Why the state matters

Florida is where imported inventory meets Amazon's Southeast network

Quick answer: A Florida prep center makes geographic sense for two kinds of sellers: anyone whose goods arrive by sea or air through the state's ports, and anyone selling into Amazon's Southeast fulfillment cluster. ProShip3PL sits at the junction of both — in Medley, the warehouse district serving PortMiami and MIA.

Freight economics decide where prep should happen. Goods that clear PortMiami or Port Everglades cost a fraction to dray to a Medley dock compared with trucking them north to an inland prep state — and after prep, Amazon's fulfillment centers around Opa-locka, Lakeland and Jacksonville are hours away, not days.

For Florida-based sellers the case is even simpler: your prep partner is in-state, drop-offs are possible, LTL from Orlando or Tampa arrives next morning, and the person answering the phone works in the same time zone — often in the same county.

We run the full chain under one roof: receiving from parcel to full container, arrival inspection with photo documentation, FNSKU labeling and packaging, reserve storage on our racks, and shipment building into whichever fulfillment centers Amazon assigns. One vendor, one dock, one point of accountability.

Built around Florida's freight map

  • Sea freight, minimal drayage. Containers clearing PortMiami or Port Everglades reach our Medley dock the same day — before demurrage clocks become a problem.
  • Air freight, same-day receiving. MIA is ten minutes out; urgent replenishment stock can land, clear and start prep within one working day.
  • Statewide inbound. Florida sellers truck or ship inventory in overnight; South Florida sellers simply drive it over.
  • Fast into the FC network. Post-prep shipments reach Amazon's Florida and Southeast fulfillment centers in short transit windows, so listings go sellable sooner.

What your inventory gets between the port and Amazon

Intake

Port, air & truck receiving

Containers, air cargo, LTL and parcel — checked in against your PO the day of arrival, whatever route your freight takes into Florida.

QC

Arrival inspection

Condition checks with photo evidence before anything is prepped — catching factory and transit damage while claims are still possible.

Prep

Labeling & packaging

FNSKU application, poly bagging, bubble wrap and bundles built to Amazon's current requirements, scan-verified before sealing.

Hold

Reserve storage

Rack space by the bin or pallet for stock that shouldn't enter Amazon yet — released into FBA as your sales pull it.

Ship

FBA forwarding

Shipments built with accurate box-content data and handed to carriers bound for Amazon's assigned fulfillment centers.

Extra

Multi-channel & returns

Shopify, eBay and FBM orders shipped from the same stock; removal orders received, graded and recovered.

Cities we serve

One warehouse, every Florida metro

South Florida sellers get local pages with drop-off details; everyone else ships in. Either way the dock is the same.

How it works

Anywhere in Florida to Amazon, four moves

STEP 01

Route it to Medley

Container from the port, LTL from upstate, or a drop-off from down the road — all land on the same dock.

STEP 02

Count & inspect

Same-day check-in against your PO, with photos of anything that didn't travel well.

STEP 03

Prep & verify

Labels, bags and bundles to Amazon's spec — scanned and verified before cartons close.

STEP 04

Into the Southeast network

Shipments hand off to carriers bound for Amazon's nearby FCs; you track check-ins from Seller Central.

FAQ

Florida FBA prep — questions

Where in Florida is your FBA prep center?

In Medley, Miami-Dade County — Florida's densest warehouse corridor, positioned between PortMiami, Miami International Airport and the Palmetto Expressway. From there we serve sellers across the whole state and nationally: inventory ships in from anywhere, and South Florida sellers can drop off in person.

Do you serve sellers in Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville?

Yes. Central and North Florida sellers ship inventory down via LTL or parcel — typically one transit day within the state — and we handle everything from receiving to Amazon check-in. Distance rarely matters: most of our Florida clients never visit the warehouse.

Why choose a Florida prep center over other states?

Two structural reasons: Florida's ports (PortMiami, Port Everglades, JAXPORT) make it a natural first landing point for imported goods, and Amazon's Southeast fulfillment center cluster means short hauls from our dock into the network. If your goods arrive by sea or you sell into the Southeast, Florida geography works in your favor.

Does Florida sales tax affect using a prep center there?

For most private-label and wholesale sellers, prep services themselves aren't a sales-tax event the way retail purchases are — the tax-free-state argument mainly matters for arbitrage sellers buying retail inventory. Tax rules depend on your business structure, so confirm specifics with your accountant; we're glad to describe how our other Florida clients operate.

Which Florida ports can my freight arrive through?

Most client freight clears through PortMiami or Port Everglades — both a short drayage from our Medley dock. Air freight lands at Miami International Airport ten minutes away. Freight from JAXPORT or Tampa reaches us in a day by truck. Your forwarder handles clearance; we take over at the door.

Can I drop off inventory at your Florida warehouse myself?

Yes — South Florida sellers regularly drop off cartons and pallets at our Medley dock during business hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00). Coordinate the drop-off with your account contact so receiving paperwork is ready and your inventory is counted while you're still in the building if you wish.

How fast does inventory move from your Florida dock into Amazon?

Prep is completed within 24–48 hours of receiving, and shipments hand off to carriers the same day they're sealed. Amazon's Florida and Southeast fulfillment centers are close, so transit after hand-off is typically short — your stock spends less calendar time being neither sellable nor storable.

Do you handle hurricane-season contingencies for stored inventory?

We operate year-round in a modern commercial warehouse built to South Florida code, monitor storm windows closely during season, and communicate proactively about receiving cut-offs around named storms. Ask us about coverage options for stored goods when you onboard — we'll walk you through how it works.

Can you serve me if I'm in Florida but my supplier ships from overseas?

That's the most common Florida setup we see: a seller in Broward or Palm Beach whose production arrives from Asia through PortMiami. The container comes straight to us, you skip renting warehouse space entirely, and your role shrinks to approving reports and watching FBA check-ins.

How do I start with a Florida FBA prep center?

Send the quote form with what you sell, where inventory comes from, and monthly volume. You'll get per-unit pricing and receiving instructions within one business day — then route your next shipment, drop-off or container to our Medley address and we run it from there.
