RLC Prep & Ship operates out of Red Lodge, Montana, using the state sales-tax-free status to help clients trim overhead. It is one of the more channel-flexible centers in the directory, explicitly supporting Amazon FBA, Amazon FBM, and Walmart WFS. Published FBA pricing is volume-tiered, starting at $1.50 per unit for 1 to 200 units and dropping to $0.85 per unit at 10,000 plus, with books at $1.75 and FBM at $2.25 per unit excluding packaging. The base FBA rate is genuinely all-in, bundling receiving, inspection photos for damaged items, label and price tag removal, poly bags for items up to 24 inches, prepping, labeling, shipping plan creation, boxing, and shipping. Specialized handling covers fragile, oversized, books and media, and shoes. Note the weight cap: no items over 50 lbs, and large items over 24 inches carry a $0.20 per unit surcharge.
