How long do FBA/WFS onboarding and prep take?

Amazon FBA and Walmart WFS account setup normally takes 1 to 2 business days after the agreement, required information, and marketplace connection are complete.

Prep turnaround begins after inventory is physically delivered, checked in, and reconciled. The completion date depends on unit count, prep services, product condition, receiving discrepancies, shipment-plan availability, and carrier scheduling. Large or specialized projects may require additional time.

PrepFort will confirm the expected schedule for each shipment rather than applying a blanket turnaround guarantee. Your signed agreement controls any account-specific service level.
