Amazon Ended FBA Prep Services—What Sellers Need to Know in 2026
As of January 1, 2026, Amazon officially discontinued its own "FBA Prep and Labeling" services for US sellers. The burden of compliance has shifted entirely to you.
4/24/2026
The Key Changes:
No More Safety Net: Previously, you could pay Amazon a small fee to label or bag your items. Now, shipments that arrive without proper labeling or poly-bagging are being rejected, returned, or even disposed of at the seller's expense.
The "Defect" Penalty: Amazon has increased "Inbound Defect" fees. If your barcode doesn't scan or your box is overweight, you aren't just paying a fine—your account health is at risk.
Rising FBA Fees: With Amazon's 2026 fee adjustments, every square inch of space matters. Bulky, poorly packed boxes are now more expensive to store than ever.
The Solution: Price Point Prep was built for this exact moment. We act as your pre-Amazon filter. We ensure 100% compliance with the new 2026 standards so that when your inventory hits the fulfillment center, it’s checked in immediately without fees or delays.
