Have you heard about the failed Cherry Express run? Chile shipped about $60 to $130 million worth of cherries to China, but the shipment was delayed in the Pacific Ocean and arrived 28 days late. Even though the cherries were kept cold the entire time, many of them still spoiled and were rejected once they got there. Thankfully, some of the cargo was still in good enough condition to be salvaged, giving Chilean exporters at least a little room to negotiate. Now, imagine if there were no cold chain system in place at all. Sure, the loss was already massive, but...

Fulfillment and LogisticsShipping containers at the portWhat Is Drayage? The Critical Link Between Ports and Your Fulfillment Pipeline

If you’re importing goods and selling on Amazon or your own DTC site, drayage isn’t just another logistics term — it’s your first mile of fulfillment. When your containers arrive at U.S. ports, the clock starts ticking. Delays mean detention fees. Confusion means inventory bottlenecks. Drayage is the short-distance movement of cargo — from port to warehouse — and if it’s not fast, clean, and compliant, your entire supply chain suffers. That’s where MyFBAPrep comes in. What Is Drayage, Exactly? Drayage is the short-haul transport of shipping containers from ports and rail yards to their next stop: a prep facility, 3PL...

AmazonAn Amazon prime truck on the roadAmazon Raises the Bar on SFP: Time to Rethink Your Playbook

On June 29, 2025, Amazon quietly recalibrated its Seller-Fulfilled Prime (SFP) and Priority Shipping Options (PSO). If you’re not ready to adapt at speed, your margins are already under pressure. What Just Changed—and Why It Matters 1. Streamlined Trial Management Amazon isn’t messing around with sluggish onboarding or vague probation periods anymore. SFP trial rules are tightened—and it’s zero tolerance for underperformers. If your system isn’t built for scale, Amazon won’t wait for you to catch up. 2. Raised Performance Bars for Active SFP Sellers The baseline performance you ran with is being reset. Amazon is ramping up expectations—this isn’t just...

AmazonHats with different colorsAmazon Is Retiring Variation Themes — Here’s What It Means for FBA Prep Operators

Amazon’s handing down a seismic shift—from September 2 to November 30, 2025, deprecated variation themes are being purged from seller templates. Themes flagged “Deprecated: Do Not Use” will block edits to pricing, titles, bullets, and keywords while remaining live (just untouchable). You’ll see the error: “the value specified is invalid.” Why This Matters for FBA Prep You’re not just moving boxes—you’re architecting scalable operations. Variation themes peeling out under Q4 pressure means no redesigns in October, no fixes during peak season. It’s a vulnerability that cripples both listing agility and customer visibility.
