With all of the new fees at Amazon, sellers are trying to figure out the best way to import their products from overseas and into Amazon (or other e-commerce platforms) warehouses.

In this video, Fred McKinnon discusses two options for bringing in a 40' Container from China into bulk/reserve storage:

1 - AWD (Amazon Warehousing and Distribution)
2 - Flexport (formerly called Deliverr) Reserve Storage

Both of these providers receive bulk inventory shipments, such as full containers, partial containers, and LTL palletized shipments.

Both of these allow you to transfer bulk inventory into external fulfillment warehouses, including Amazon FBA, Deliverr/Flexport Fulfillment, Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), Wayfair Castlegate, or your own warehouses.

Each of these providers have different fee structures and benefits. This video breaks them down with a REAL SHIPMENT that we are about to commit during the first week of April.

Stay tuned to see what happens with this shipment, what choice we make, and how it impacts our fees.
