Despite the name, New York FBA Prep runs out of Easton, Pennsylvania, with a second warehouse in Santa Fe Springs, California, so sellers get coverage on both coasts under one brand. The operation has been going since 2017 and is selective about who it works with: it states plainly that it does not take on online arbitrage or dropshipping accounts, focusing instead on wholesale, private label, and importers. That focus shows up in the service mix, which extends past FNSKU labeling and bundling into container unloading, customs handling, and importing from China. Free API and EDI integration with 30-plus marketplaces is bundled in. Pricing starts around $0.35 per unit for labeling, with a $200 monthly minimum on the DTC side and no setup fee. It holds a 4.5 Google rating across 31 reviews.
