Amazon Sync: Solving the Hidden Costs of Amazon FBA Shipping

Amazon sellers face a frustrating challenge: high shipping costs and inefficient logistics. When sending inventory to Amazon’s fulfillment network, sellers are often forced to ship products to multiple, cross-country locations—leading to skyrocketing trucking expenses, unnecessary fees, and logistical headaches.

Even worse, failing to distribute inventory according to Amazon’s demands can result in products being marked as unavailable in distant regions, costing you sales and damaging your seller performance.

Enter Amazon Sync, a smarter way to ship that reduces costs, simplifies logistics, and keeps your inventory where it needs to be.

The Problem: Amazon’s Inefficient (and EXPENSIVE) Shipment Rules

Amazon’s rules for fulfillment center placement can put sellers in a tough spot:

  • Forced Multi-Location Shipments: Sellers must distribute inventory to 3-5 Amazon locations across the country.

  • High Trucking Costs: Splitting shipments means more trucking, which eats into your margins.

  • Additional Fees: Opting to ship to fewer locations results in hefty Amazon placement service fees.

  • Lost Sales: Without inventory in certain regions, Amazon marks your products as unavailable, limiting your reach and hurting conversions.

These inefficiencies pile on costs and complexity, leaving sellers to shoulder the burden.

The Solution: What Is Amazon Sync?

Amazon Sync addresses these challenges head-on by consolidating your inventory at the country of origin and shipping it directly to the ideal Amazon fulfillment locations—without unnecessary detours or inflated fees.

Here’s how Amazon Sync works:

  1. Consolidate at Origin: Your shipment is combined with multiple suppliers into one efficient load.

  2. Strategic Distribution: We send your shipment to the closest regional port to minimize trucking costs, save on shipping, and prevent lengthy transloading delays.

  3. Direct Delivery: Bypass Amazon’s placement service fees by shipping straight to the ideal locations, reducing trucking costs and delays.
