Few centers in this directory state their Walmart positioning as plainly as Fast Prep USA, which brands its core service as FBA/WFS Prep, making it a clear pick for sellers shipping into Walmart Fulfillment Services. Founder Marat started it in 2020 after dealing with unreliable prep as an Amazon seller himself, and the operation now spans two locations: Fort Lauderdale, FL and a Libertyville, IL site opened in 2023. The center is FDA and HAZMAT certified, applies a 1.5x multiplier on hazmat and 2x on oversize or overweight items, and even offers buyback from US suppliers at 3%-plus as a sourcing adjacency. Prep runs $0.45 per unit at 1,000-plus units per ASIN, with a $100 minimum per shipment and FNSKU labeling included. It holds a 4.9 Google rating across 38 reviews and covers OA, RA, wholesale, and private label.
