The Benefits of Using Our Oregon-Based Prep Center for Your Business

Accuracy,efficiency and speed are key factors to survive the ever-competitive business world. As an E-Commerce business owner, you understand the challenges and complexities of managing inventory and order fulfillment. Customers expect their orders to arrive on time and in perfect condition, and meeting those expectations is crucial for your business’s
success. That’s where a trusted prep center such as Stock and Ship comes into play.

Stock and Ship was founded by FBA sellers who were able to grow their FBA business exponentially. Unable to find the right warehousing partner, they opened Stock and Ship. Stock and Ship was built by FBA sellers to assist fellow FBA sellers. Our company has acquired over 15 years of experience in warehousing and inventory management. Our Oregon-based center is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a reliable and experienced prep center for your business. Stock and Ship is strategically located in West Coast Oregon, which allows the following benefits:

Sales tax relief

Businesses should be aware that renting space in a public warehouse located in a state where they otherwise do not have a physical presence or engaging a common carrier to store and process shipments in such a state will generally create sufficient nexus for the purpose of imposing a sales and use tax collection obligation on its sales (e.g., California). However, Oregon has an exemption for inventory stored in a public warehouse shipped directly to customers outside the state. If you choose Stock and Ship, you benefit from the sales tax relief. The money you save can be invested in other income-generating endeavors for your company.

Accessibility

Our Oregon-based prep center is strategically located near major transportation hubs, including the Portland International Airport and major highways. This means that your products can be shipped quickly and efficiently, reducing transit time and ensuring that your customers receive their orders promptly. Note that, while Stock and Ship is proximal to the Port of Portland, the Longshoremen issue prevents sea vessels and containers from docking at this port. The usual options to get your goods to us are importing them to the Seattle Port or the Long Beach Port and then transferring them by freight or rail to our warehouse. Shipping to Seattle port is a more cost-effective option.

Smart Choice

Choosing Stock and Ship’s Oregon-based prep center means partnering with a team of experienced professionals committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service. With our strategic location, efficient order processing, comprehensive services, competitive pricing, and personalized support, we are the ideal choice for the warehousing and inventory needs of your FBA business.
