10 Reasons to Outsource Your Amazon FBA Prep as Quickly as Possible

In this blog post, we will go through 10 reasons why you should outsource your Amazon FBA Prep service as quickly as possible and go through in clear detail why doing so will be so beneficial to you. 

Whether you want to have a business where you can quit your job, have freedom, or have financial freedom, these 10 reasons are so significant, it can have such an impact.

What is a prep service? A prep service is a service, which allows you to place orders, whether that is OA (Online Arbitrage), RA (Retail Arbitrage), Wholesale, Private Label, whatever Amazon FBA that you have, allows you to place orders and instead of it being shipped to you, it goes to the prep service first.

So, it goes from the supplier, to prep service, to Amazon. So it diverts you completely, and these are the reasons why it has such a dramatic impact...

Time

You and I have not got any... We have so many things to do every day, when we are trying to build a business just to start with. 

Let’s say you are just getting started and you possibly have a full-time job, family or you are in a situation where you find yourself having lots of different responsibilities - the reality is that it is time consuming.

Everything from the delivery coming up to the door, having to sign for it, taking the packaging, taking the boxes out, getting the package slip, checking to see if all the products are there, seeing if there are any problems with the products; or damage, getting them all checked in, having to print out the labels, creating the shipments, and getting the bubblewrap and the bags. All takes so much time, where we are already highly limited on time to begin with. 

Fortunately for when Kev first started, in June of 2015, he had a warehouse manager in his living room, called Kylie and she is still the warehouse manager to this day.

So, the point is, Kev knows exactly what it feels like. Fortunately, Kylie was on maternity leave, so he was able to get hands on Kylie, and being able to except everything, the manual work and the labelling, every single thing.

So time, it is such a major impact in everything we do, and a prep service can relieve that.

Space

We don’t know where you are currently storing all your items, but for Kev, it was in his living room at his own house. He had products, materials, equipment and labels everywhere - his dining room table became his office space. They also had a baby at the same time, so the room was also covered with baby toys, a rocking chair and nappies etc.

One of the top reasons is definitely space, bring your home back as quickly as possible. 

Speed

How fast are you getting your products out? Do you have the products in and out the same day, or are you at work and have to work around the deliveries? 

From purchasing to being available on Amazon, even if it is a day delay, from each day that there is a delay, it has a dramatic impact on you selling your products and getting that capital and cash-flow going. This is why that speed is imperative, and why at our warehouse, we have streams and a system in place, we know what everyone is doing and what we have to do, every 10 seconds has a massive impact.

Management of People

Whether you have one employee, two or ten, with that comes: employee management, operational management, HR management, recording the payroll and all the holidays, and everything that is involved in that. And making sure that you as an employer are doing everything that you are needed to do, so that you don’t have to deal with that, because the prep service deals with it. You don’t have to have the ups and downs of the performance.

Management of Systems

Right now you may be at home, or you may be in your living room and you are thinking to yourself, where you are putting and scattering your items around the house. All of this is developing systems, you are thinking about where things are going, where you could be spending that time working and on the computer, so this is why the management of systems is very important.

Management of Materials

These are the boxes, bags, bubble wrap, printer, ink, label and the printer. If you don’t have one of them, the whole process falls over. Which means it can have such a dramatic impact on your whole operations. So, not having to deal with this, makes a huge difference.

Simplification

Right now you are trying to source, trying to purchase, and you are trying to ship. The more you ship, the more you purchase, the more you sell. Which means that if you simplify your business and just focus on your business rather than the shipping of the business, it is going to be so much more simple for you.

Knowing it is done and that you have a great team, great resources, great systems, great pricing and growth bonuses - everything is being taken care of, and it is so much weight off of your shoulders - it’s not using any more mental capacity that you already need to sort out your accounting, your legals and all the operations - thinking about how you are going to get to that next level. 

Education

If you think about it, strategy is so important and knowing the road ahead - Where are you going? Let’s say you are going into the Amazon Rainforest and you are just dropped in. If you think about it, the best way to find out where you are is to get your head up and start figuring out which way you are going to be heading. Because if you think about it, imagine you have gone 10 miles the wrong way, and now you have to backtrack and you will lose time - hours or days, possibly even weeks. The same can be applied for your business. So strategy and education is super important. 

Sourcing

A part of our Platinum Membership, we have our sourcing list, which basically means that the membership is being paid for. This is something that is amazing, because a part of our sourcing lists, we provide you products. We know that a physical products business, the oxygen, the blood through the veins of the business is the products. The more products that you have, the more that you can purchase and the more you can ship, sell and the more money you have -  everything diverts from the root, can we get more products? Which means we supply products to our Platinum members. 

So now, you are getting supplied with products, which can be sold for profit, which can be paid back for for the membership, and within that membership, you are getting the full team, resources, the warehouse, the materials and the employee costs - all of this is getting done and it is being the fuel to everything.
