Finding a trustworthy FBA book prep center is tough, right?
It seems like there are more people doing online book arbitrage than there are prep centers to accommodate them… so it can be tough finding one accepting new clients.
To help you find a prep service as quickly as possible, I contacted dozens of FBA prep services and asked them if they accepted used books.
These 10 prep centers all responded and told me that they were fully equipped to process used books for Amazon FBA.
1. Central Virginia Prep
I’ve used this prep service in the past, and I highly recommend them. They were professional and quick to process every batch I sent them.

If all of these prep centers are full, don’t worry. There are almost certainly others.
Here are a couple of ways to find them:

- Search for “FBA Prep Centers” on Google and contact any missing from the list in the previous link.
