FNSKU label applied
To the correct surface per Amazon's spec, covering any existing barcode where Amazon's rules require it.
Amazon + Noon FC prep
Amazon's rules, handled.
Every unit going to Amazon FC or Noon FC needs an FNSKU label applied correctly. Miss the spec and your units get rejected, sometimes destroyed, always at your cost. We apply labels at AED 0.50 per unit. Storage while we prep is free. Same-day dispatch to the FC when your appointment is booked.
Amazon FBA and Noon FC prep runs AED 0.50 per unit plus the carton label. That covers FNSKU application, polybagging, and bundling where the marketplace requires it, then we book the inbound appointment and ship it in compliant so it is not refused at the dock. Prep and your direct-to-consumer orders run off the same stock pool, so one batch of inventory feeds both Amazon and your own store.

Why this matters
One wrong label, one rejected shipment.
Amazon and Noon inspect every shipment at their FC. Labels not on the right surface, wrong FNSKU format, missing expiration date, damaged polybag: they have a rule for all of it. Break a rule and your units get flagged. Flagged units get rejected, returned to you at your cost, or destroyed with a fee.
Sellers who ask their supplier in Yiwu or Shenzhen to "just put the labels on" learn this the hard way. Suppliers do not know Amazon's rules and they have no reason to care. Their job was to make the product, not prep it for FBA.
Sellers who try to label at home hit a different wall: it is slow, mistakes happen, and when the shipment arrives at the FC you find out about your errors on the rejection notice. Sometimes weeks later.
The checklist, every unit.
Each unit going to Amazon FC or Noon FC gets the same prep treatment. Here is what we apply per unit under the standard label prep service.
Amazon shipping label generated
From your seller dashboard shipment plan, applied to the outer shipping box.
Unit condition check
Visual inspection of each unit. Damaged units get pulled, photographed, and flagged back to you.
Quantity verified
Count matches what your seller dashboard expects. Discrepancies reported before dispatch.
Shipment ready for dispatch
Boxed per your shipping plan, labeled, staged for the Amazon pickup or carrier drop-off.
Photos on request
Prepped units photographed and sent to you before dispatch. Available on any shipment if you ask.

Your stock can wait. The clock doesn't run.
FBA timelines are awkward. Your shipment from China arrives Tuesday. Your Amazon FC appointment is Friday. Most 3PLs would charge you 3 days of pro-rata storage for the wait. We don't.
Prep-in-transit storage is free at SamVertex. Your stock sits with us during the wait, we prep when you are ready, we dispatch when your appointment lands. You are only paying for the actual label prep work, not for shelf time we happen to occupy.
Stock arrives, ships to Amazon.
Step 1 to 2, receiving
Your supplier or freight forwarder ships to our warehouse. We receive, count, inspect. Any damaged units get photographed and flagged back to you before prep.
Step 3, labeling
Each unit gets its FNSKU label on the correct surface per Amazon's specs. Units without existing barcodes get the label in the default spot; units with existing barcodes get the FNSKU covering them per Amazon's rules.
Step 4 to 5, boxing and dispatch
Units are boxed per your Amazon shipping plan (case pack quantity, box count). The shipment label from your seller dashboard goes on each box. We dispatch to the FC via your chosen carrier, same-day when your appointment allows.
Already shipping from China? Consolidate the operation.
If your FBA stock comes from China (most of it does), there is a reason to consolidate: one vendor for freight, customs, prep, and FC dispatch means one timeline, one point of contact, one invoice. When things go wrong, there is no finger-pointing between vendors.
We do sea freight (LCL and FCL from China ports), air freight for urgent SKUs, customs clearance on arrival in UAE. From the moment your shipment leaves Shenzhen to the moment it lands at Amazon FC, it is the same team handling it.
Questions we get.
What exactly is included in the AED 0.50 per unit rate?
FNSKU label application to the correct surface per Amazon's specs, Amazon shipping label application to the shipping box, unit count verification, damage inspection, and dispatch to the FC. Everything needed for a standard label prep.
What prep services are NOT included in the AED 0.50 rate?
Polybag application, bundle prep (combining multiple units into a single SKU bundle), expiration date labels for grocery or health products, case packing beyond standard, custom shipment plans. These are quoted per merchant based on unit count and complexity. Ask us before your shipment lands so we can plan.
Do you charge for storage while you prep?
No. Prep-in-transit storage is free. Your stock sits with us during the wait between inbound arrival and Amazon appointment, we prep when you are ready, no CBM charges for that window. We treat it as a cooperation on timing, not a revenue line.
How fast can you prep and dispatch?
Same-day is typical. Many of our merchants book their Amazon appointment while their shipment is still inbound. We prep on arrival and dispatch on the spot. Rarely spills to next-day, usually only for larger shipments that need more than a few hours of labeling work.
Do you handle Noon FC prep the same way?
Yes. Noon has similar requirements to Amazon (labels, packaging, shipment plans). Same AED 0.50 per unit rate for label prep. Same same-day turnaround. Same free storage during prep.
What if my supplier already applied labels? Do I get a discount?
We'll still inspect the labels to make sure they meet Amazon's specs. If they're correct, we don't re-label, we just verify and dispatch. That case is usually quoted as a lower rate. If they're wrong, we re-label at the standard AED 0.50 rate.
What happens if Amazon rejects my shipment at the FC?
We shouldn't be the reason for the rejection if we prepped it. That's the point of using a prep service. If Amazon rejects something we labeled and it's our prep error, we'll cover the cost to redo it. If Amazon rejects it for reasons outside our prep (product policy, account issues, etc.), that's on you to sort with Amazon.
Can I send you just a few units, like 20 to 50?
Yes. No minimum. Small batches get the same AED 0.50 per unit rate. We run plenty of small inbounds for sellers in their first few months of FBA.
Can you create my Amazon shipment plan for me?
Creating the shipment plan in Amazon Seller Central requires access to your seller account, which we don't take. You create the plan, share the shipment plan PDF and FNSKU list with us, and we execute the prep. If you need guidance on how to create the plan, we can walk you through it.
How do I get started with FBA prep at SamVertex?
Send us an email or WhatsApp with your expected shipment: SKU count, units per SKU, when it arrives at our warehouse, and your Amazon FC appointment if booked. We confirm capacity and timeline within the day. For your first shipment we walk through the process together; after that it is usually just an email when stock is inbound.
