The End of Amazon Labeling Services: Why a Third-Party Prep Center is Now Mandatory for FBA Success

Amazon relabeling services in Canada for FBA sellers

In a major policy shift for 2026, Amazon has officially discontinued its in-house FBA Labeling Service for many categories, requiring sellers to ensure all inventory arrives at fulfillment centers with 100% accurate, scannable FNSKU labels already applied.

For international sellers shipping directly from factories to Canada, this change presents a massive hurdle. Without Amazon “fixing” your labels at the dock, non-compliant shipments face the risk of being rejected, sidelined, or hit with heavy “unplanned service” fees.

Here is why partnering with a specialized Canadian Prep Center like Moroprep is no longer optional—it is a business necessity.


1. Compliance is the New Barrier to Entry

Previously, many sellers relied on Amazon’s “Label Service” for a small fee per unit. With this service gone, the burden of compliance falls entirely on the seller. Factory-level labeling is notoriously prone to errors—wrong barcodes, poor print quality, or misplaced stickers.

  • The Moroprep Solution: We act as your final gatekeeper. We inspect factory labels and apply high-quality, thermal-printed FNSKU stickers that are guaranteed to pass Amazon’s 2026 scanning requirements.

2. Avoiding “Inbound Performance” Penalties

Amazon has increased penalties for “Inbound Performance Summary” violations. Shipments with missing or unreadable labels can lead to temporary suspension of shipping privileges.

  • The Moroprep Solution: By routing your inventory through our St. Thomas, Ontario facility first, you ensure that every single unit is “FBA-Ready” before it ever reaches Amazon’s doors.

3. Quality Control at the Local Level

When you ship thousands of miles from an overseas factory, you are flying blind. Defective products or damaged packaging often lead to negative customer reviews that can kill a listing.

  • The Moroprep Solution: While we relabel your items, we also perform a visual inspection. If a box is crushed or a seal is broken, we catch it here in Canada, saving you from a high return rate and a damaged brand reputation.

Efficiency You Can See: The Moroprep Advantage

Conclusion: Future-Proof Your Amazon Business

The discontinuation of Amazon’s labeling service is a signal that the platform is moving toward a more “hands-off” logistics model. Sellers who adapt by securing a reliable 3PL partner will thrive, while those who rely on factory-direct shipping face increasing risks.
