-Typically, a wholesale supplier will send everything in one clearly marked shipment a prep center can easily identify. 
  
 Prep centers are often receiving hundreds or thousands of shipments per day, so shipments that aren't clearly marked and received all together can be time consuming to sort. That's a leading cause behind delays and higher costs for OA. Prep centers are often receiving hundreds or thousands of shipments per day, so shipments that aren't clearly marked and received all together can be time consuming to sort.

-Typically, a well-marked wholesale shipment can be quickly sorted and identified, so processing can begin within a couple days.+While wholesale shipments typically arrive all at once in clearly marked, similarly-packaged deliveries, OA shipments often don't. Most prep centers can efficiently sort and begin processing wholesale deliveries within a couple business days.
  
-OA shipments take longer to sort, and they rarely arrive together. The prep center has to sort and store them for several days, sometimes more than a week, before processing can start. That adds extra room for error and delays, as well as takes up floor space the prep center would otherwise use for faster-moving wholesale orders.+However, for OA shipments the prep center has to sort and store them for several days, sometimes more than a week, before processing can start.

 Few prep centers have technology like Logistics Done Right, which enables them to scan every package coming in the door and instantly route it to the correct service line. Few prep centers have technology like Logistics Done Right, which enables them to scan every package coming in the door and instantly route it to the correct service line.

 +===== Extra processing because of consumer packaging =====
 +
 +OA deliveries are typically packaged for consumers. That means they often include extra promotional materials, fliers, and invoices that wouldn't be included with wholesale orders. Typically, these extra materials and packaging have to be removed before the inventory can go into FBA, which may be an added cost.

 +==== Ask your prep center if they can identify using tracking numbers ====

 +If your prep center can identify shipments by tracking, and you're able to provide it in advance, you might be able to get faster service and a better deal.
