Factory-direct from Shenzhen to FBA means the first person to open your cartons works for Amazon. ProShip3PL is the checkpoint: your Alibaba order or production run lands at our Miami dock, gets counted against the PO and inspected with photos, factory prep gets verified and fixed, and inventory releases into FBA in slices your capacity limits can absorb. One stop that turns a blind shipment into a controlled one.
Every China-lane seller knows the anxiety of a shipment they can't see: did the factory pack 5,000 or 4,700? Did the blue variant go in the cartons marked blue? Did the FNSKU files from six weeks ago get printed right? Factory-direct shipping answers these questions at the worst possible moment — Amazon's receiving process — where the answers become stranded inventory instead of supplier claims.
Routing through Miami re-sequences the discovery. Freight clears customs (your forwarder's job, typically DDP), drays from PortMiami to our dock in under an hour, and the same day gets counted against your PO and condition-checked with photos. Whatever the factory got wrong, you know while your money is still recoverable and before your listing's stock data lies.
Then the import stops being one big bet: part goes into FBA now, part racks as reserve for measured replenishment, part can ship onward to wholesale buyers. The stop costs days and a per-unit fee — it buys eyes, options, and a paper trail. On the China lane, that trade is usually the whole ballgame.
| Discovery | Factory-direct | Via the Miami checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity shortfall | Amazon's counts, weeks later | Our dock, day one, documented |
| Wrong variant / mixed cartons | Buyer complaints and returns | Caught at carton-level inspection |
| Bad factory labels | Stranded units, no 2026 safety net | Sampled, verified, exceptions fixed here |
| Transit damage | Unclaimable by the time it surfaces | Photographed while claims are live |
20–53 ft containers, palletized or floor-loaded, plus LCL and air cargo — booked to our dock, unloaded and staged the day they arrive.
Carton counts, unit sampling, variant checks and condition review against your purchase order — with a photo report the same day.
Pre-applied FNSKU labels and bags sample-checked for accuracy and scannability; exceptions fixed on the spot instead of stranding at Amazon.
Whatever the factory didn't do — labels, bags, warnings, bundles — done here so the shipment enters FBA complete.
The import divides into now-FBA, reserve, and onward shipments — sized to your capacity limits and sales velocity, not to the container.
The balance waits on our racks — see the full model on our inventory storage page — and replenishes FBA on your trigger.
Your forwarder clears customs and delivers to 8871 NW 102nd St, Medley, FL — your reference on every carton.
Counts, condition and variants checked against the PO; the photo report lands in your inbox.
Factory labeling sampled and fixed, missing prep added — units leave here Amazon-compliant.
FBA gets what sells now; the rest racks as reserve and follows on your replenishment triggers.
The riskiest shipment a seller makes. Route it here: the inspection report is your real supplier scorecard — before the relationship scales.
Mixed cartons are re-sorted, counted by SKU and re-cartoned cleanly — an annoyance at our dock, a receiving nightmare at Amazon's.
Big defensive buys need a landing zone. The container unloads into reserve here and feeds FBA for months — the buy decision stays yours, not Amazon's capacity algorithm's.
Skip the FC appointment lottery: deliver to our dock on normal commercial terms, and we hand off to Amazon through the standard inbound flow.
Your factory or forwarder ships to our Miami warehouse instead of directly to Amazon. We unload, count every carton against your purchase order, inspect condition, verify or apply prep and labeling, then release inventory into FBA in shipment sizes that match your sales and capacity limits. You trade a short stop in Miami for inspection, flexibility and a claims trail.
Direct works when you deeply trust the factory, the SKU is stable, and the quantity fits comfortably inside your Amazon limits. First orders from a new supplier, large buys, mixed-SKU containers, and anything with labeling complexity should stop at a prep center — the first time you see a new supplier's real output should not be a stranded-inventory notice from Amazon.
Only the intake door changes. Sea freight arrives as containers or palletized LCL through PortMiami and is unloaded at our dock; air cargo lands at MIA ten minutes away and usually reaches us the same day it clears. Either way, counting and inspection start on arrival day and the 24–48 hour prep clock runs from there.
Carton count against the packing list, unit count sampling against the PO, product condition and packaging integrity, correct variant in the correct carton, and — where the factory pre-labeled — whether those labels are right and scannable. Findings come to you as a same-day report with photos, while a factory claim is still realistic.
Factory labeling is worth keeping at volume; verification is what's missing. We sample-check labeled cartons for correct FNSKU-to-variant mapping and scannability, fix the exceptions, and only then release into FBA. Since Amazon stopped correcting labels in 2026, the verify step is what stands between a factory mistake and a stranded batch.
Your freight forwarder or customs broker — most sellers ship DDP so duties and clearance are settled before delivery, and we receive the cleared freight. We don't act as your Importer of Record; if you don't yet have a forwarder, we can point you to brokers our clients on the China lane already use.
Yes — this is a routine China-lane pattern. A container breaks down into: an immediate FBA shipment, reserve stock racked for later replenishment, and cartons shipped onward to wholesale customers or your other warehouses. One import, three destinations, decided after you see the inspection report.
Defective units are counted, photographed and segregated the day we find them; sellable stock continues into prep so your launch isn't hostage to the bad units. You get the evidence package for your factory or forwarder claim, and the defective stock is held, reworked where feasible, or disposed of on your call.
Yes — a large share of the China-to-FBA flow we handle belongs to China-based sellers running US accounts. The setup is identical: our address is your US receiving point, communication runs over email and WhatsApp across time zones, and invoicing is in USD.
Send the form with your product, supplier region, shipment size and how it ships (container, LCL, air). Within one business day you'll have per-unit pricing, receiving instructions for your forwarder, and a recommended split between immediate FBA and reserve.
