North Prep is a Canadian 3PL operating in Metro Vancouver, with locations in Surrey and Burnaby, BC, positioned close to the sea ports, Amazon warehouses, and the US border. That cross-border footprint shapes its service list: package forwarding between Canada and the USA, Canada-USA customs clearance, importer-of-record support, and Amazon FBA prep with Seller Central API label uploading. The team states a minimum of five years of experience, and notably declines to work with liquidation companies. The minimum service cost is CAD $50, and new clients get their first month of storage free, with volume discounts available beyond that. Pricing otherwise runs on a custom quote. Expansion into central and eastern Canada plus US warehousing is underway. It fits online-arbitrage and import sellers who need a Canada-based partner for forwarding, customs, and FBA prep close to the border.
