FAQ

❓ Can I ship inventory directly from Australia to Amazon FBA in the US?
✅ Yes, but it’s often expensive and slow. Many sellers use third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses in the US for faster, cost-effective fulfillment. We can facilitate shipment from China directly into US warehouses using AGL (Amazon Global Logistics). We help you find the best solution.
