Cutler Bay sellers tend to buy locally and prep at home — clearance runs through the Southland corridor, online buys landing on the porch, labeling squeezed in around everything else. Our Medley dock is 40 to 45 minutes north up the Turnpike. Drive the haul up, or have it delivered to us directly; either way it is counted, labeled, packed and moving to FBA inside 24 to 48 hours.
The town has changed shape fast. What was a bedroom community off Old Cutler Road now carries a working commercial spine along US-1, and behind it a layer of small e-commerce operators: resellers, a few brand owners, plenty of people running arbitrage as a second income out of a spare room.
That mix produces a specific bottleneck. Sourcing is easy here; sorting is not. A good clearance week fills a car, and then the units sit at home waiting for someone to count, match, label and box them, usually the same person who found them.
Moving that step to a warehouse changes the shape of the week. Our dock receives cartons from your trunk, parcels a retailer shipped for you, or pallets a wholesaler sent — logs each against your list, photographs anything damaged, applies and scan-verifies FNSKU labels, and bags or bundles to listing requirements.
Storage is part of it. Arbitrage buying is lumpy, and the deal worth taking is often bigger than the month can sell. Bin and pallet space is billed monthly on what you occupy, and releases into FBA happen on your trigger — so a good buy stops being a space problem. Per-unit pricing, rate sheet within one business day.
| The Cutler Bay sourcing week now | The same week with a Medley dock |
|---|---|
| Haul lives in the car until the weekend | Unloaded at our counter the afternoon you buy it |
| Counting against receipts at the kitchen table | Line-by-line check-in against your list, with damage photos |
| Retail parcels stacking up at home | Delivered under your account name to a staffed dock |
| Buying capped by where you can stack boxes | Rack space by the bin or pallet, monthly on space used |
| Shipment plans built after a full day elsewhere | Case packing and box content data done on the bench |
Trunk loads, retailer-shipped parcels and wholesale pallets all received on the same dock and logged to your account the day they arrive.
Counted against your scanner export, spreadsheet or receipts — with the discrepancies reported back to you rather than absorbed quietly.
Dented, opened or shopworn units are photographed and flagged before prep, so you decide what ships and what does not.
Labels applied and scan-verified against the listing; poly bags with suffocation warnings, bubble, shrink and expiration-date labels as required.
Multi-unit sets assembled and packaged as one sellable item when the listing calls for it, then labeled as the bundle.
Bins and pallets billed monthly on occupied space, released into FBA within 24 to 48 hours of your trigger as sales pull stock down.
You work the stores or the online deals. Nothing about that changes — except where the units end up that evening.
Drive the haul up the Turnpike or have it delivered. We log it to your account and reconcile against your list.
Condition photos, FNSKU labels with scan verification, bagging, bundling and case packing with box content data.
Cartons go to the carrier within 24 to 48 hours, or the stock parks on our racks until you call for it.
Prep throughput stops capping your sourcing. Hand the haul over and the bench absorbs it while you go back out for the next one.
We photograph questionable units at receiving and report before prep, so a damaged item is your decision — not an Amazon reimbursement case later.
Reroute the ship-to. Our dock signs for deliveries Monday through Friday and matches them to the buy manifests you send us.
Pallet positions are available by the month on occupied space. The deal goes back to being a margin question rather than a floor-space question.
About 40 to 45 minutes in ordinary conditions. Pick up Florida's Turnpike near SW 112th Avenue, run north to the Palmetto (SR 826), and exit for Medley — the dock is at 8871 NW 102nd St. The eastern side of Cutler Bay along Old Cutler Road adds a few minutes getting to the ramp. Northbound midday is the easy window; late afternoon is not.
Yes, as long as you reach us Monday through Friday before 18:00 EST. Sellers working the Southland Mall and US-1 retail corridor often finish a sourcing loop, drive the Turnpike north and unload the same afternoon. We take the haul in at the counter, log it to your account, and the prep clock starts that day instead of after a week in your trunk.
Mixed hauls are counted item by item against whatever list you send — a spreadsheet, a scanner export, even photographed receipts. Anything that arrives dented, opened or shopworn gets photographed and reported to you before it is prepped, so you decide whether it ships, gets bagged differently, or comes off the shipment entirely.
That is how most of our OA clients run. Use 8871 NW 102nd St, Medley, FL 33178 with your account name in the ship-to field and the parcels land on a staffed dock rather than a doorstep in Cutler Bay. Send us the buy manifests and we reconcile arrivals against them as the boxes come in.
None. Billing is per unit with no setup fee and no monthly floor, so a slow month is invoiced as a slow month. Cutler Bay has a lot of one-person operations testing whether the numbers work before they commit, and the pricing model is deliberately built not to punish that stage.
Yes — bin storage for small units and pallet positions for depth, billed monthly on the space actually occupied. Arbitrage buying is lumpy by nature: you find a deal that is worth six months of sell-through. We hold it and release it into FBA in the increments you want, within 24 to 48 hours of your trigger.
A list of SKUs or ASINs with quantities, plus any special handling notes: what needs a poly bag, what needs bundling, what has an expiration date. If you use a prep list from your scanning app, that works as is. If you have nothing written down, we can count from scratch — it just adds time at the receiving end.
We do. The same racked stock can fill FBM orders plus eBay, Etsy, Shopify and Walmart sales, and we prep for Walmart WFS. For a Cutler Bay seller liquidating slow arbitrage units on a second channel, that means one inventory pool instead of splitting stock between our racks and a spare bedroom.
Yes. Removals and returns come back to our dock, get graded on condition, relabeled where they are still sellable, and either go back into an FBA shipment or move to another channel. It saves a Cutler Bay seller from taking delivery of a pallet of returned units at a residential address.
Send the quote form with what you sell, your rough monthly unit count and whether you will drive up or reroute buys. Per-unit rates and receiving instructions come back within one business day. Then either drive the next haul up the Turnpike or change the ship-to on your purchases — most sellers start with whichever is already in progress.
Tell us what you source, roughly how many units move monthly, and whether hauls will be driven up or rerouted to us. Per-unit rates and receiving instructions arrive within one business day.
