Amazon FBA Shipping & Freight Forwarder in the USA
Get your inventory from the factory to any Amazon fulfillment center in the US — without held shipments, missed appointments, or 2026 prep compliance headaches.
WWS Cargo moves freight for Amazon FBA sellers shipping from China, Vietnam, Mexico, Canada, and the EU into US Amazon FCs. We handle the full lane — booking, customs clearance, prep compliance, drayage, and FC delivery appointments — as one service, one invoice, one point of accountability.

Why Sellers Choose WWS for FBA Freight
1. We know Amazon’s 2026 playbook
Amazon ended its US-based prep-and-labeling service this year. Sellers who ship unprepped cartons can get held at receiving. WWS handles all prep compliance through our warehouse prep service before cargo ever reaches an FC. This is the single biggest of the 2026 FBA changes for freight.
2. Single-lane accountability
Most sellers coordinate multiple vendors — a forwarder for freight, a separate broker for customs, a prep center or general 3PL, and a drayage company. When something breaks, each vendor blames the others. We coordinate all four through one accountable team. One contact, one responsible party.
3. Predictable pricing
Our quotes include every line item: freight, destination port fees, duty, customs clearance, prep labor (per unit), drayage, FC appointment fees. No “small fees” appearing after delivery. You budget the real number from day one.
4. We reject the race to the bottom
Cheap freight from freight-broker marketplaces often hides costs that hit at customs or FC receiving. Our quotes are rarely the cheapest option, and that is deliberate. Cheap freight that results in weeks of held inventory costs vastly more than doing it right.

How It Works
Step 1: Quote
Send us your commercial invoice, packing list, origin address, and destination FC (or Amazon shipment plan). We return a door-to-FC quote within one business day.
Step 2: Book
Sign off on the quote and we reserve freight capacity (1 week for air, 2–3 weeks for ocean LCL, 3–4 weeks for FCL during peak).
Step 3: Ship
We coordinate origin pickup, export clearance, and transit. You get milestone status updates and weekly summaries — more frequent during customs clearance or exception events.
Step 4: Prep and clear
Cargo arrives at US port, clears customs, and routes to the prep warehouse for any prep labor required under the 2026 Amazon policy.
Step 5: Deliver to FC
Drayage truck hits the Amazon FC appointment window. FC receives inventory. Your ASINs go live in stock typically 2–5 days after FC receipt.
Pricing Transparency
We’re one of the few forwarders who publish rough pricing ranges. Real quotes depend on volume, lane, season, and fuel surcharges, but here’s what to budget (indicative ranges; confirm current pricing when you request a quote):
| Lane | Mode | Ballpark (door-to-FBA, USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Shenzhen → LGB4 (LA area) | Ocean LCL, 10 m³ | $3,200–$4,100 |
| Shenzhen → JFK8 (NJ/NY area) | Ocean LCL, 10 m³ | $3,800–$4,800 |
| Shenzhen → MDW2 (Chicago area) | Ocean FCL, 40-ft | $5,400–$6,900 |
| Shenzhen → any US FC | Air freight, 300 kg | $2,800–$4,200 |
| Ho Chi Minh → LGB4 | Ocean LCL, 10 m³ | $3,000–$3,800 |
| Rotterdam → EWR4 (NJ) | Ocean LCL, 10 m³ | $2,700–$3,500 |
Includes origin pickup, freight, US customs clearance, duty pass-through, warehouse prep (up to 2,000 units), and drayage to FC. Duty is billed separately at actual cost — we don’t mark it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you quote a new shipment?
Within one business day. If you send the request outside US business hours, we respond the next morning. Urgent restock requests are flagged and prioritized.
Do you handle small shipments or only large ones?
We handle from 1 m³ ocean LCL up to multi-container ocean FCL. For shipments under 50 kg, express courier (DHL, FedEx) is often cheaper — we’ll recommend it if it’s a better fit, even though we don’t earn as much.
What if my shipment volume is unpredictable?
Most of our customers don’t ship on a regular schedule. There’s no minimum volume commitment or long-term contract. Quote a shipment when you need it.
Can you handle products that require FDA, FCC, or other regulatory compliance?
Yes — we regularly clear electronics (FCC), children’s products (CPSC), food/supplements (FDA), and cosmetics. We’ll flag any documentation gaps before cargo ships so you’re not stuck at US customs.
Do you offer DDP?
We offer both DDP and DAP. DDP is simpler but typically more expensive; DAP with our brokerage is often cheaper for sellers moving more than 3–4 containers a year. See our DDP shipping guide for the breakdown.
What happens if Amazon refuses receiving?
We handle the exception. If the refusal is our fault (paperwork error, missed appointment, labeling miss), we handle the reroute. If the refusal is due to the seller’s shipment plan changing mid-transit or Amazon-side issues, we reroute at actual cost with no markup.
Do you ship to Amazon FBM warehouses or third-party 3PLs in addition to FBA?
Yes. Most sellers mix FBA + 3PL inventory, and we can split one shipment across multiple destinations. Quote this explicitly so we plan the routing.
What are your customs clearance times in 2026?
Typical: 2–5 days for ocean shipments, 1–2 days for air. If CBP pulls the shipment for exam, expect 5–14 additional days. Full breakdown in our customs clearance time guide.
