FBA Indiana Prep works out of 525 N Meridian St in Portland, Indiana, a small Jay County city that gives Amazon sellers a low-overhead Midwest distribution point. The operation started in online sales and logistics in 2000, then narrowed to Amazon FBA prep specialization in 2013, so it carries over a decade of FBA-specific experience. Pricing is a la carte and volume-tiered: private label and wholesale runs $1.20 per unit up to 500 units and drops to $0.60 past 5,000 units a month, while online arbitrage starts at $1.40 and reaches $0.90 at the same volume. Storage is $0.50 per cubic foot per month. Clients track inventory through a Zenventory login portal, and the center asks for 72 hours notice before receiving shipments. It holds a 3.7 Google rating across 3 reviews and serves online arbitrage, wholesale, and private label sellers on Amazon FBA.
