Does AMZ Prep Have a Warehouse in Arizona?
No. AMZ Prep does not run a fulfillment center in Arizona. Arizona brands ship from AMZ Prep in California, Nevada and Utah, and most of them never need a warehouse inside the state to reach their customers on time.
California and Nevada both border Arizona, and Utah is just north. Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff sit in the same Southwest ground zones an in-state warehouse would use.
AMZ Prep is best for brands that sell on Amazon plus Shopify, retail or other marketplaces and want every channel shipped from one inventory pool.

- Own customs team for import paperwork
- Freight saves 20 to 25% on average against national brokers
- FBA prep before stock moves into Amazon's network
