What is Amazon FBA Shipping?

Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) shipping refers to the process of transporting your inventory from your supplier or factory in China directly to Amazon's fulfillment centers in the USA. As an FBA seller, you send your products to Amazon's warehouses, and Amazon handles storage, packing, shipping, and customer service on your behalf.

FCLGO specializes in the critical link between your Chinese supplier and Amazon's fulfillment network. We handle every step of the shipping process — from factory pickup in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, or any city in China, through customs clearance, to final delivery at your designated Amazon FC.
