How it works · for sellers

From one request to the right prep partner.

Tell us about your shipment once. Matching prep partners respond with real receiving capacity, and you choose who handles it - no spreadsheets, no cold calls.

Two ways to start

Browse first, or request first

Browse first

Explore the network, then request

Open the directory or map, pick a partner you like, and start a request straight from them - even if they're not a perfect match. The steps below are the same from there.

Request first

Describe it, let matches come to you

Describe your shipment once and we surface the prep partners that fit - review the matches and send to one or more.

1

Describe your shipment

Enter products, quantities, where inventory ships from, and how it arrives - as a guest, no account needed to draft.

2

Tell us where it's going - FBA, WFS, DTC, or returns

Send to Amazon FBA or Walmart WFS, ship to your own DTC customers, or handle returns and removals - pick a destination or region, or leave it open and we'll match broad-coverage partners.

Browse prep partners or get matched automatically

What the marketplace does - and doesn't - do

PrepMarketplace introduces sellers to prep, receiving, and forwarding partners - and when you're importing, matches on which partners can arrange customs clearance. Pricing, payment, shipment handling, and the prep work itself are arranged directly between you and the prep partner. We help you find the right fit; we don't manage the job.
