How to send inventory to US fulfillment center
Hello Amazon Community,
I am a Canadian seller who has recently expanded my business to Amazon.com, and I need help with shipping my inventory to FBA fulfillment centers in the USA. My shipments are typically valued above $800, and I want to ensure that I comply with all regulations and choose the best shipping method.
Here are some specific questions I have:
What are the best shipping options for sending inventory from Canada to the USA for FBA?
Are there recommended third-party logistics providers (3PLs) or freight forwarders that specialize in cross-border shipping?
What are the pros and cons of using express couriers like FedEx, UPS, or DHL for larger shipments?
Is it necessary to hire a customs broker, and if so, how do I find a reliable one?
Are there any additional fees for using 3PLs or freight forwarders?
I appreciate any advice, tips, or recommendations from fellow sellers who have experience with shipping inventory from Canada to the USA. Your insights will be incredibly valuable as I navigate this process and strive to grow my business on Amazon.com.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
