Common FBA Prep Challenges (and How Southeast Fulfillment Solves Them)

Amazon FBA prep may look simple at first—label, pack, and ship—but the details can be overwhelming. Sellers often run into issues that cause delays, rejections, or even suspended shipments. The good news? These challenges are common and completely avoidable when you have the right 3PL partner.

Amazon FBA prep and packaging process

1. Incorrect Labeling and Barcode Placement

Misplaced or missing barcodes are among the top reasons Amazon rejects shipments. Even small mistakes can lead to delays.
Solution: Southeast Fulfillment follows Amazon’s exact barcode guidelines and double-checks each item for accuracy before shipping.

2. Inconsistent Packaging Standards

Improper packaging leads to damaged goods and negative reviews.
Solution: We use Amazon-approved materials and packaging methods to protect every unit during transit.

3. Slow Turnaround Times

Manual prep or busy in-house teams often cause inventory delays.
Solution: With our efficient workflow, most prep jobs are completed within 24–48 hours—keeping your restocks on schedule.

4. Lack of Inventory Tracking

Sellers often lose track of what’s sent, stored, or prepped.
Solution: Our system provides clear visibility, reports, and communication so you always know where your products are.

5. Not Meeting Amazon’s Compliance Rules

Each product type has different FBA requirements—poly bagging, expiration labeling, suffocation warnings, etc.
Solution: Our team is trained on Amazon’s latest compliance updates, ensuring every shipment passes inspection smoothly.

FBA prep challenges can slow your business down—but they don’t have to. With Southeast Fulfillment, sellers get reliable, accurate, and compliant prep every time, helping them scale without stress.
