Request a quoteWhat does SunPort Prep Center do?
SunPort is a third-party logistics (3PL) and Amazon FBA prep center based in Dania Beach, FL. We receive, store, label, pack, kit, and dispatch goods on behalf of e-commerce sellers — to Amazon fulfillment centers, retail DCs, and direct-to-consumer addresses across the U.S.
Where is the warehouse located?
Our 2,500 sq ft facility is at 1320 Stirling Rd, Dania Beach, FL 33004 — minutes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades, and the I-95 / I-595 corridor. The location is purpose-built for inbound ocean containers and outbound parcel + LTL freight.
Who do you typically work with?
Our core customer is an Amazon or marketplace seller doing roughly $250K–$10M in annual GMV who needs reliable prep, accurate inventory counts, and someone who picks up the phone. We also support DTC brands shipping from Shopify, importers handling LCL/FCL ocean freight, and B2B sellers consolidating cargo for retail DCs.
Can you handle Amazon FBA prep?
Yes — FBA prep is a core service line. That includes FNSKU labeling, polybagging, bubble wrap, suffocation warnings, hazmat handling, bundling (2-pack, 3-pack), kitting, master-carton labeling, pallet build, and direct freight to Amazon fulfillment centers per the seller's shipment plan.
What marketplaces do you ship to besides Amazon?
Walmart WFS, Target Plus, eBay, Shopify, Faire, TikTok Shop, and any U.S. retail DC. If your channel has a labeling or packaging SOP, send it over — we'll build it into your standard work instructions.
How fast is your turnaround on prep?
Standard turn time on received inventory is 24–72 hours from check-in to outbound-ready, depending on the SOP complexity and current queue. Rush slots are available for time-sensitive launches; ask about expedited handling when you scope the work.
How is pricing structured?
À la carte. Our standard rate card — pallet storage from $18/month, pallet receiving $10, pick at $3.50 first item + $0.40 each additional, packing $1.50/order, FNSKU labeling $0.30/unit, kitting $1.50/unit — is published on the Services page. Minimum monthly service fee runs $500–$1,000 depending on volume. Storage is billed in advance, fulfillment in arrears, Net 30. Quoted volumes above the standard footprint get a custom card after a 15-minute scoping call.
Is there a minimum monthly spend or contract term?
We work month-to-month with no long-term contracts. There's a modest monthly minimum to keep an account active, which we'll quote on the scoping call. There are no setup fees for standard onboarding.
How does onboarding work?
Five steps. (1) 15-minute scoping call. (2) Mutual NDA + signed SLA. (3) You ship a sample shipment plus your SOPs and label templates. (4) We do a paid test batch (typically 1–2 days). (5) Once you sign off, we go live with full receiving and prep.
How do I track inventory and orders?
All SKUs live in our Warehouse Management System (WMS) with real-time counts, cycle-count history, and inbound/outbound logs. We send a weekly inventory snapshot by email and stand up read-only WMS access on request for higher-volume accounts.
What service level can I expect for accuracy and SLAs?
Our target is 99%+ piece-level accuracy on outbound, measured against client SOPs. Standard SLAs cover receive-to-stow time, label-to-ship time, and weekly inventory reconciliation. SLAs and accuracy targets are written into every client agreement.
Do you handle hazmat, fragile, or temperature-sensitive inventory?
We handle standard ambient inventory and Amazon-approved hazmat categories (limited quantity, ORM-D). We are not a cold-chain or controlled-substance facility. If your SKU has special handling requirements, surface them during scoping so we can confirm fit.
Can you receive ocean containers and floor-loaded freight?
Yes — including drayage coordination from Port Everglades and Port of Miami, devanning of floor-loaded 20' and 40' containers, and reconciliation against packing lists with photo evidence.
Do you handle returns and reverse logistics?
Yes. We inspect returns, photograph damage, regrade saleable units, and re-prep them for Amazon Removal Order or restocking. Non-saleable units are routed to disposition per your written policy.
What carriers do you use?
Parcel via UPS, FedEx, and USPS; LTL and FTL via a vetted broker network for Amazon FC freight and retailer DC deliveries. We can ship under our account or yours — whichever lands the better rate.
Are you insured?
Yes. SunPort carries general liability and warehouseman's legal liability. Certificates of insurance are available on request as part of the onboarding packet.
Do you offer photography, listing prep, or other marketplace support?
Our scope is logistics — receiving, prep, fulfillment, and reverse logistics. We can refer photographers and listing-prep specialists from our partner network, but we don't run that work in-house.
How do I get a quote?
Email sales@sunport-prep.com or submit the form on the contact page with your monthly unit volume, SKU count, and target channels. We respond within one business day with availability and a draft scope.
