If you sell Groceries, Beauty products, or Health items, you know the single most dangerous rule of Amazon FBA: Expiration Dates. It’s not just about tracking numbers. Amazon requires a 100% compliant MM-DD-YYYY expiration label to be visibly printed on the OUTSIDE of all poly-bagged items, in addition to the FNSKU. The date must also be at least [Insert Current FBA Rule, e.g., 90 days] past the delivery date.

At Price Point Prep, we treat your high-risk perishable inventory with specialized care. We don't just poly-bag; we implement full-service expiry tracking. Our process guarantees that any unit that doesn't meet the date requirements is flagged during inbound and separated, saving you from a high 'Inbound Defect' rate and the dreaded FBA account suspension.

Don’t guess on perishable compliance. Partner with a boutique prep center that prioritizes precision over speed.
