A private label business moves in runs, not trickles: the factory ships thousands of units at once, the listing launches on a date, and every defective unit that slips through wears your brand name in the review section. ProShip3PL receives your run in Miami, inspects it before Amazon ever sees it, labels and stages the launch, and feeds the rest in as the product sells.
Private label is the only Amazon model where you own everything: the design, the listing, the reviews, and every consequence of a factory cutting corners. Wholesale and arbitrage sellers can blame a brand upstream. You are the brand upstream. That changes what you need from a prep partner in kind, not just in degree.
The unit of work is the production run. Ordering at sane factory economics means buying months of stock in one shot — far more than Amazon should hold on day one. So the run needs a US home where it can be checked, labeled, split into a launch slice and a reserve, and released on a rhythm your velocity sets.
It also needs a quality gate. Since January 2026, Amazon neither preps nor labels units in the US, and stock arriving unprepped or damaged sits outside its reimbursement policy. If nobody opens a carton between Shenzhen and the fulfillment center, the first inspector of your product is a paying customer.
Our Medley floor runs that whole lifecycle twelve minutes from Amazon's MIA1 building. Here's how each stage maps onto our dock:
| Run stage | What happens at ProShip3PL |
|---|---|
| Factory dispatch | Your forwarder routes sea or air freight (DDP) to our Medley dock — parcel up to full container |
| Arrival | Cartons counted against the PO; shortages and transit damage photographed and reported same day |
| Quality gate | Units checked against your spec on request — before a single one enters Amazon's network |
| Label & stage | FNSKU applied and scan-verified; launch quantity built into a shipment and held for your go signal |
| Replenish | Reserve flows into FBA in velocity-sized batches, 24–48h from your trigger |
Count, condition check and photo evidence on every run — with deeper spec checks on request. The workflow lives on our product inspection page.
Your barcode, applied and scan-verified unit by unit — see the FNSKU labeling page for specs. Mislabeled private label stock strands under someone else's listing.
The launch quantity sits prepped and shipment-ready until your listing, creative and PPC are set — then goes. Freight never dictates your date.
Poly bagging, bubble and shrink where your packaging needs it, applied so the unboxing matches the brand you're building — rules owned by our poly bagging page.
The unlaunched balance racks here off your capacity limit, then moves via our replenishment service as sales pull it.
Sea and air freight from your supplier lands here without you touching a box — the import route is mapped on our China to FBA page.
Factory freight arrives at our dock, is counted against your PO, and any transit damage is photographed the day it shows up.
Units are checked to the depth you choose — defects get quarantined and documented while the factory conversation is still fresh.
FNSKUs go on, every unit scan-verifies, and the launch shipment stages until you flip the switch on the listing.
The rest of the run replenishes FBA in batches sized to your sales — until the next PO starts the cycle again.
An inspection gate between factory and Amazon means the defects surface at our dock, with photos, while a claim against the supplier is still winnable. Your review section never learns about them.
Ship earlier, land the run here, and let it sit staged and ready. Freight variance gets absorbed by our racks instead of by your launch calendar and your ad budget.
That's the post-2026 reality: unprepped stock that's damaged or lost inside the network is your loss. Labeling and prep completed here, verified by scan, closes that exposure before the truck leaves.
We become your hands: arrival photos, inspection reports, and a named contact who can walk over and open carton 47 while you're on the phone. You get eyes on the goods without a flight to Miami.
It follows your production run through its whole life: the factory's cartons land at our Medley dock, get counted against the PO and inspected with photos, units are FNSKU-labeled and scan-verified, the launch quantity ships to Amazon on your schedule, and the remainder waits on our racks to replenish as the product sells. One partner, one chain of custody from factory to first review.
Yes, and for a brand owner this is the step that pays for everything else. Every run is counted and condition-checked on arrival; on request we open cartons and check units against your spec — print quality, seals, accessories present, packaging intact. Details of the inspection workflow live on our product inspection page. A defect caught at our dock is a factory conversation; a defect caught by a customer is a one-star review on your own listing.
We print and apply FNSKU labels and scan-verify each unit so the barcode on the box matches the listing it will sell under. Since January 1, 2026, Amazon no longer offers labeling in the US, so the label has to be right before the shipment leaves our floor — label specs and the full workflow are covered on our FNSKU labeling page.
We work backwards from the date. The run arrives early, clears inspection and labeling, and sits staged as a ready-to-ship FBA shipment. When you give the word — listing live, photography done, PPC ready — it goes out the door, typically inside 24–48 hours. Your launch waits on your marketing, not on your logistics. Our first FBA shipment guide walks through the sequence.
That's the standard route: factory to our Medley dock by sea or air, then prep, then Amazon. We receive everything from parcel shipments to full 20–53ft containers. Book freight DDP through your forwarder — we're not the importer of record and don't act as a customs broker. The full import lane is mapped on our China to FBA page.
The unlaunched balance of your run stays on our racks, already inspected and often pre-labeled. You set a trigger — a reorder point, a fixed weekly send, or a quick email — and we build and dispatch the next FBA shipment within 24–48 hours of it firing. The mechanics are detailed on our replenishment service page.
You get a same-day report with photos and counts, and the affected units are set aside rather than shipped. From there you decide: rework what's fixable, quarantine for a factory claim, or dispose. The photo evidence gives you leverage in the refund negotiation with your supplier — and keeps defective units off your listing.
Yes — two-packs, variety sets, gift-with-purchase inserts and kit assembly all run on our floor, labeled as single sellable units. The physical build process is owned by our bundling and kitting pages; on this side, what matters is that bundle assembly slots into the same run lifecycle as everything else, so a bundled launch stages exactly like a single-unit one.
Yes. Bin and pallet storage holds the balance of the run, billed monthly for the space actually occupied. Producing at good unit economics usually means ordering more than Amazon should hold at once — the reserve lives here, off your capacity limit, until velocity calls it in.
Send your run details through the form: units and cartons expected, where the factory ships from, launch timing, and any inspection depth you want. Pricing is per unit with no setup fee and no monthly minimum, and you'll have a rate sheet within one business day.
Tell us about the product, the run size, where it ships from and when you want to launch. We'll map the run onto our floor — inspection depth, labeling, staging, replenishment cadence — and price it per unit.
