The Problem with Optimizing In-House

Selling more should make shipping easier, not harder.

Amazon sellers doing $10M+ per year know the pain.

  • You're stuck shipping 5+ LTL shipments per replenishment.
  • Inventory sits in FC Transfer purgatory.
  • Placement fees pile up with little control.
  • Your ops team spends more time coordinating freight than growing the business.
  • ZonPrep solves all of that, by letting you send everything to one warehouse, while we handle the complexity.

How it breaks down

Amazon's split-shipment system is great for FBA and complex for sellers.

Amazon splits your inventory into multiple destinations. That means 5x the shipments, delays, and costs. ZonPrep solves that with a single-location model, consolidating your freight and moving it via full truckload, daily. The result? Your inventory gets checked in faster and for far less, no matter your volume.

What changes

What changes when you use ZonPrep's consolidation model?

Placement Fees
Eliminated

Amazon's Inbound Placement Service fee can eat up a big chunk of your margin. We handle internal splits, so you don't pay a dime.

Speed
Weeks → Days

LTL shipments can take up to 3 weeks to check in. ZonPrep shipments hit Amazon and are ready for purchase in less than 48 hours, 1.7 days to be exact.

Cost
$15M Saved

ZonPrep clients saved $15 million in Amazon placement fees in 2025. Shipping smarter adds margin back to your bottom line.

Simplicity
Fully Managed

You send everything to us. We take it from there, splits, appointments, Seller Central coordination, and proof-of-delivery included.

How consolidation works

One dock. Daily full truckloads. Priority appointments.

Your freight arrives at ZonPrep, is unloaded the same day, and consolidated with other sellers.

That combined volume is what gives us the leverage to run daily full truckloads to Amazon's FCs, and to book priority receiving appointments through Amazon Carrier Central that standard LTL shippers can't access.

The result: your inventory gets scanned in the next day instead of sitting in a trailer queue for three weeks.

Case Study

This wellness brand eliminated placement fees and cut weeks off Amazon check-in.

A large wellness brand was averaging 23-day check-in times. After routing through ZonPrep Atlanta, they were at 1.7 days, and never paid a placement fee again.

Strategic location

Georgia: the fastest path to Amazon's front door.

Our Georgia facility sits at the center of the highest concentration of Amazon Regional Fulfillment Centers. With the majority of seller shipment splits going to the East Coast, this proximity means shorter transit times, lower freight costs, and faster check-ins for every shipment we consolidate.

Georgia is also a major transportation hub, direct interstate access, proximity to the Port of Savannah, and a dense carrier network make it the ideal staging point for brands shipping from anywhere in the country.

The result: your inventory moves from our dock to Amazon's regional FCs faster and cheaper than from any other location.

"We have a lot of seasonality and do a lot of sales, so we deal with a lot of spikes. As good as our forecasts can be, they're not always perfect. To get stuff checked in a lot faster allows us to keep our organic rank. Working with ZonPrep has been great. They're always responsive. Everybody really cares about the product and getting it in, so we have a lot of trust with them."
