Request a Prep consultation today!
As part of our new Logistics Services, you can mix and match Deliverr Prep with any of our other solutions (Freight, Reserve Storage, Returns, or Parcel) to customize your own logistics infrastructure, whether or not you already use Deliverr for fulfillment.
Why use Deliverr Prep?
Simplify your prep operation to focus on scale and growth: Get access to easy, transparent pricing, inventory visibility, and the convenience of prep and connected logistics options all under one roof—so you can spend time on other things.
Avoid costly lost cycles from inventory issues: Poorly prepped goods can really cost you in provider rejections, non-compliance fees, damages, lost production cycles, and constrained inventory you can’t afford.
Transform your inventory to meet all sales channel needs: Sell compliant, fully prepped products with any downstream fulfillment provider. Our expertise ensures whatever preparation your inventory needs, we’ll make it happen so you can sell anywhere.
What prep services are offered?
With Deliverr Prep, you have access to a wide variety of value-added services, including:
- Labeling units: The Deliverr team will print your unit barcode labels, apply them to your units, and ensure they are visible and compliant.
- Box content labeling: The Deliverr team will print box and master carton labels and apply them to inbound cartons, ensuring compliance with any downstream channels.
- Bubble wrapping units: The Deliverr team will bubble wrap your units to reduce the chance of damage during handling and transportation. All wrapped units will be packaged to pass a standard 3 foot drop test.
- Bagging units: The Deliverr team will place your units in a sealed poly bag with the appropriate labels and barcodes visible. This will help items remain intact and protected throughout the fulfillment process.
- Boxing units: The Deliverr team will place your units in boxes to ensure they are protected throughout the fulfillment process. This packaging can be provided by the merchant or sourced by Deliverr.
- Kitting: The Deliverr team will combine multiple items that you choose into a single SKU, and then assemble these items for future shipment.
- Floor loaded container: The Deliverr team will unload your floor loaded containers and arrange your boxes on pallets for further processing. Containers must remain at the fulfillment center for 2 business days to complete unloading. Live unloads are not offered.
- And more!*
*Note: At this time, Deliverr can not provide branded prep services (e.g., printing company logos on boxes). See our full list of restricted products here.
