Wildcat Prep and Ship is a small-town operation based in Edgar, Montana, a sales-tax-free state, and has run since 2019. Pricing is a la carte: $1.25 per unit standard and $2.00 per unit for shoes, with a one-time $75 registration fee. Add-ons are itemized down to the part, from poly bags at $0.30 to $1.15 by size, bubble bags at $0.60, bubble wrap at $1.10, and bundling at $0.50 for up to three items plus $0.10 per additional item. Reusing the original shipping box carries no charge, which trims box fees for sellers who plan ahead. The center works with online and retail arbitrage sellers preparing for Amazon FBA, offers apparel prep as a specialty, and documents any damage with a photo at receiving. Turnaround runs 48 to 72 hours, billing is via PayPal on the 1st and 15th, and bulk orders of 50 or more units need pre-approval.
