Let’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...

AmazonRacks in a warehouse with items on them ready for merchant fulfillmentAdvantages of Amazon FBM and Choosing Your Strategy

Fulfilled 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,...

If you’re importing products for Amazon FBA or DTC fulfillment, you’ll encounter two key logistics partners: freight forwarders and customs brokers.
