Walmart Fulfillment Services rewards sellers who show up labeled and cartonized to spec — and refuses the ones who wing it. ProShip3PL preps your WFS-bound inventory in Medley, FL: item labels applied and scan-verified, cartons built to Walmart's current requirements, shipments out in 24–48 hours. And because FBA prep runs on the same floor, one stock pool can feed both marketplaces.
Walmart's marketplace has become the standard second act for Amazon sellers: real order volume, thinner competition on many listings, and a fulfillment program that puts the buy-box mechanics on your side. But WFS enrollment comes with a compliance layer of its own — item labeling, carton construction and shipment documentation that resemble FBA's just enough to get careless warehouses in trouble.
The failure pattern is predictable. A seller extends their Amazon habits to Walmart, a prep provider applies FBA logic to a WFS carton, and the shipment hits a Walmart facility looking almost right. Almost right earns check-in delays, compliance flags and rework — precisely during the launch window when a new Walmart listing needs stock the most.
Our answer is procedural, not heroic. WFS and FBA run as separate lanes on our floor, each with its own checklist, and every WFS shipment is prepped from the labels and plan Walmart generates for your account that week. We don't memorize requirements that Walmart may revise; we build each shipment to the document that defines it.
The larger prize is upstream. Inventory sits on our racks as one unlabeled pool until a marketplace claims it — so a single container from your supplier can become WFS stock, FBA stock and reserve in whatever ratio your sales dictate this month. The dual-channel table below shows how that plays out in practice.
| WFS prep task | How our lane handles it |
|---|---|
| Item labeling | Applied from your Walmart shipment plan, every unit scan-verified |
| Protective prep | Poly bags with suffocation warnings, bubble, shrink — as the product demands |
| Carton build | Packed and labeled to Walmart's current WFS requirements at ship time |
| Receiving | Cartons to 53 ft containers counted against PO, damage photographed |
| Turnaround | 24–48 hours from shipment plan to carrier handoff |
| What stays yours | Seller Center account, listings and shipment creation — we never log in for you |
Every unit gets the label your Walmart shipment plan calls for, scanned after application so mislabels die on our floor, not at a Walmart dock.
Carton contents, weights and labels built to Walmart's current WFS requirements — checked at pack-out, not assumed from last quarter's rules.
Poly bagging with warning print, bubble wrap and shrink for units that need armor before they enter Walmart's network.
Containers, LCL and air arrivals counted against your PO with photographed damage reports before anything is committed to WFS.
Stock racks unlabeled until claimed, so the same production run splits between WFS and FBA on your schedule — storage billed only for space used.
Direct-to-buyer shipping from our racks keeps your Walmart listings alive when WFS stock runs out — the same way we ship eBay and FBM orders.
| Decision | Split at the factory | Split at our racks |
|---|---|---|
| When you commit units | Months ahead, on a forecast | Days ahead, on actual sales |
| Wrong-guess penalty | One channel starves while the other sits | Reallocate: relabel and reship from reserve |
| Labeling | Pre-labeled for one marketplace forever | Applied per shipment, either format |
| A Walmart surge | Wait for the next production run | Pull reserve into a WFS shipment in 24–48h |
| An Amazon capacity cut | Overflow has nowhere to go | Overflow keeps selling through Walmart |
Sellers who treat Walmart as a full second engine rather than a listing experiment usually pair this page with our 3PL for FBA sellers guide — the storage, replenishment and returns layer both marketplaces sit on.
You build the shipment in Seller Center and send us the plan and label files; we check them against the physical stock.
The allocated quantity is pulled from your pool — or received fresh off your inbound freight and inspected first.
Item labels applied and scan-verified, protective prep added, cartons packed and labeled to the plan.
The finished WFS shipment leaves within 24–48 hours, and you get confirmation of exactly what shipped.
Usually a carton or label detail carried over from FBA habits. We prep strictly from the current shipment plan, and when something in the plan conflicts with the physical goods, you hear about it before the truck does.
Guessing the channel mix months out is how one marketplace ends up overstocked while the other goes dark. Land the whole run on our racks and split it per shipment, using this month's sales instead of last quarter's forecast.
That shortcut is where chargebacks come from. Here WFS is its own lane with its own pack-out checklist — the two marketplaces share your inventory, never a prep procedure.
With reserve sitting in Medley, a restock is a shipment plan away: pull, prep and hand to the carrier in 24–48 hours — while seller-fulfilled orders from our racks keep the listing breathing in the meantime.
We receive your supplier freight in Medley, FL, count it against your PO, apply item-level labels per your Walmart shipment plan with scan verification, add protective prep like poly bags or bubble where the product needs it, build cartons to Walmart's current WFS requirements, apply carton labels, and hand the shipment to the carrier — typically within 24–48 hours.
We prep to the shipment plan and labels Walmart generates in your Seller Center account, not to a memorized rulebook — that way every WFS shipment reflects whatever Walmart requires the week it ships. Where a product needs judgment calls, like fragile or liquid prep, we flag it and confirm with you before the cartons close.
That is the setup most of our WFS clients run. Your stock sits on our racks as a single unlabeled pool; when Amazon needs units they get FNSKU labels and FBA cartons, and when Walmart needs units the same product gets WFS labels and Walmart-compliant cartons. You decide the split shipment by shipment instead of at the factory.
They differ enough to cause chargebacks and check-in delays when a warehouse treats them as interchangeable — label formats, carton documentation and portal workflows are each marketplace's own. Our floor runs them as two distinct prep lanes with separate checklists, so a Walmart-bound carton never leaves dressed like an Amazon one.
Because your inventory sits here unprepped until a WFS shipment is created, a requirement change usually costs nothing — units get labeled and cartonized to whatever the shipment plan says on prep day. If already-prepped stock is affected, we relabel or rework it as a standard service rather than sending you a problem.
Yes. We receive 20–53 ft containers, LCL and air freight at our Medley dock, about 25 minutes from PortMiami. Cartons are counted against your PO with photographed damage reporting, then the quantity you allocate to Walmart is prepped into WFS shipments while the balance racks as reserve for FBA or later replenishment.
Yes — seller-fulfilled Walmart orders can ship direct to your buyers from the same racks that feed WFS. Sellers use this two ways: as their permanent setup for slower SKUs, and as a safety net that keeps Walmart listings live whenever WFS stock runs dry.
Our standard turnaround is 24–48 hours from the moment your Walmart shipment plan and labels reach us, assuming stock is already on our racks. Inbound freight that needs receiving first adds the receiving step, which is counted and reported the day it arrives.
We will be straight about the division of labor: your Walmart account, listings and shipment creation stay on your side, because we don't operate seller accounts. On our side, we walk you through what to send us from Seller Center, sanity-check the plan against the physical goods, and tell you before shipping if something looks likely to be refused.
If your goods arrive through PortMiami, Port Everglades or MIA airport, prepping here means the container is opened, inspected and split between Walmart and Amazon minutes from where it landed — no cross-country truck before the first unit is sellable. For import-driven sellers, the geography does real work.
Send your SKU count, monthly WFS volume and whether FBA runs alongside it through the form. Pricing is per unit with no setup fee and no monthly minimum, and the rate sheet comes back within one business day.
Tell us your SKU count, monthly WFS volume and how freight reaches Florida. We'll return per-unit WFS prep pricing within one business day — and if FBA, storage or direct orders should share the pool, we'll price the whole picture at once.
