Why use a WFS prep center

Walmart has its own rules

Walmart's WFS requirements differ from Amazon's, and inventory that arrives unprepared can be delayed or refused. We know both programs. Your Walmart stock is prepped the right way while your Amazon stock sits in the same warehouse.

FAQ

Walmart WFS prep questions

What is Walmart WFS prep?

Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) stores and ships your Walmart Marketplace orders. Before inventory goes to a WFS fulfillment center it must be labeled, packed and boxed to Walmart's requirements. A prep center does that work for you.

Are WFS prep rates different from FBA prep?

No. WFS and FBA prep use the same rate card. Labeling starts at $0.50 per unit and receiving is free.

Can you prep the same product for both Amazon and Walmart?

Yes. Many sellers store one batch with us and split it between Amazon FBA, Walmart WFS and FBM orders.

How long does WFS prep take?

Prep is usually completed within 24 to 48 hours after your inventory is received and we have your instructions.
