Amazon FBA Freight Forwarding & Logistics Services

What is Amazon FBA?

FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is Amazon’s logistics program where sellers store their inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Amazon then takes care of warehousing, order processing, picking, packing, shipping, and even customer service.
For sellers, this means faster Prime-eligible delivery, improved visibility in Amazon search rankings, and higher customer trust. However, shipping inventory to Amazon’s warehouses requires strict compliance with Amazon’s packaging, labeling, and delivery guidelines.
A reliable freight forwarding and logistics partner ensures your products are delivered to the right Amazon Fulfillment Center (FC) on time, in compliance with Amazon’s requirements.
