In today’s fast-paced e-commerce environment, we understand the importance of streamlining operations and ensuring transparency in service charges. At Prep By Me, we continually refine our processes to make them more efficient for our valued clients.
One significant update we are introducing is a change in how we handle products sourced from Amazon but not prepped by us. This new policy is known as Amazon to Amazon (A2A), and it affects how certain items are classified and charged.
What is Amazon to Amazon (A2A)?
Amazon to Amazon, or A2A, refers to products purchased from Amazon that are delivered directly to us for fulfilment. Historically, if we did not prep these items, they might have been treated as returns. However, we’re changing to simplify the process and provide better clarity for all involved.
What’s Changing?
Effective immediately, products that arrive at our fulfilment centre, sourced from Amazon but not prepped by us, will no longer be classified as returns. Instead, these items will be treated as normal products, similar to any other inventory sent for processing. As such, they will be charged by our standard product handling fees.
Why Are We Making This Change?
Consistency: Treating all items equally, regardless of their source, makes our operations more uniform and predictable for you.
Transparency: By treating A2A items as regular products, we avoid the complexities of return classifications, making it easier for you to understand and manage your costs.
Efficiency: This policy simplifies our workflows and ensures your products are processed without unnecessary delays or misclassification.
How Does This Affect You?
If you source products directly from Amazon and send them to our fulfillment center without having them prepped by us, you can expect these items to be processed like any other inventory. You will be charged our standard handling rates, and there will be no additional fees related to return processing.
This streamlined approach ensures you have more control and predictability over your inventory costs, allowing you to plan more effectively for your business.
Final Thoughts
At Prep By Me, we’re always looking for ways to improve our services and deliver greater value to you. This A2A policy is a step towards greater operational consistency, clarity, and efficiency.
If you have any questions or need further clarification on how the new A2A policy affects you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Thank you for your continued trust in Prep By Me!
