What Are AMZ Prep Freight Services?

Instead of coordinating 3 to 5 vendors across the supply chain, brands work with one provider from factory to shelf. AMZ Prep handles ocean freight (FCL and LCL), air freight, ISF filing, US customs clearance, duty payment, labeling, and final delivery across 50 plus US and Canada locations.
The freight program is led by a dedicated freight team with over 10 years of supply chain experience and regional carrier partnerships that consistently deliver 20 to 25 percent cost savings over national brokers. Every shipment includes live tracking, automated status updates, and a single point of contact from pickup to Amazon check in.
