Walmart WFS prep from Miami, on the same rate card as FBA
Walmart Fulfillment Services has its own inbound rules: GS1 barcodes, packaging that survives Walmart's fulfillment centers, carton labels from Seller Center, and shipments booked the Walmart way. We prep your units in our Miami warehouse, ship them to the assigned Walmart facility, and keep the rest of your inventory selling on Shopify, Amazon and TikTok Shop from the same stock.
Everything a WFS inbound needs before it leaves Miami
Walmart receives inventory at its fulfillment centers with a checklist that looks like Amazon's but is not identical. The barcode has to be a scannable GS1 UPC or a Walmart-generated item label, packaging has to protect the unit through a conveyor network, bagged items need suffocation warnings, and every carton needs the label Seller Center prints for that shipment. We handle each step and photograph the result.
- Barcode labeling: we verify your GS1 UPC scans, or apply Walmart item labels when a product needs its own, covering any conflicting codes.
- Packaging: poly bags with suffocation warnings, bubble wrap for fragile units, taped closures, sets bundled so they cannot separate in transit.
- Expiration-dated products: dates checked against Walmart's remaining-shelf-life rule and printed where the guideline asks.
- Carton building: cartons packed within Walmart's weight and dimension limits, labeled with the shipment's carton labels, contents recorded.
- Inbound shipment: parcel or pallet shipment to the assigned Walmart facility, booked with the carrier and tracked in your dashboard.
- Multi-channel stock: the units that do not go to WFS stay in Miami and ship to Shopify, Amazon FBM and TikTok Shop orders.
Prep stationFrom supplier carton to Walmart receipt
Create the shipment
You create the inbound order in Walmart Seller Center and share the carton labels and the assigned facility. We tell you what prep each SKU needs.
Receive in Miami
Your supplier ships to 19599 NE 10th Ave. We count, photograph and reconcile against the packing list the same business day.
Prep and label
Units are labeled, bagged or bubbled, and checked against Walmart's guideline. Each carton is packed, weighed and labeled.
Ship to Walmart
Parcel shipments go out on the day they are ready. Pallets are booked and picked up. Tracking is posted to your dashboard.
Confirm and reorder
When Walmart receives the units we reconcile the count. The remaining inventory keeps shipping direct-to-consumer from Miami.
Priced from the FBA and WFS prep table
Prep is billed per unit at the published rate for your monthly volume. The plan covers receiving, storage and the platform.

| 500 to 2,000 units a month | $1 / unit |
| 2,000 to 5,000 units a month | $0.85 / unit |

Plans start at $89 per month with ten inbound boxes and 30 days of storage per box. Carrier transportation to the Walmart facility is billed at carrier rates per shipment. The pricing page lists everything, and the Amazon FBA prep page shows how the same table applies to FBA.
One prep floor for both marketplaces
Same units, two channels
Split one inbound shipment between FBA and WFS in Miami instead of shipping to two prep centers.
Port of entry for the region
Latin American cargo lands in Miami. Prep here removes a domestic leg before the units ever reach Walmart.
Direct-to-consumer stays live
Walmart.com orders you fulfill yourself, plus Shopify and TikTok Shop, ship from the same shelf while WFS holds its share.
The mistake we see most with WFS is treating it like FBA with a different label. The barcode rules, the carton limits and the booking flow are different, and a rejected shipment costs weeks. We keep the Walmart checklist next to the Amazon one and follow the right one.
Questions about Walmart WFS prep
No. FNSKU is an Amazon label. Walmart Fulfillment Services receives units by GS1 UPC or by a Walmart item label generated in Seller Center. We verify the barcode scans and cover any other code on the unit.
Yes. Tell us how many units go to each marketplace when the inbound arrives. We prep each set to its own guideline and ship each to its assigned facility from the same Miami receipt.
You do, from your Walmart account, and you share the carton labels and facility assignment with us. We build the cartons to those labels and can create the shipment on your behalf if you give us user access.
Yes. We check the remaining shelf life against Walmart's guideline before the units leave, print the date in the required format when needed, and track lots in your dashboard.
Standard prep is $1.25 per unit under 500 units a month, $1 from 500 to 2,000, $0.85 from 2,000 to 5,000 and $0.70 above that. Fragile prep and kitting are on the same public table.
Yes, the plan covers the Miami receiving address, your inbound boxes and storage while units wait for prep. The Essential plan at $89 per month is enough for most WFS-only sellers.
