Nothing but praise for Portland Prep Center. So grateful to have a reliable prep center partner on our side as we build our FBA business. They are responsive, professional and absolutely reliable if we have a minor issue or if I have a question. I sleep well knowing that a key component of our business is handled. In fact I would say they are a big part of the success we have had so far.

"Porltand Prep Center has allowed me to grow my Amazon business to almost 7 figures while still working a full time job. They have been great to work with and I have had nothing but good experiences. Their online portal is also very easy to use and efficient."

Jake
We've been with Portland Prep Center for over a year and have loved their service! After having worked with a few different prep centers, Portland Prep Center is by far my top recommendation when anyone asks. Competitive prep prices, fast shipping times, reliable customer service and they're housed in a tax free state - everything you want in a prep center!

"The folks at Portland Prep Center are second to none, I have not had a single experience that was less that exceptional. The online portal is incredibly simple to use and very efficient which in my opinion just feels so natural to integrate into your sourcing."
WHY JOIN US?
THERE IS NO "I" IN TEAM.
We realize logistics is an important component to your business, and we take this seriously. Communication, handling and shipping your products is done with speed, care, and a proven process.
YOUR PRODUCTS TO AMAZON, FASTER. EVERYDAY.
Get your products shipped fast after they are delivered to our warehouse. Shipments are created after 20 units can be shipped to Amazon. For example, for larger sellers shipping more than 20 units you would experience daily shipments to Amazon. Our process helps you beat the competition in case a listing does become saturated with sellers.
COORDINATION. COMMUNICATION. WIN.
Communication as a team in any sport is paramount to taking home victory. We want your business to find victory every day, and to do this we find solid communication as a team is key to winning. We fix problems with haste and our processes can save you money with common unforseen Amazon issues. We double-check your Amazon listings for the correct product when it is checked into prep at our facility, saving you time and eventually money if the product is returned.
