Amazon FBA Product Inspection — Why It Matters and What We Check

<p>Every unit that passes through SNS Prep Center gets inspected. Not a random sample — every single unit. Here's why that matters.</p><h2>What We Inspect</h2><ul><li><strong>Physical damage</strong> — dents, scratches, cracks, water damage, crushed packaging</li><li><strong>Count verification</strong> — we count every unit, every case, every pallet</li><li><strong>Label accuracy</strong> — correct FNSKU on correct product (surprisingly common error)</li><li><strong>Compliance flags</strong> — missing poly bags, wrong category prep, expiration date issues</li><li><strong>Functionality</strong> — for electronics and mechanical items, basic functionality check</li></ul><h2>What Happens When We Find Issues</h2><ol><li>Document and photograph the issue</li><li>Notify you immediately with photos and options</li><li>Follow your instructions: return to supplier, process with discount, or dispose</li></ol><h2>Cost of Skipping Inspection</h2><p>One damaged unit shipped to Amazon = negative review. One negative review on a new listing = weeks of lost sales. One customer return = –8 in fees.</p><p>VS the cost of inspection: included in our standard prep fee. <a href=/services>See our full service list</a>.</p>
