4 Things to Look Out For When Choosing a UK FBA Prep Service📦

4 Things to Look Out For

Prep service companies exist to make life easier for you if you are an FBA seller, and by taking their services you afford yourself a fantastic opportunity to be more hands off in your business and focus in other areas for continued growth. 

On the other hand, a prep service can also break your Amazon FBA business if they aren’t fulfilling their duties to the highest possible standard.

Here are 4 things to consider when choosing your prep service provider…

1. Communication

Communication is always key, and how the prep service company communicates with you will always be an indicator of how competent and reliable they are at what they do.

Are they efficient in communicating with you? Do you feel informed every step of the way? Do they relay all relevant information back to you in a timely manner?

If you answered no to any of the above, it may be worth looking elsewhere. 

2. Shipping Times

Shipping times are massively important to your business, so it’s important that you know as much as you can about the prep companies' estimated shipping times.

Have a look at what they’re advertising. What are their goals? What are their targets? What do they promise you as a potential client?

You’ll need to know how quickly they actually get your products posted out to Amazon, so it may be a good idea to trial them for a short period of time, to ensure that you’re 100% happy with the service.

3. Pricing

This is of course a massive selling point - the price has got to be right. Right?

Does the company charge a flat fee across the board, no matter how much or how little you use their services? Or do they reward customers who are loyal and take up their services more often and for more products?

A sign of a good prep service company is one that rewards you. This isn’t just a monetary thing though - if they reward you, it shows that they value you and your custom, and will do their very best to keep you on board.

4. Product Flow

Always look into the flow of your products through their business.

How do they handle product flow? Are they organised and efficient? Is it easy to follow? Do you understand what’s happening, every step of the way?

A team with good product flow and management will usually supply you with a welcome pack and/or instruction manual on how to uphold your side of things. Everything should make sense and if it doesn’t, they should always be more than willing and available to answer your questions. 

It is imperative that you understand product flow thoroughly, as you will be the person relaying it back to your team. So if their product flow is simple, thorough, organised and efficient, you know you’re onto a winner.
