Miami, FL
I'm Saul Ortiz. I've spent 10+ years moving product for B2C and B2B brands (receiving, prepping, packing and shipping) and I built Marcana 3PL to do one thing exceptionally well: get your inventory into Amazon clean, compliant and on time. When Amazon stopped prepping in 2026, my team became the hands that do it for you. You deal with me and my crew directly, not a ticket queue.

Estimate my prep costsAmazon now requires every unit to arrive prepped, and it requires a US address on the account. If you are selling into the US from somewhere else, those two requirements are the wall. This is how sellers get past it.
Your inventory lands at 19599 NE 10th Ave in Miami: a 13,000 sq ft climate-controlled warehouse, not a mailbox. It is counted and photographed the day it arrives, so you can see what showed up without being in the room.
Duties, taxes and clearance are paid by you or your freight forwarder before it reaches us. We are not a customs broker and we do not act as importer of record. Freight tendered any other way can be refused or held at your cost, so settle this with your forwarder up front.
Cartons, pallets or a floor-loaded container, from your factory, your consolidator or your forwarder. Pre-declare what is coming and it gets processed the day it lands. Undeclared freight sits, because we have no way to know whose it is.
English and Spanish, same team, WhatsApp or email. You are not filing a ticket into a queue and waiting a day to find out whether your container arrived.
We prep and ship. We do not advise on entity structure, tax treatment or customs classification, those belong with your accountant, attorney or licensed broker.
Amazon discontinued its FBA prep services, FNSKU barcode labeling, poly-bagging and bubble-wrapping. Since January 1, 2026, Amazon no longer offers prep or item-labeling services for US FBA shipments, every unit must arrive already prepped and labeled. Improperly prepared inventory can face receiving problems and may not be eligible for reimbursement if it's damaged or untraceable. Sellers can prep in-house or use a third-party prep provider like Marcana 3PL.
You (or your supplier) send your inventory to our Miami warehouse. We prep and label it FBA-ready, build your Amazon shipment, and ship it to the Amazon fulfillment centers. You keep full control of your Amazon Seller account and shipment plans.
Yes: FNSKU labeling is our core service, along with poly-bagging (with the required suffocation warning), bubble-wrapping for fragile items, expiration/date labels, and removing or covering old labels.
Most prep jobs ship within a few business days of receiving your inventory; we confirm the exact timeline when we review your shipment. Operating from Miami, we're well-positioned for fast, cost-effective inbound to Amazon.
Standard FBA/WFS prep is $1.25 per unit under 500, $1 from 2000, $0.85 from 5,000 and $0.70 from 5,000+ units a month. FNSKU label only starts at $0.35 and fragile prep at $1.20 per unit. Plans start at $89/month and include receiving, your Miami address and 30 days of storage per received box; there is no minimum prep order. Use the planner for an estimate.
It is a planning estimate at our published rates. Final charges follow the units actually prepped, materials used and the carrier invoice. Regulated, oversized or fragile products are confirmed after a quick review.
Yes. Kitting and bundles are billed separately at $0.50–$1 per unit depending on the work. Mention them in onboarding or request a quick review.
No, outbound freight/postage to Amazon is billed through your own carrier or Amazon account. We build and label the shipment; you control the carrier. This keeps your costs transparent.

Choose a plan and pay online, no call required. Onboarding takes about five minutes, and we send simple instructions for your first shipment to Miami. If either side decides it is not the right fit before activation, your payment is refunded in full.
Yes, a large share of what we prep arrives from sellers who have never set foot in Miami. You do not need to be in the country for us to receive, prep and ship your inventory into Amazon. What you do need is a way to get the goods here with duties already handled, and a Seller Central account you control.
No. We are a prep and fulfillment provider, not a customs broker, and we do not act as importer of record. Send your freight DDP (duties, taxes and clearance paid by you or your forwarder) so it arrives at our dock ready to unload. If your shipment is tendered any other way, it can be refused or held at your cost.
Yes, and most do. Cartons, pallets or floor-loaded containers all work. Tell us in advance what is coming (carton count, contents, tracking, carrier and estimated arrival) and we will have it counted and photographed the day it lands. Undeclared freight can sit, because we have no way to know whose it is.
That is a question for your accountant or attorney, not for us, entity structure and tax treatment are outside what we can advise on. What we can tell you is the operational side: we need a verified business contact, a Seller Central account in your control, and freight that arrives DDP.
Amazon won't prep it anymore, but we will. Choose your plan online or estimate your costs first, and keep your inventory flowing into Amazon.
