Blue30 was started by ecommerce sellers Alan and Kachun, who ran their own Amazon businesses before launching the prep centre, so the operation is shaped by people who have done the work themselves. Based in Rochford, Essex, it reports supporting over 250 clients globally and runs a branded Control Portal WMS with 400-plus integrations and 85-plus reporting dashboards for visibility into stock and orders. The service range is wide: FNSKU labeling, polybagging, suffocation labels, bundling and kitting, item reworks, and hazmat handling, plus ISO container unloading and devanning for importers and Amazon Pan-EU shipping. Pricing starts from £0.25 per unit with storage from £0.36 a day and pallet shipping from £55, and bespoke quotes are available with volume discounts. It holds a 4.8 Google rating across 22 reviews. A solid fit for sellers who import containers and need hazmat-capable prep.
