Why Mansfield inventory routes north, not through Dallas
You can find a building anywhere. What a Mansfield brand at volume needs is a floor that runs on your Seller Central shipment plan and tells you the truth about your inventory, including the bad news.
Mansfield sits at the southeast edge of the metroplex, on the Tarrant and Johnson county line where US-287 and the I-20 corridor feed north into Fort Worth. Our facility at 1925 Golden Heights Rd, Suite 200 is in far north Fort Worth near Alliance, so most Mansfield sellers route inventory up the 287 and Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor rather than crossing central Dallas. If you are receiving wholesale cases or private label production into a Mansfield home base or a leased unit off Heritage Parkway, that inventory reaches us by parcel or by appointed LTL on a single run up 287.
Proximity is the easy part. At 3,000 units a month and up, the FNSKU labeling, the case-pack compliance, and the shipment plans take the hours that should go to buying and selling. Marketplace Prep was built by a seller who ran 6,000+ SKUs and more than 200,000 units on Amazon, so FBA rules are operational knowledge here rather than a help article. Our software builds and executes your shipment plan straight out of Seller Central, and your account gets a dedicated WhatsApp group, so you can ask what is happening with a pallet without opening a ticket.
Getting your inventory from Mansfield onto our floor
Four ways inventory gets from Mansfield onto our floor, and what each one asks of you.
Parcel
UPS, FedEx, and USPS deliveries need no appointment. Ship from a Mansfield home base or a leased unit and the boxes enter receiving as they land.
Pallet and LTL
Scheduled appointment required. Book the window with us before the carrier dispatches, so a truck is not sitting at the door without a slot. This is the lane for wholesale cases and private label production arriving direct from a supplier.
Driving it up yourself
Our client-facing receiving window is 9 AM to 3 PM CST, Monday through Friday. Most Mansfield sellers never make the drive, but the door is open inside that window.
Outbound to Amazon
We book Amazon Freight through the Amazon Freight portal, coordinate LTL, generate the BOL, and schedule carrier pickup from our Fort Worth facility, so you are not chasing carriers from Mansfield.
Who this is built for
Mansfield has grown into a base for sellers who started in a spare room and now move real volume. That is the seller this floor is set up for.
A fit
- Mansfield and southeast Tarrant County brands shipping 3,000+ units a month who have outgrown prepping out of a garage or a small leased unit.
- Wholesale sellers moving case-pack inventory, which has grown here since Amazon ended its own prep service.
- Private label brands that want custom packaging, inserts, kitting, and quality assurance handled on the same floor as the FBA prep.
- Sellers running Shopify, WooCommerce, or Amazon merchant-fulfilled orders alongside FBA who can integrate with ShipHero.
Questions Mansfield sellers ask
Where is Marketplace Prep located relative to Mansfield, TX?
Our facility is at 1925 Golden Heights Rd, Suite 200, Fort Worth, TX 76177, in far north Fort Worth near the Alliance area. Most Mansfield sellers route inventory north through the US-287 and Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor. You do not need to drop off in person; the majority of our Mansfield clients send inventory by parcel carrier or by appointed LTL pickup.
Can I drop off inventory from Mansfield, or do I have to ship it?
Both work. You can ship inventory to us by parcel through UPS, FedEx, or USPS with no appointment required, or arrange an appointed pallet or LTL delivery. If you prefer to drive it up from Mansfield yourself, our client-facing receiving window is 9 AM to 3 PM CST, Monday through Friday. Pallet and LTL deliveries require a scheduled appointment.
What volume is this built for?
We are built for sellers moving 3,000 or more units a month, which is where the work makes sense on both sides. There is a floor of 500 units a month, and between 500 and 3,000 we look at it case by case, because at that size SKU complexity tells us more than the unit count does. Below the floor with no growth behind it, we are not the right call.
Do you handle wholesale and private label, or only standard FBA prep?
FBA prep, wholesale prep, and private label prep, plus DTC fulfillment and freight booking. Wholesale volume has grown since Amazon discontinued its own prep service after January 2026.
Do my case packs have to be the manufacturer’s original cases?
No. A case pack built on our floor is declared case-packed in your shipment plan the same as a sealed manufacturer case. The rules that do bind are the ones inside the case: one SKU and one condition per case, every case in the shipment carrying the same unit count, and no more than 150 units in a case. If inventory arrives loose or in mixed cases, building it into compliant case packs is part of the work.
How do you handle box contents in Send to Amazon?
It is set by lane, not by habit. Every LTL and pallet shipment we build uses pack later, so box contents are declared once the pallet is actually built and confirmed. Every small parcel shipment packs first, with contents supplied up front. Getting those two backwards is a steady source of reconciliation work later, so we fix it at the front.
What box limits do you prep to?
A standard FBA inbound box tops out at 36 inches long by 25 wide by 25 high, and 50 pounds. The 36-inch length has been current since June 2025, when it rose from 25 inches; width and height did not change with it. A single unit longer than 36 inches can ship in an oversize box, which may then run up to 65 pounds and no further.
How will I hear from you about my inventory?
WhatsApp, in a group created for your account at onboarding. Receiving confirmations, discrepancies, and the day-to-day questions all live there, because it is the channel that actually gets read during a working day. Email carries the formal items: service agreement, invoices, and BOLs.
