so when you ask for a quote.
Do you handle more than Amazon FBA?
Yes. We fulfill FBM plus Shopify, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Magento at $2.75 per order pick-pack-ship for items up to 5 lb. Storage runs $25 per pallet billed biweekly, climate and humidity controlled.
Come see the building, then decide
The pitch, minus the pitch: a 32,000 sq ft climate-controlled facility 40 minutes from the Port of Houston, rates published and locked through Q1 2027, and a standing rule that no fee appears without your written approval. 300+ ecommerce sellers run inventory across this floor. Ops questions get answered within 4 business hours, because slow answers are how units end up sitting on docks.
