Why smart sellers prep in China — not the US
China-based FBA prep delivers 60-80% cost savings on labor, factory-direct packaging pricing, and eliminates a redundant shipping leg. Every dollar saved in prep is a dollar added to your margin.
Labor Costs 60-80% Lower Than US Prep Centers
US-based prep centers charge $1.50-$3.00 per unit for basic FBA prep. Our China facilities deliver the same service at a fraction of the cost — without sacrificing quality or compliance. On 10,000 units per month, that's $15,000-$30,000 in savings that goes straight to your bottom line.
- • Per-unit prep costs reduced by 60-80% vs. US facilities
- • Packaging materials sourced at factory cost — not retail markup
- • Volume discounts that scale with your business
- • No minimum order fees or hidden surcharges
Direct Factory-to-FBA — Skip the US Prep Middleman
The traditional model wastes time and money: factory → port → US prep center → Amazon. Our model eliminates the middle step entirely. Products go from factory to our China prep facility, then direct to Amazon FCs — cutting 7-14 days from your total lead time.
- • Factory → China prep center → Amazon FC in one streamlined chain
- • No double-handling, no duplicate warehousing fees
- • Container-level shipments direct to designated FBA fulfillment centers
- • Drip-feed inventory management for optimal FBA restock limits
Amazon Compliance Without the Learning Curve
Amazon changes its FBA prep requirements regularly. Our team tracks every policy update — from poly-bag suffocation warnings to carton weight limits and pallet specifications — so your shipments never get rejected at the dock.
- • FNSKU labeling to current Amazon specifications per category
- • Poly-bagging with compliant suffocation warnings
- • Carton weight, dimension, and labeling specs per FC requirements
- • SPD and LTL shipment preparation including pallet labels
Multi-Point Quality Inspection with Photo Documentation
Every unit passes through three inspection checkpoints — pre-production inspection (PPI), mid-stage during prep processing, and final pre-shipment AQL sampling. Photo documentation is provided at every stage so you see exactly what's shipping before it leaves China.
- • Pre-production inspection: verify incoming goods against PO
- • Mid-stage inspection: spot-check during labeling and prep
- • Final AQL sampling: randomized inspection before container loading
- • Full photo report delivered before any shipment departs

Client Results
Amazon sellers who switched to China-based prep
“Quality control used to cause me constant anxiety. Now, having a dedicated local team on the ground changes everything. I receive real-time updates, factory videos, and rigorous AQL inspection reports before any shipment. Their inspector caught a packaging color discrepancy early and fixed it instantly. We haven't had a single defective batch reach our Amazon FBA inventory since starting this partnership.”
Matthew S. Majeski
Amazon FBA Seller
“We were spending $2.80 per unit on US prep before switching to LeelineGroup's China-based prep facility. Our per-unit cost dropped to $0.65 — and our compliance rate actually improved. Our inbound rejection rate went from 3% to zero. For a seller moving 15,000 units a month, that math changes your entire P&L.”
David Chen
Enterprise Amazon Seller, $12M+/year
“The multi-channel dispatch capability was the game-changer for us. We sell on Amazon, Walmart, and our own Shopify store — and LeelineGroup handles prep and fulfillment for all three channels from one inventory pool. No more splitting stock between three different 3PLs. One facility, one team, complete visibility.”

FAQ
Amazon FBA prep questions, answered directly
Why should I prep in China instead of a US prep center?
China-based prep offers three major advantages: cost, speed, and simplicity. Labor is 60-80% cheaper, packaging materials cost less at the source, and your products skip the redundant factory → US prep center → Amazon path. Instead, goods go factory → China prep → Amazon FC, cutting 7-14 days off total lead time. On a shipment of 10,000 units, the savings typically range from $10,000 to $20,000 compared to US prep centers.
How do you ensure FBA compliance and avoid inbound rejections?
We maintain a 98%+ FBA compliance rate through three layers: (1) our compliance team continuously tracks Amazon Seller Central policy updates, (2) every shipment is checked against the latest FBA prep requirements including poly-bag specifications, suffocation warnings, carton weight limits, and FNSKU label placement, and (3) final AQL inspection includes a specific FBA compliance checklist before any container is loaded. We've processed over 2,000 containers with zero customer-reported inbound rejections.
What's the minimum shipment size for FBA prep services?
We work with businesses of all sizes. There's no formal minimum — we handle everything from 100-unit test batches to full container loads. For smaller volumes, we offer flexible storage options so you can accumulate inventory until you have enough for an economical FBA shipment. Our drip-feed inventory management helps sellers at every scale maintain optimal FBA stock levels without paying for excess Amazon storage.
How long does the FBA prep process take from factory to Amazon?
Typical prep processing at our Shenzhen facility takes 3-5 business days from goods receipt to shipment-ready. Add shipping transit time: 2-5 days for express courier, 4-7 days for air freight, 12-18 days for ocean to US West Coast, and 22-30 days for ocean to US East Coast. Total door-to-FC timeline: approximately 15-35 days depending on shipping method. We'll help you choose the right method based on your inventory position and urgency.
Can you handle multiple Amazon marketplaces and other sales channels?
Yes — our multi-channel dispatch capability supports Amazon FBA across all marketplaces (US, Canada, UK, EU, Japan, Australia), Walmart WFS, DTC fulfillment for Shopify and brand.com orders, and B2B wholesale dispatch. All channels pull from one shared inventory pool in our Shenzhen facility, with channel-specific labeling, packaging, and documentation per destination requirements.
What documentation do I receive during the prep process?
You receive arrival confirmation with carton count and condition photos within 24 hours of goods receipt. During prep: unit-level inspection photos, FNSKU verification scans, and packaging compliance documentation. Pre-shipment: complete AQL inspection report with defect classification, final carton-level packing list, shipping documents (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading), and carrier tracking information. Every stage is documented and shared in real time — you see what we see, before anything leaves China.
