When I started working with fast-growing brands, I quickly learned that packaging touches everything: your unit economics, fulfillment throughput, conversion rates, and even how buyers judge your professionalism.

Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program can streamline your eCommerce logistics, but not without hidden costs and bottlenecks. One of the biggest pain points for sellers is inbound placement fees and long check-in delays.
