Fast and Forward Prep Center
Fast and Forward Prep Center solves a problem most prep centers cannot: temperature-sensitive inventory. Its California facility is temperature-controlled year-round, and its primary New Port Richey, Florida location accepts temperature-sensitive items seasonally from October 20 through February. That cold-storage capability sets it apart for sellers moving chocolate, supplements, cosmetics, or other heat-vulnerable goods. The two locations handle Amazon FBA, Walmart, eBay, Shopify, and TikTok Shop, with FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bundling, QC, custom packaging and inserts, light assembly, returns, and storage. Pricing is a la carte, $0.90 to $2.50 per unit for FBA prep depending on tier, storage at $0.90 per cubic foot, and returns at $2.00 per unit. There is a one-time $100 deposit and a $30 setup fee rather than a monthly subscription. New sellers are explicitly welcomed with no order minimum except a 500-unit wholesale tier. Google rating: 3.9 from 28 reviews.
