AMZ Prep Big and Bulky Fulfillment: The Go-To Partner for Oversized Products
Selling pools, mattresses, couches, furniture, or any other oversized product across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, or retail?

In this episode, Blair Forrest breaks down exactly why AMZ Prep is the go-to fulfillment partner for big and bulky brands selling across every major channel.

AMZ Prep Middle Mile Program: How 3PLs Win Amazon FBA Freight
Most 3PLs are losing freight revenue every week without knowing it. Their merchants are shipping with Amazon LTL discounted labels, using unknown carriers, and stock is sitting unchecked for three to six weeks. When check-ins are slow, the 3PL takes the blame. AMZ Prep has spent millions building one of the largest Amazon FBA inbound freight networks in North America. Through the Middle Mile Program, we're now opening that infrastructure directly to 3PLs. In this episode, Blair Forrest walks through exactly how it works and why it matters for every 3PL servicing Amazon merchants today. What's covered: Why 3PLs keep losing freight business to Amazon LTL and unknown carriers How the AMZ Prep Middle Mile Program connects 3PLs to the fastest Amazon FBA inbound network in the country How stock checks in within 48 to 72 hours instead of the traditional three to six weeks How to ship to one consolidation hub instead of splitting stock five ways How 3PLs can help merchants eliminate Amazon FBA placement fees How to win back freight revenue and position your 3PL as the Amazon expert This is the same infrastructure AMZ Prep uses to win large merchant deals. The Middle Mile Program puts those same tools in the hands of 3PLs across the country. If you run a 3PL and you want to stop losing freight business to Amazon, this episode is built for you.Watch the full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Os1WOIMxmCw Explore AMZPrep fulfillment solutions: https://amzprep.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/amzprep/

58,000 Amazon ASINs Flagged Meltable. FBA Stops April 20th. Here Is What to Do
Every year, Amazon’s meltable season catches brands off guard, but 2026 is shaping up to be bigger than ever, with over 58,000 ASINs already flagged and FBA restrictions kicking in on April 20th. In this episode, Blair Forrest, Founder of AMZ Prep, breaks down exactly what’s happening, what it means for your catalog, and the three paths every affected brand needs to seriously consider right now. We dive into the realities behind disputing flagged ASINs, the true cost structure of Seller Fulfilled Prime for cold chain products, and why for many brands, FBM may be the only viable option during this period. Blair also shares real-world scenarios to highlight how pricing and packaging decisions—like selling a $39 single unit versus an $80 case pack, can completely change your margins and fulfillment strategy. In this episode, you’ll learn: The full 2026 meltable ASIN restriction timeline across Amazon US and Canada How Amazon’s 155-degree threshold impacts different product categories The step-by-step approach to disputing flagged ASINs before the April 20 deadline What it actually takes to qualify for Seller Fulfilled Prime with cold chain logistics Why most brands need a $40–$50 MSRP minimum to make SFP work How bundling can help you reach profitable AOV thresholds The real cost of switching to FBM and how to plan for a 30–70% drop in order volume When losing the Prime badge is manageable and when it becomes a serious risk If you’re selling meltable products on Amazon, this is a must-listen episode to protect your margins and avoid costly mistakes this season.Meltable Season Playbook Download https://amzprep.com/meltable-season-playbook-download/ Watch the full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1ufLnvEaaVUExplore AMZPrep fulfillment solutions: https://amzprep.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/amzprep/
