DSR Prep is a small owner-operated shop in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the per-unit rates are published right on the homepage: $0.50 per unit for FBA and $1.00 per unit for FBM. That transparency is the draw for online and retail arbitrage and wholesale sellers who want to know the number before they reach out. The contact runs through a personal Outlook address and a 704 area-code line, reinforcing the hands-on, single-location feel. Core prep covers receiving, inspection, FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, suffocation labels, and box content labels, and storage is tiered from free up to $25 a month. Custom boxing comes in three named sizes, small at 8 by 6 by 4 inches up to large at 16 by 12 by 8 inches. The center is accepting new clients and also handles direct-to-consumer pick and pack.
What sets them apart

- Phone number is (704) 308-5069, area code 704 = Charlotte, NC metro area, consistent with the NC state hint.
- Contact email is DSRPrep@outlook.com - an Outlook personal address, suggesting a small owner-operated shop rather than an enterprise.
