(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Strategic expansion addresses critical temperature-control needs for beauty, health, and consumer goods brands while solving Amazon's meltable inventory restrictions
TORONTO, Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMZ Prep ( ), the leading global fulfillment partner for Amazon sellers and DTC brands, today announced the launch of three state-of-the-art temperature-controlled fulfillment centers, spanning over 210,000 square feet, in Toronto, ON; Dothan, AL; and Salt Lake City, UT. This expansion enables brands to maintain Amazon Prime eligibility year-round through Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) capabilities, while also supporting temperature-sensitive DTC and B2B fulfillment operations.
The new facilities feature advanced cold-chain infrastructure , including frozen capabilities at the Birmingham location, designed to accommodate various temperature requirements for beauty, health, and consumer goods products. This strategic investment allows brands to overcome Amazon's meltable inventory restrictions, which can result in up to 70% revenue loss during summer months due to Prime badge suspension.
"Our brands' needs are constantly evolving, and we've identified two critical challenges in the market," said Blair Forrest, founder of AMZ Prep. "First, brands in health, beauty, and consumer goods sectors face increasing complexity as their catalogs expand to include temperature-sensitive products. Most warehouses lack the proper food and health registrations, legal approvals, and specialized cold-chain expertise to maintain specific temperatures both in storage and during 2-day shipping to customers. Second, brands face significant revenue impact from Amazon's meltable inventory restrictions during summer months, which affect products like chocolates, probiotics, and protein bars. Our new facilities directly address these challenges, allowing brands to maintain their Prime badge year-round through our SFP capabilities while ensuring products stay within required temperature ranges from warehouse to doorstep."
As the largest Amazon fulfillment partner globally, AMZ Prep's temperature-controlled expansion complements its existing network of 50+ facilities across the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe. The new facilities offer:
Temperature-controlled storage and shipping for products requiring specific climate conditions Seller Fulfilled Prime capabilities for year-round Prime badge eligibility Cold chain 2-day delivery services across North America Full-service FBA Prep operations with temperature control DTC fulfillment and B2B retail distribution for major retailers, including Costco, Sephora, and Nordstrom Integrated inventory management across temperature-controlled and ambient storage Real-time temperature monitoring and compliance reporting
The facilities are now operational and accepting new brand partners seeking temperature-controlled fulfillment solutions.
