MI FBA Prep takes an unusual stance for trust: founder Venera Allen states that no one on the team owns or runs an Amazon business, a deliberate choice meant to keep sellers' product ideas from being poached. The Lapeer, Michigan facility sits within an hour of both Flint Bishop and Detroit Metro airports, and the team brings a combined 20-plus years in shipping and packaging. This is a focused Amazon FBA shop working with online arbitrage, wholesale, private label, and import sellers, and it is upfront about its limits: it does not accept retail arbitrage or liquidation products and does not work with book sellers. Standard prep runs $0.90 per unit, dropping to $0.85 past 1,000 units, with itemized add-ons for polybagging, bubble wrap, oversized boxes, bundling, and pallet prep. There is a one-time $25 account opening fee, and the first 14 days of storage are included.
