Amazon FBA Prep Center in New Jersey for Marketplace Sellers
Your container lands, and the cartons in it are not shippable to a marketplace yet. Prep happens in the same building that receives the freight, so it is not moved twice.
Quick summary
- Nexus Warehouse Crossdock is at 99 Kero Rd, Carlstadt, NJ 07072, about 15 miles from Port Newark-Elizabeth.
- Prep covers labeling, polybagging, bundling, kitting, carton compliance and shipment coordination.
- Marketplaces handled are Amazon, Walmart, Etsy and Shopify.
- Prep pricing is custom, not a published unit rate: it depends on product, volume, packaging and marketplace requirements.
- Because prep is quoted per project, a quote needs the product, the volume and the marketplace before it means anything.
What prep covers
Labeling
FNSKU and marketplace labels applied to units or cartons, and shipment labels applied to the outbound boxes.
Polybagging and bundling
Units bagged or bundled where the marketplace requires it, including multi-packs assembled from loose units.
Kitting
Multiple SKUs assembled into a single sellable unit before it goes into the shipment.
Carton compliance
Cartons brought to the weight, dimension and labeling rules the marketplace applies before it will receive them.
Receiving and storage around prep
The same building receives the container, holds the freight and ships the prepared cartons, so nothing is trucked between vendors.
Shipment coordination
Prepared shipments routed out to the marketplace, or handed to your carrier.
What does FBA prep cost in New Jersey?
These are the published rates. Oversized, damaged, unstable and non-standard freight may need custom pricing, and final charges can be confirmed by management after inspection.

There is no published per-unit prep rate, because prep cost moves with the product and the marketplace's rules rather than with pallet count. Freight handling and storage around the prep work bill at the published rates. The full rate card, including oversized pallet multipliers and the live calculator, is on the pricing page.
What we need to quote prep
A warehouse cannot price freight it cannot see. Send these and you get a real number instead of a range.
- Which marketplace, and which program
- What the product is, and unit dimensions and weight
- Unit count and carton count
- Which prep steps are needed — labels, bags, bundles, kits
- Whether cartons are already marketplace-compliant
- Whether freight needs receiving and storage before prep starts

What does prep cost?
Prep pricing is custom. It depends on product, volume, packaging requirements, marketplace requirements and scope of work, so there is no published per-unit rate. Freight handling and storage around it bill at the published rates.
Can you receive my container and prep in the same place?
Yes. The same building receives the container, holds the freight and ships the prepared cartons, so the freight is not moved between vendors.

Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, first come first served. After-hours service is available at published surcharges up to the 8:00 PM cut-off. After 8:00 PM and on weekends, work is by prior confirmation only — call the manager.
How is standard pallet handling billed?
A $100 minimum covers 1 to 10 pallets on a visit. Above ten pallets, each standard 40x48 pallet is $10 in and out. Oversized pallets bill by how many standard spaces they occupy.
