Hi All,

I'm looking to expand my business into the US after having identified a supplier and I am now in the middle of looking for a company that can help prep stock to be sent into Amazon. I'm sure there are countless options and so I thought it would be best to see if anybody has any recommendations.

Do you work with a great third party fulfilment company that you would recommend? I'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction. I'm based in the UK so I need to be totally hands-off with the stock.

Thanks!

What kind of volume are you expecting to do per month? We might be able to help you here.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'd be hoping to start with around 1,000 units per month (5,000 individual products - as they are 5 packs).

I'm currently in talks with the supplier who are looking at creating a fully finished product for me which I can just have shipped to UPS. That would actually remove the need for a 3PL in the States. I'm not 100% sure that will be an option yet though. Still exploring all avenues.

Seems like you're looking more for a Fulfillment company vs a 3PL. Generally, 3PL's are dealing with domestic and international freight, imports, exports, customs compliance, etc. There is a difference and from the volume you are speaking of, down the line as you grow a true 3PL might be able to negotiate directly with carriers on your behalf and ensure your imports come through customs quickly, rather than sitting on the water. Also, they can help you identify if there are things you might not be aware of within your supply chain, which can save you money and possibly get you some money back, ala Duty Drawback which is a refund from Customs for duties you pay on imports.
