Amazon FBA prep changes are shaking up the eCommerce world. Picture this: you’re kicking back, thinking Amazon’s got your back with their “prep it for me” service. You ship your goods, grab a coffee, and wait for the sales to roll in. Then bam, the news drops. Sellers now have to handle their own prep.
Wait, what? If you’re scratching your head wondering how this changes your game, don’t sweat it. We’re breaking down what this means and how Ordoro’s new integration with Amazon AWD is here to make sure your prep and fulfillment don’t skip a beat.
The Prep Service That’s Walking Out the Door
Remember those golden days when Amazon would slap on labels, bubble wrap your fragile goodies, and package like pros? Yeah, those days are ending.
From now on, you gotta handle all that prep before your shipment hits the Amazon fulfillment centers. That means labels, packaging, poly bags, the whole shebang.
It’s like Amazon saying, “Hey, we love you, but now you’re the chef and we’re just the waiters.” This shift means more prep work and more responsibility lands on your plate.
Why Is Amazon Changing the Rules?
Amazon says this change is about speeding up warehouse processing and cutting down errors. Makes sense in theory.
But in reality, it’s a giant “You’re on your own now” to sellers.
More work, more responsibility, and a bigger risk if your prep isn’t perfect.
What Sellers Are Facing Now with Amazon FBA Prep Changes
Here’s the real talk. You must nail Amazon’s prep requirements to avoid rejected shipments. Mess up and you could face extra fees or delays that hurt your seller ratings.
For many sellers, this means outsourcing prep services might become a lifesaver. Whether that’s a local third-party prep center or a fulfillment partner, someone’s gotta do the heavy lifting.
More prep means either more time spent in-house or more dollars spent outsourcing. Either way, it’s a new reality.
