Charlotte FBA Prep
Amazon FBA prep checklist for Charlotte sellers.
Use this checklist before sending inventory to a Charlotte prep warehouse for FNSKU labels, carton prep, palletization, storage, and replenishment.

FNSKU labels
Carton prep
Overflow storage
FBA replenishment
Prep checklist
Confirm the operating details before inventory reaches the warehouse.
Most FBA prep problems start before the first carton is opened. The prep provider needs clear product, label, carton, pallet, storage, and replenishment instructions before launch.
SKU and ASIN profile
List SKU count, ASINs, variants, carton quantities, dimensions, weights, expiration or lot rules, and any oversized or fragile items before pricing the work.
FNSKU and unit labels
Confirm which units need FNSKU labels, who provides label files, where labels should be placed, and how mismatched or unreadable barcodes are handled.
Carton and shipment labels
Document carton counts, shipment labels, mixed-carton rules, carton content requirements, and whether cartons need relabeling before Amazon release.
Prep tasks and value-add work
Identify polybagging, bundling, kitting, inserts, suffocation labels, relabeling, inspection, rework, or SKU conversion before inventory arrives.
Pallet profile
Confirm pallet counts, carton stacking, stretch wrap, pallet labels, appointment requirements, and any height or weight constraints tied to the shipment plan.
Overflow storage plan
Decide what stays in the Charlotte warehouse, what moves to Amazon now, and how often replenishment batches should be released from stored stock.
Inventory visibility
Ask how stored, staged, prepped, shipped, removed, and returned inventory will be visible by SKU, order, location, and exception.
Multi-channel availability
If the same inventory supports Shopify, wholesale, retail, or marketplace orders, confirm how stock is allocated before it is committed to FBA.
Pricing prep
What to send before asking for FBA prep pricing.
FBA prep pricing depends on product detail, handling rules, and replenishment behavior. Send the operating profile first so the provider can quote the real work instead of a generic per-unit rate.
SKU count and ASIN list
Monthly inbound carton or pallet volume
Monthly FBA replenishment cadence
FNSKU, carton, and shipment label needs
Unit prep tasks such as polybagging, bundling, inserts, or relabeling
Storage profile for bulk inventory held outside Amazon
Pallet/carton dimensions, weights, and handling rules
Non-Amazon channels that may use the same Charlotte inventory
Charlotte workflow
How FBA prep should move from storage to replenishment.
A Charlotte FBA prep program should keep bulk inventory controlled, prepare stock cleanly, and release replenishment only when sellers need it.
Step 1
Receive and count
Inventory lands in Charlotte, is checked against the inbound profile, and is made visible before prep begins.
Step 2
Prep and verify
Labels, cartons, pallets, kits, bundles, or relabeling work are completed against the seller's instructions.
Step 3
Stage replenishment
Prepared cartons or pallets are staged into replenishment batches instead of pushing all stock into FBA at once.
Step 4
Release and report
Inventory is released toward Amazon with stored stock, staged stock, and exceptions tied back to warehouse reporting.
Why Charlotte
Use Charlotte as the buffer before Amazon receives stock.
For many sellers, the warehouse value is not just applying labels. It is keeping inventory outside Amazon, making it visible, preparing it correctly, and releasing replenishment in controlled batches.
Reduce avoidable FBA storage pressure
Keep stock available for DTC and wholesale
Stage replenishment before Amazon release
Use WMS reporting before inventory leaves Charlotte
