The Truth About Seller Fulfilled Prime: 3PL Challenges and Overcoming ThemLet’s get real: Amazon’s Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) isn’t just another shipping program. SFP is a logistics trial by fire. 2-day nationwide delivery required Same-day pick, pack, and ship expectations Strict SLA metrics, order cutoffs, and OTDR protections Only 3 trial attempts per year (starting June 2025) Most 3PLs say they can support SFP, but many don’t have the infrastructure, experience, or compliance controls to back it up. In this article, we’ll go over what exactly SFP is, why it’s so difficult to achieve for many 3PLs, and what it takes to offer Seller Fulfilled Prime well. What Is Seller Fulfilled...
Advantages of Amazon FBM and Choosing Your StrategyFulfilled by Merchant (FBM) means you fulfill Amazon orders yourself—or through a partner—rather than using Amazon’s FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) program. You store the inventory. You ship the orders. You handle the experience. And you keep the control—and often, more margin. For years, FBM was seen as the “backup plan” to FBA. But that narrative is changing—fast. Smart brands are using FBM to unlock speed, profit, and operational flexibility that Amazon simply can’t offer. The Big Advantages of FBM (That Most Sellers Ignore) Here’s what brands are waking up to: 1. Lower Fulfillment Fees = Higher Margins FBA fees keep climbing—storage, removals,...

But with the right tools, systems, platforms, and partners in place, going global doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be a smooth and strategic step toward even greater...
Customs Brokerage vs. Freight Forwarder: What’s the Difference and When to Use EachIf you’re importing products for Amazon FBA or DTC fulfillment, you’ll encounter two key logistics partners: freight forwarders and customs brokers. While they both play essential roles in getting your goods across borders, their functions are distinctly different. Confusing the two—or working without one—can lead to customs delays, compliance issues, and unexpected costs. In this guide, we’ll break down what each party does, when you need them, and how they work together to keep your supply chain running smoothly. What Is a Freight Forwarder? A freight forwarder is a logistics partner that manages the end-to-end transportation of your goods across international...
ESG Compliance in Supply Chain: How 3PLs Are Helping Brands Meet Sustainability GoalsToday, sustainability is less a trend and more a necessity.

Scaling Across Markets: How Multi-channel Brands Leverage LogisticsOnline transactions make up 20% of retail sales. Even with the eCommerce boom though, physical store sales are still on the rise.

Duties vs. Tariffs Duties and tariffs both mean taxes governments slap on imports. They protect...
FDA Customs Clearance for SupplementsIf you’re shipping dietary supplements into the U.S., you’re not just clearing “customs.” You’re stepping into the FDA’s regulatory minefield, and it can blow up your entire supply chain if you’re not prepared. Whether you’re an Amazon FBA seller scaling fast, or running your own DTC brand, one misstep with FDA import rules can mean delays, refused entries, or the literal destruction of your goods on arrival. Here’s how to avoid customs nightmares, inventory seizures, and five-figure fines on your next import to keep your inventory flowing. What Exactly Counts as a Supplement?
