The situation

FBA is a channel, not a warehouse strategy

Pushing every unit into FBA works until restock limits, storage fees or a listing issue leaves inventory you own stranded outside your control.
  • Restock limits leaving stock with nowhere to go.
  • Prep rejected at the fulfillment centre for labelling or packaging.
  • Long-term storage fees on units that stopped moving.
  • No way to ship FBM when FBA runs out or a listing is restricted.
  • Multi-Channel Fulfillment used for your own store, expensively and off-brand.
  • Your contract manufacturer cannot prep to Amazon's spec.

What we run

What we run for Amazon sellers

FBA prep and forwarding

FNSKU labelling, polybagging, sealing and bundling to Amazon's requirements before it ships in.

Buffer inventory

Hold the balance of a container here and release into FBA against restock limits rather than shipping and hoping.

FBM fulfillment

Merchant-fulfilled orders shipped from the same units, so a restriction is not a stockout.

An MCF alternative

Your own store's orders shipped from here, usually cheaper and in your own packaging.

Container receiving

Inbound straight from your factory into a US position that serves every channel.

QA before it enters the network

A defect caught here costs a fraction of the same defect caught as an Amazon return.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Not covered here? Ask us directly and you will get a specific answer rather than a brochure.

Ask a question
Can you be my FBA prep centre?
Yes. Since Amazon discontinued its own prep and labelling service, inventory has to arrive shelf-ready, and that work happens here.
Can you ship FBM from the same stock?
Yes, and it is the main argument for holding inventory outside FBA rather than pushing it all in.
Is this cheaper than MCF?
Usually, and more controllable, but it depends heavily on your package profile. We will not claim a comparison without your real dimensions.
Do you handle Transparency labels?
Being confirmed for publication. Ask us directly.
