Auto parts don't get second chances: the wrong number on the box is a return before the buyer even opens it. ProShip3PL matches every received part number against your PO at intake, packs dense metal in boxes built for its weight, protects machined and finished surfaces, and grades your Amazon returns so unopened fitment mistakes go back on sale instead of into a write-off pile.
Two oil filters can be identical to the eye and one thread-pitch apart in reality. A supplier substitutes a revision, a picker grabs the neighboring bin, a mislabeled carton slides through — and a buyer discovers the difference under a car on a Saturday. In automotive, every identity error converts to a return at essentially full rate, plus a fitment complaint that follows the ASIN around.
That's why our parts bench starts with numbers, not tape. Received lines are reconciled against the PO by printed part number; mismatches, substitutions and mixed cartons are flagged with photos the day freight lands, while your supplier still has to answer for them.
The physical work follows the category's other signature: density. Rotors, hubs, and bearing sets put serious weight into small cartons, and weak boxes fail at the corners under it. We reinforce or re-box, isolate machined faces, and wrap finished trim so cosmetic surfaces arrive as photographed.
And since Amazon shut its US prep and unit-labeling operation down in January 2026 — with damaged or lost unprepped units excluded from reimbursement — the verification layer sellers used to hope Amazon would backstop simply has to happen before check-in. We are that layer, twelve minutes from the MIA1 facility in Opa-locka.
| Part class | The risk | The bench response |
|---|---|---|
| Fitment-specific parts | Wrong number ships, return guaranteed | PN reconciled against the PO at intake |
| Dense metal (rotors, hubs) | Corner blowouts, surface scoring | Reinforced or replaced cartons, face cushioning |
| Chrome & painted trim | Scratches that fail the eyeball test | Individual wrap before boxing |
| Fluid-adjacent items | Rules vary by exact product | Case-by-case review before ship-in |
| Battery-adjacent SKUs | Chemistry-dependent requirements | Item-level review, plain yes or no |
| Customer returns | Resellable units written off blind | Graded, relabeled, cycled back to FBA |
Printed PNs matched line by line to your PO before labeling begins; substitutions and mixed cartons flagged with same-day photos — the deeper screen lives on our product inspection page.
Heavy parts get carton-strength checks, reinforcement or re-boxing, and cushioning on machined faces so metal doesn't grind metal between here and the buyer.
Chrome, painted and polished components wrapped individually — cosmetic condition is fitment's twin in this category, and both decide the review.
Labels applied clear of the manufacturer's part number and barcode, then scan-verified — the printed PN stays readable because it's the part's identity document.
Removal orders received, each unit graded — unopened, repackable, or done — with sellable stock relabeled and returned to FBA instead of aging in a loss column.
Containers and pallets from overseas suppliers unloaded and reconciled on arrival day — the pipeline described on our China to FBA page carries a lot of parts freight.
Freight unloaded, cartons counted, and part numbers reconciled against the PO — identity settled before anything else starts.
Fluid-adjacent and battery-adjacent SKUs routed to item-level review; mismatched or substituted parts held with photo documentation.
Cartons reinforced for dense loads, finishes wrapped, FNSKUs applied and scan-verified without hiding the manufacturer PN.
Verified stock moves to the carrier in 24–48 hours; returns flow back through grading and the sellable ones re-enter FBA.
Fitment complaints usually trace to identity leaks upstream — substituted revisions, mixed cartons, mislabeled units. PN reconciliation at intake closes the leak at the one point where it's still your supplier's problem.
Factory cartons are often rated for a pallet ride, not a parcel network. We test, reinforce or re-box at the bench, and the corner blowouts — and the damaged-inventory disputes they cause — stop.
Send a removal order our way. We open, grade and sort: a surprising share of auto-parts returns are unopened fitment mistakes, and those go back on sale relabeled instead of liquidated blind.
The intake match caught exactly this last month — same box art, different PN suffix. You found out from our photo report the day it landed, not from a one-star review three weeks later.
Identity first, packaging second. Each received line is checked against your PO at the part-number level — the number on the box, matched to the number you ordered — before any FNSKU goes on. Then parts get packed for their weight class: dense items in reinforced boxes with the label scan-verified, finished surfaces protected, and cleared stock handed off to a truck within 24–48 hours from Medley, FL.
Because in this category a wrong part isn't a disappointment — it's a guaranteed return. A brake pad set for the wrong generation of the same model looks identical in a bin and fails in a driveway, costing you the refund, the return freight, and a fitment complaint on the listing. Verifying the printed part number against the PO at intake is the cheapest point in the entire chain to catch that error.
Yes. Beyond the part-number match, we can open sample cartons and check what's physically inside: casting condition, hardware included, finish undamaged, the right variant in the right box. Auto parts suppliers mix SKUs and substitute revisions more often than most sellers expect, and our product inspection service is built for exactly that pre-FBA screening.
With respect for what fifteen pounds in a small box does to packaging. Dense parts concentrate force at corners and seams, so we check carton strength at intake, tape-reinforce or re-box where the factory carton is tired, and cushion machined faces so parts don't grind against each other in transit. A rotor that arrives scored on its braking surface is a return even though nothing broke.
Case by case. Plenty of automotive items ship with factory grease, assembly lube or oil-damp surfaces, and some — sealed fluid bottles, filled shocks, chemical products — carry rules that depend on the exact item. Send us the specific SKUs before shipping and we'll review each one: some run through the normal bench with barrier bagging, some need conditions, and some we'll decline plainly upfront.
Only after an item-level review. Battery chemistry, size and how the cell ships all change the answer, so we don't give a blanket yes to the category. Share the ASIN and product spec sheet with your quote request; we'll tell you directly which battery-adjacent SKUs fit our workflow and which need a different path.
We grade them, because auto-parts returns hide real money. A large share come back unopened after a fitment mistake by the buyer — the part is fine, the box may not be. Each returned unit gets assessed: sellable ones are relabeled and cycled back into FBA, sound parts in rough boxes get repacked first, and genuinely used or damaged units are documented and set aside for your disposition call.
By keeping bare metal and finished surfaces from touching anything abrasive. Trim pieces, polished covers and machined mating faces get wrapped or bagged individually before boxing, and multi-unit cartons get dividers or wrap between parts. Cosmetic damage is functional damage in this category — a scratched chrome bumper guard fails the buyer's eyeball test before it ever reaches the car.
Yes — containers and palletized freight both. Your forwarder delivers cleared cargo to our Medley dock, 20 to 53 foot containers or LTL pallets, and we unload, reconcile carton counts against the PO, and photograph condition on arrival day. For parts importers the part-number check matters double here, since a factory substitution discovered at our dock is fixable and one discovered by a customer is not.
Tell us the catalog shape: SKU count, monthly units, typical part weight, whether anything is fluid- or battery-adjacent, and whether you want returns grading in the loop. Per-unit pricing arrives inside one business day — zero setup fees, zero minimums — along with flags on any SKU that needs the item-level review.
Give us the catalog outline — SKUs, monthly units, weight range, any fluid- or battery-adjacent items, returns volume. Per-unit auto parts prep rates come back within a single business day.
