Amazon middle mile partner for speed and savings

Hyper Competitive Rates. Faster inbounds. Zero placement fees.

Ship once, and the team does the heavy lifting for you – splitting, prep, routing, and delivering across Amazon’s map at freight-house pricing. Faster check-ins, lower costs, no placement penalties. Just the momentum.

Live inventory in 1 -3 days

Speed wins on Amazon. We operate daily routes to Amazon fulfillment centers across the country, with priority receiving that gets your products checked in while competitors are still waiting in line.

Simple pricing - pay for what you use

One flat rate based on cubic footage. No hidden fees, no zone surcharges, no subscription traps. Ship 10 boxes or 1,000 boxes – pay only for the space truck occupies.

Amazon Middle Mile. Profit stays yours.

Four steps to faster, lower-cost FBA inbounds

Create your shipment like always

Build your FBA shipment in Seller Central the exact same way. Nothing changes on your end – same workflow, same platform.

Route to your nearest cross-dock

50+ facilities across the U.S. and Canada. Ship everything to whichever is closest – Kentucky, Ohio, California, Vegas, New York, Toronto. One shipment. One destination.

Strategic freight consolidation across Amazon’s network

Multiple shipments converge at the cross-dock facility. The logistics team combines freight destined for the same fulfillment centers into full truckloads. This consolidation secures freight-house pricing – pay only for cubic footage used while gaining the cost advantage of complete loads and priority delivery access.

Track as it goes live in 1-3 days

Daily freight departures deliver directly to Amazon fulfillment centers, with inventory going live in 1–3 days. Every shipment is monitored with live tracking and verified through weekly performance reports.

"With Amazon’s inventory restrictions, inbound delays were crushing us—and we were constantly going out of stock. AMZ Prep helped us fix it fast. Their freight program alone has likely saved us seven figures this year in lost sales."

Evan Sheraton, Market Defense

Middle Mile Plus - For products that ship on pallets, not in boxes

Bulky freight needs different handling. We've got you covered.

Pallets stay intact throughout

No breaking down, no repacking, no unnecessary handling. Your products stay secured on pallets from your dock to Amazon’s – reducing damage and labor costs.

Per-pallet pricing

Big products take pallet space, not per-unit slots. Pricing follows the pallet, giving you fair, accurate middle-mile costs.

Flexible fulfillment options

Send full truckloads straight to Amazon. For smaller volumes, pickup coordination handles up to 5 LTL collections from your facility.

If Amazon inbounds stress you out, we can fix that. Enroll our middle mile program today & let us handle the heavy lifting.

Middle Mile Amazon. Pricing that's honest.

Just one flat rate. No zones. No surprises.

Flat rate per cubic foot

Everyone pays the same rate based on space used. Location doesn’t change it. Destination doesn’t change it. Just space.

All-Inclusive

Receiving, compliance verification, freight routing, FC delivery – bundled into one number. Quote equals final price. No surprises.

Built to boost margins

Pallet-based pricing, priority routing, and zero surprise fees. Built specifically to make oversized freight finally profitable.

Behind the scenes: What Happens at AMZ Prep Hub

Intake and Verification

Shipment arrives. Labels verified, Amazon compliance checked. Everything staged before moving to the next phase.

Smart Route Planning

Logistics team maps which FCs need your inventory. Plans fastest, most cost-effective delivery across Amazon’s network.

Load Consolidation Magic

Multiple brands shipping to the same FCs get consolidated into full trucks. This is how costs stay up to 45% lower than standard LTL – fractional shipping on complete loads instead of partial LTL rates.

Daily Departures

Daily departures with complete truckloads secure priority status at Amazon receiving docks, resulting in faster processing than partial freight shipments.

How AMZ Prep gets inventory to Amazon faster than anyone

Pre-booked appointments 90+ days ago

The Carrier Central account allows requesting these appointments way ahead of time. When shipments are ready to go, no need to request and wait 3-4 days. That all gets bypassed because appointments to locations are already locked in.

Floor load containers

95%+ of shipments are live unloads, not drop trailers. This gets the benefit of priority treatment at Amazon receiving docks while drop trailers sit in yards. Floor loading also optimizes for efficiency – fill containers floor to ceiling and pass savings over.

Use 35+ trucking carriers across the country

Every DC reviewed week on week – how fast they check in, performance, challenges. If certain facilities are backloaded, pivot to secondary facilities. There’s a whole strategy account managers can explain, but the key: shipments get there faster than any other partner in the country.
