Summary: Whats up Empire!<br> Joshua Woodward here, <br> how many hours do you think you have spent shipping products out of your house? I could never count it. What if there was a better way?<br> If you have been in the industry for a while im sure you have heard about fulfillment centers or packing warehouse. For those of you who have not, let me break this down. <br> When you find goods with online arbitrage and or you are ready to ship over your newly produced private label products you need somewhere to drop these products off too. <br> If you are anything like me the last thing on earth you want it 3,000 brand new units being dropped off on your driveway. Fulfillment centers start by giving you a place to drop these goods off too. <br> The next step is getting the products out of the manufacturers boxes or out of the Walmart boxes, stickers taken off, then FBA stickers on and put into their correct boxes to be shipped. Yup you guessed it Fulfillment centers do that all for you. <br> Next you will need to ship those boxes out. I have a truck but i still end up making multiple stops.<br> That is the beauty of a fulfillment center all of these incredibly frustrating and time consuming processes are completely taken care of. <br> Empire…..stop wasting your time shipping boxes to Amazon, just let a fulfillment center do it for you. <br> If you want to know about Brenden and his fulfillment company go to, http://primezeroprep.com/<br> And to let them know you heard about Prime Zero Prep from our show use the promo code – empire <br> Thank you so much for tuning in and until next time, <br> Have a great day!<br> – Transcription below – <br> Joshua Woodward:<br> What's up Online Empire Academy? Joshua Woodward here. Today we're talking to Brenden Sullivan from Prime Zero Prep, and I'm really excited. I just got a chance to talk to Nate McAlister. I hope you guys listen to that podcast. It's awesome, if you haven't. He had talked about kind of the use of online arbitrage and a prepping company. This is a concept I've heard about before and something that I've looked into, but I haven't done it yet. I wanted to have Brenden on just to kind of talk through what it is that they do but also why it's going to help our businesses.<br> First, I want to hear your story, man. How are you doing?<br> Brenden :<br> I'm doing great, man. I appreciate you having me on today.<br> Joshua Woodward:<br> Absolutely. I'm excited. I'm excited to learn more about this. Tell me your story and how you got started with this.<br> Brenden :<br> Sure. I've always been involved in the … Well, I don't want to say always, but for a while now I've been selling online prior to jumping into the prep side of the world. Before we started Prime Zero Prep, which was early last year, I sold online in various platforms; eBay was where I started. I was doing that for about. I was doing that for about ten years part-time. I always had a full-time job while juggling eBay. About three and a half years ago I transitioned into Amazon because I was just fulfilling too many items on the eBay platform by myself. It became a struggle to balance that plus my full-time job. I wasn't ready to jump in with two feet at this point in my life.<br> FBA seemed like the perfect transition to kind of scale my business in the direction it was going without dedicating myself full-time to the business. I ended up taking a few courses, and it's funny … I actually took a course that Dean was part of. That was one of the first courses I ever took that was in relation to Amazon FBA. It's funny because I haven't talked to or heard about Dean in a while because I've kind of gone away from the pulse of Amazon because I'm doing the prep side of the business now. It's kind of interesting to see it come back full circle and be interviewed by Dean and his team, obviously, knowing that you guys are a partnership on this academy...
