This is our specialty. We’re one of the few prep centers in the country built around the complex, high-touch needs of booksellers. From detailed inspection to accurate grading and efficient FBA shipment, we move over 10 tons of used books per week—and we do it right.
I knew if I wanted to make money selling books, I had to jump in and start buying. However, I didn't realize what a time-consuming hassle it was to prep the books, label them, list them, pack them and haul them to be shipped to Amazon! When I heard about Central Virginia Prep, it was a no-brainer! I happily pay them their small fee per book to do all that!
I've now made over $1700 in net profit in just a couple of months and feel like this is a business I can actually grow. Finding this prep service was essential for me, and has made a huge difference.
I wanted to send you comments on my experience with your company to date. I have been working with your firm for approx. three months and I am very satisfied with the timeliness and professionalism of Central Virginia Prep.
The process has been easy to adopt to and the few issues that I have had have been handled quickly and efficiently. I looked at other prep services initially but I am very pleased I decided to work with Central Virginia Prep.
As a seller based in Thailand a prep service was a must for me, but having now used the service it would be a must for me even if I was based in the US due to the time and hassle it saves.
From the start Shanna has been nothing but helpful, and extremely approachable. She replied to my 'noob' questions in depth and realising that I wasn't based in the US took the time to explain the intricacies of a problem that came up that I wouldn't have had a clue about having not dealt with the USPS before.
I was slightly concerned about getting my account set up as not everything is easy when you're an international seller but it was all laid out for me in the first email and after that the process is very simple, all you have to do is copy and paste the details for the book into a spreadsheet and then wait for it to arrive at their warehouse. The rest is all done for you.
I decided to use a prep service because I am in the UK and need someone to receive, prepare, send and list my items to Amazon USA.
I have used Prep services before but it is very much a “suck it and see” situation and it is not possible to assess the quality of a service until a few months have passed, and mistakes can be expensive.
CVAP have a very logical system that is easy to follow, and unlike the previous Prep service I used which was very impersonal, there is someone there that answers your questions personally.
The staff at CVAP have taught me a few new things too.

When you never see the goods you sell, you need a logistics partner you can trust—one who treats your inventory like their own.
We’ve been working with Amazon FBA sellers since 2011, and expanded into full-service warehousing in 2017. Our job isn’t just slapping labels on boxes—it’s helping you run your business with confidence, accuracy, and visibility.
You shouldn’t have to become a logistics expert just to scale. That’s our job.
We support sellers with practical guidance, clear communication, and process improvements tailored to your specific operation—so you can focus on sourcing and selling, not firefighting.
We run our warehouse on Open Book Management, training every team member to think like an owner. That means better judgment, better morale, and zero tolerance for the “not my problem” mindset.
On the tech side, we’ve built proprietary systems to give you live inventory visibility, accurate prep tracking, and seamless shipment creation—because logistics should feel like leverage, not a liability.
