About AMZ Prep
The name comes from where we started: prepping Amazon FBA shipments in a Brampton basement in 2016. Today a large share of the brands we ship for are Shopify and DTC brands, many of them selling on Walmart, TikTok Shop and in retail too, and some never touch Amazon at all. We run 50 plus fulfillment centers in six countries, we have never taken outside capital, and we price to win on cost: our scale across 5,000 plus brands buys carrier and freight rates a single brand rarely gets on its own.

From a Basement to a Global Fulfillment Network
In 2016, Blair Forrest was helping brands grow on Amazon when he ran into a problem that nobody was solving well: logistics. Third party providers did not understand FBA compliance rules. Boxes were delayed. Labels were wrong. Costs piled up. And no one was building infrastructure specifically for brands that lived online.
Instead of outsourcing the problem, Blair solved it himself. He set up racks in his basement, started prepping shipments manually, and made it his mission to build a logistics company designed from the ground up for ecommerce sellers.
That basement operation became AMZ Prep.
From Amazon Roots to Omnichannel Reach
As AMZ Prep's merchants grew, so did their requirements. They did not just need Amazon FBA prep. They needed end to end logistics across every channel: Walmart, Target, Shopify, DTC, retail, and global ecommerce.
In just a few years, AMZ Prep scaled from one location to a network of 50 plus warehouses across North America and Europe, backed by a team of 280 plus fulfillment professionals. The company built proprietary technology including its own WMS, a custom prep management system, and Prep Parcel, a multi carrier shipping platform with 35 plus carriers and zero tech fees.
The entire operation was funded through reinvested revenue. No outside capital. No venture funding. No shortcuts. Growth earned through operational excellence and client results.
A Day Inside AMZ Prep's Toronto Fulfillment Center
This is what a working day looks like at AMZ Prep's Toronto facility: warehouse tours, packaging workflows, partner meetings and a live webinar, with the people who run them. The Canadian warehousing team walks through pick and pack, long-term storage, protective packaging and FNSKU labeling on the floor.
Every client gets the same process and the same care, whether it is a small brand or a large enterprise seller. Inventory is received within 24 to 48 hours of delivery, orders received by 3 PM local time ship the same day, and order accuracy runs at 99.8%.

Full Stack Fulfillment, Every Channel
Amazon prep is where we started, not where we stopped. The same team, warehouses and inventory pool run a Shopify store's DTC orders, a Walmart replenishment, a retail purchase order and an FBA inbound, so a brand that adds a channel adds work for us, not another vendor for them.
