The reality of Amazon fulfilment
Amazon is not just another sales channel.
It has rules, metrics, cut-offs, prep requirements, account health risks and performance thresholds. Most 3PLs treat it like any other order. We build the fulfilment process around what Amazon demands.
For most growing brands, Amazon fulfilment is rarely just one thing.
- FBA prep and inbound shipments
- FBM orders that need same-day dispatch
- Seller Fulfilled Prime performance pressure
- Amazon returns and rework
- Stock split across Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, eBay and wholesale
Amazon connects to the rest of the business.
Amazon affects inventory, cash flow, returns, customer support and channel strategy. The operation has to be joined up, otherwise margin and visibility disappear quickly.

What we do
FBA prep, FBM dispatch, SFP support. All under one roof.
Four structured services designed around the way Amazon sellers actually operate.
FBM Order Dispatch
Amazon orders picked, packed and dispatched directly from our DC with same-day cut-offs and SLA-tracked performance.
DirectSeller Fulfilled Prime
Warehouse process support for eligible sellers: fast pick, pack and dispatch workflows, carrier routing and cut-off discipline.
PrimeMulti-Channel Stock Control
Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, eBay and wholesale orders run from one operational stock pool with live visibility.
OmnichannelStrategic position
Use Amazon. Do not become trapped by it.
FBA can be powerful. Prime visibility, fast delivery and reduced friction for customers all matter.
But relying entirely on FBA creates operational and commercial pressure that compounds over time.
The answer is not to abandon FBA. It is to keep it as one tool in a wider fulfilment structure.
Use Amazon as a sales channel. Not as your entire operation.
FBA-only over time
Stock split across systems. FBA inventory and your own fulfilment stock become two separate problems with no single view.
Storage and prep costs become hard to control. Long-term storage fees, removal orders and aged stock start eroding margin at scale.
Brand experience is limited. FBA packaging and the post-purchase experience are Amazon's, not yours.
Your other channels still need fulfilment. Shopify, TikTok, eBay and wholesale orders still need an operational answer.
Returns go through Amazon. You have limited control over how returned stock is assessed, quarantined or re-entered into inventory.
Choose your model
FBA, FBM, SFP or hybrid. We support all of them.
Most growing Amazon sellers do not operate a single model. Here is how we fit around the combination that makes sense.
FBA PrepInbound

Rapid Pack role: Support the warehouse process, cut-off compliance, picking accuracy and carrier discipline required for SFP.
Hybrid FBA + FBMMixed
Best for: Brands splitting by product type, velocity or seasonal demand.
Rapid Pack role: Manage FBA prep for some lines and FBM dispatch for others from one stock operation.
Amazon + DTCMulti-channel

The control layer
The difference is not the label. It is the control behind it.
Amazon fulfilment breaks in small places: the wrong barcode, a missed cut-off, stock unchecked, a return in the wrong location.
Order control
Amazon orders flow into a structured fulfilment queue. Every order is tracked against cut-off, carrier and SLA.
Prep control
FBA prep, labelling, bundling and carton preparation are checked and verified before stock moves toward an FC.
Stock control
Inventory is received, checked, stored and updated across channels. Your team has live visibility.
Returns control
Returned stock is inspected, quarantined, restocked or escalated based on agreed rules.
Dispatch control
Orders are processed against cut-offs, carrier services and SFP requirements, including during peak.
Exception control
Damaged stock, relabelling needs, missing data and unusual requests are handled properly.
Returns and rework
Nothing goes back into sellable stock unchecked.
Amazon returns are received, inspected and routed against your rules: restock, quarantine, relabel, rework or disposition.
That protects margin, stock accuracy and customer experience across every channel you sell through.

DTC brands adding Amazon
Shopify or TikTok-first brands expanding onto Amazon without handing over their fulfilment operation.

Prep-heavy product brands
Bundles, kits, multipacks, relabelled products, compliance-heavy items or regular rework requirements.
Honest fit assessment
When this probably is not the right fit.
Probably not right if
- You only need occasional prep of a handful of units
- You want the cheapest possible FBA prep service with no wider operational support
- Your Amazon operation is still early stage and not yet generating consistent volume
- You have no existing SOPs, product specs or documented prep requirements
Stronger fit if
- Amazon is operationally important and fulfilment accuracy affects account health
- You are managing FBA prep alongside FBM or other channels
- Returns are becoming a commercial problem and need proper inspection
- You want a 3PL who understands Amazon requirements and builds a process around them
