What Is Amazon Private Label?
Amazon private label is a business model where sellers source products from manufacturers and sell under their own brand on Amazon. Sellers own the listing, control pricing, and build long term equity. Average margins range from 25 to 40 percent after fees. That makes it the highest margin selling model on the platform.
The operational foundation of every successful private label business is the same: reliable sourcing, Amazon compliant prep, and fast fulfillment. AMZ Prep provides that foundation for 5,000 plus private label brands across North America.
Why Private Label Sellers Switch to AMZ Prep
Most private label sellers outgrow their current fulfillment setup. These are the 6 problems that bring them to AMZ Prep.
30+ Day FBA Check Ins
Standard LTL inbound takes 15 to 30 days. During Q4, it stretches to 45 plus days. Every day in transit is a day not selling.
Placement Fees Eating Margins
Amazon charges $0.27 to $1.58 per unit in placement fees for non split shipments. On a 5,000 unit order, that is $1,350 to $7,900 in avoidable fees.
Inbound Rejections and Chargebacks
Incorrect FNSKU labels, missing polybags, or wrong case dimensions trigger Amazon rejections. Each rejection adds 2 to 4 weeks to your restock timeline.
Stock Outs Killing Organic Ranking
Running out of stock drops your organic position. Competitors take your sales. When you restock, you start the ranking climb over from a weaker position.
Single Warehouse, Zone 6 to 8 Shipping
Single location fulfillment means expensive zone 6 to 8 shipping for DTC orders. Customers wait longer. Carrier costs are higher.
Manual Shipping Plans and Ticket Queues
Your current 3PL creates shipping plans manually over email. Support runs through ticket queues with 48 plus hour response times. No dedicated team.
