You Know Logistics. Here's Your US Dock.

Sellers from the Netherlands don't need the basics explained — you operate next to Europe's biggest port and one of its most mature e-commerce markets. What you need for amazon.com is execution on the American side: a warehouse that receives your Rotterdam or Schiphol freight, verifies it against your documents, applies US FNSKU labels, and feeds Amazon's fulfillment centers on a 24–48 hour cycle. That's ProShip3PL, Miami.

The missing half of a Dutch seller's US expansion

Quick answer: Everything before the ocean, you already do well — sourcing, consolidation, booking out of Rotterdam or Schiphol. What amazon.com adds is a requirement you can't meet from the Netherlands: US-based receiving, US-marketplace FNSKU labels, and inbound shipments built to American fulfillment centers. We are that half — your freight's counterpart operation on the Florida side.

Dutch e-commerce sellers come to us more prepared than almost anyone: comfortable with incoterms, used to working with forwarders, often running bol.com and amazon.nl side by side already. The question they ask isn't "how does this work?" — it's "who executes reliably at the other end of the lane?"

Here's what execution means at our end. Freight from Rotterdam docks at PortMiami or Port Everglades and drays to Medley the same day it releases. We unload, tally against your packing list, and email counts with photos of any transit damage before the day closes. From that report, you decide the split: how much goes straight into FBA, how much racks as reserve.

The reserve is what keeps a transatlantic operation calm. With a Miami buffer, an Amazon stockout is a 24–48 hour replenishment instead of a two-week crossing — and since Amazon stopped offering prep and labeling in 2026, every unit we forward goes in already compliant, verified by scan rather than by hope.

US-side operations

What we run for you in Miami

The same discipline you expect from a Dutch fulfilment partner — applied to Amazon's US rulebook.

Dock

Port & airport receiving

FCL and LCL from Rotterdam, air cargo from Schiphol, parcels from anywhere — accepted, unloaded and staged on arrival day.

Data

Document-verified intake

Counts reconciled to your packing list and PO, discrepancies flagged with photos — the numbers in your inbox before you ask for them.

Compliance

Amazon.com prep & labeling

US FNSKU labels, poly bags with warnings, bubble, bundles and expiration labels — scan-verified, since Amazon no longer fixes anyone's prep.

Buffer

Reserve storage

Bins and pallets billed monthly for space actually used — your transatlantic buffer that turns stockouts into two-day replenishments.

Channels

Multi-channel shipping

FBM, Shopify, eBay, Etsy and Walmart orders picked from the same inventory pool that feeds FBA — one stock, every US channel.

Reverse

Removal & return processing

Amazon removals graded, relabeled and cycled back into FBA where possible — the reverse-logistics leg you can't run from Europe.

Operating cycle

How the Netherlands–Miami loop runs

STEP 01

Consolidate & sail

Your forwarder books Rotterdam sea or Schiphol air, DDP, with our Medley address and your reference on the freight.

STEP 02

Verify at the dock

Same-day unload, document-matched counts, photographed exceptions — data you can act on immediately.

STEP 03

Split the intake

You set the ratio: an FBA inbound goes out prepped within 24–48 hours, the remainder racks as US reserve.

STEP 04

Replenish on signal

When amazon.com stock dips, your trigger releases the next slice from Miami — no ocean crossing in the loop.

From our Dutch clients

Situations we solve for sellers in the Netherlands

01

"Our EU fulfilment runs perfectly — the US side is a black box."

We make it the same kind of box you run at home: documented receiving, agreed prep specs, storage by space used, and reports that arrive without being chased.

02

"Pan-EU FBA spoiled us; restocking the US from Holland is too slow."

Inside Europe, Amazon moves your stock around. Across the Atlantic, nobody does — unless you hold a Miami reserve that replenishes FBA in days while the next vessel is still mid-ocean.

03

"We want one US stock pool, not one per channel."

Agreed. Your inventory sits on our racks once and serves FBA replenishment, FBM orders, Shopify and marketplace sales together — allocation is a decision, not a second shipment.

04

"Who fixes it when Amazon's receive count disagrees with ours?"

Our intake data is your evidence: unit counts, carton counts and photos timestamped at our dock. When Amazon's numbers drift, you open the case with documentation instead of guesses.

FAQ

Dutch sellers — questions

How do Dutch sellers ship from Rotterdam to Amazon FBA in the US?

Book with your forwarder from Rotterdam to PortMiami or Port Everglades — both ports sit within 35 minutes of our warehouse, and transatlantic services on this lane run frequently. Ship DDP so clearance is settled before arrival; we unload FCL, LCL or palletized freight at our dock, verify counts against your documents, and start prep the same day. You keep the freight control you're used to; we add the US-side execution.

I already work with a fulfilment partner in the Netherlands — how is a US prep center different?

The workflow will feel familiar: receiving against documents, per-unit prep pricing, storage billed by space, itemized invoices. The difference is jurisdiction and catalog. Amazon.com requires its own FNSKU labels, US-compliant prep and inbound shipments to American fulfilment centers — none of which your Dutch partner can execute from Europe. Think of us as the US counterpart to the setup you already run at home.

Can Dutch sellers who started on bol.com use ProShip3PL for amazon.com?

Yes. Many Dutch e-commerce businesses grew up on bol.com and treat amazon.com as their first marketplace outside the Benelux. The operational requirement is the same regardless of where you started: US-based inventory, labeled for Amazon's US catalog. We receive your freight in Miami, prep it to amazon.com requirements, and can also ship the same stock for your Shopify or other channels from one inventory pool.

Is air freight via Schiphol worth it for a Dutch seller's US launch?

For a first test batch, often yes. Schiphol-to-MIA cargo capacity is plentiful, and MIA sits ten minutes from our dock, so a launch quantity can go from Amsterdam to FBA-ready in under a week. Once amazon.com sales are proven, most Dutch clients switch the volume to sea freight from Rotterdam and keep air as the emergency lane for stockout risk.

How should a Dutch seller split inventory between Europe and the US?

Keep your European stock where your European orders are, and hold a US reserve in Miami sized to a few replenishment cycles of amazon.com demand. Our storage is billed monthly by bins or pallets actually used, so the US buffer scales up or down with sales. The mistake to avoid is shipping exactly what FBA needs and nothing more — one delayed vessel then empties your US listings.

What does your receiving report tell a Dutch seller, and how fast?

The day your freight arrives, you get carton and unit counts checked against your packing list, condition notes, and photos of anything damaged in transit. Dutch clients tend to ask for data early and often — you'll have the discrepancy evidence while a claim against the carrier or supplier is still worth filing, not weeks later from an Amazon reconciliation screen.

How does the time difference between the Netherlands and Miami affect operations?

The Netherlands is six hours ahead. Your afternoon overlaps our morning, which in practice means a question sent from Utrecht at 16:00 gets an answer before your workday ends. Receiving confirmations and reports are emailed as they happen, so overnight arrivals are documented in your inbox by your next morning coffee.

What happens to my amazon.com returns if my company is in the Netherlands?

Route removal orders to our Medley address rather than paying to move them across the Atlantic. We inspect each returned unit, grade it honestly, re-bag and relabel what can go back on sale, and send it into FBA again. Units that shouldn't return to Amazon are stored for your decision or disposed of on your instruction.

Do Dutch sellers need a US company to use a Miami prep center?

No US entity is required to work with us — we serve sellers operating on Amazon US accounts registered abroad every day. Company structure, VAT and US tax questions belong with your accountant or advisor; what we provide is the physical side: a receiving address, inspection, prep and FBA forwarding under your existing business.

What does a first shipment from the Netherlands to ProShip3PL look like?

Typically one pallet to a few pallets of your proven products, shipped DDP via your forwarder from Rotterdam or Schiphol with our address and your account reference on the labels. You'll have per-unit pricing and receiving instructions within one business day of contacting us, and there is no setup fee or monthly minimum — the pilot run costs exactly what the rate sheet says.
