However you sell on Amazon, we run the fulfillment behind it.
FBA prep, FBM, Seller Fulfilled Prime, and Vendor Central, run in the same operation that ships the rest of your orders.
The four programs at a glance
| FBA prep | FBM | Seller Fulfilled Prime | Vendor Central | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who stores it | Amazon, after we prep and forward it | Red Stag | Red Stag | Amazon buys it wholesale |
| Who ships to the buyer | Amazon | Red Stag | Red Stag | Amazon |
| Prime badge | Yes, through FBA | No | Yes, on your own listings | Yes, Amazon retails it |
| Best when | You want Amazon’s network without running prep in-house | You want control over inventory, packaging, and shipping cost | You want Prime conversion while keeping inventory on your side | Amazon buys from you wholesale |
| The catch | Fees climb on bigger, heavier items | No Prime badge | Amazon’s delivery-speed bar | Chargebacks when a PO misses spec |
However you sell on Amazon, we do the fulfillment.
Red Stag Fulfillment is a third-party logistics (3PL) partner for Amazon sellers: FBA prep center, FBM and Seller Fulfilled Prime order fulfillment, and Vendor Central compliance. All of it is multichannel fulfillment, run in the same operation that ships your D2C and retail orders. Here is what we handle in each.

How it works
FBA prep
Amazon stores your inventory and ships your orders. Our job is everything before that.
Red Stag Fulfillment is an FBA prep center for Amazon sellers: inventory arrives at our warehouse first, and we receive it, inspect it, prep and label it to Amazon’s current requirements, and forward it to their fulfillment centers. Done right, your shipments check in smoothly instead of getting flagged or turned away at Amazon’s dock.
WHAT WE HANDLE
Receiving and inspection when your inventory lands, including container unloading
Prep to Amazon’s spec: polybagging, bubble wrap, and unit-level requirements
FNSKU and carton labeling, plus box content information
Shipment plan creation and routing to the fulfillment centers Amazon assigns
Storage for the inventory you have not sent in yet, so you feed FBA on your schedule
FBM
You make the sale on Amazon. We pick, pack, and ship the order straight to your buyer.
Red Stag Fulfillment provides FBM order fulfillment for Amazon sellers: when an order lands in Seller Central, we pick, pack, and ship it straight to your buyer. Orders flow from your Amazon account into our system automatically, and we ship them from our floor the same way we ship your other channels.
WHAT WE HANDLE
Direct integration with Seller Central, so orders flow in without manual entry
Pick, pack, and same-day shipping on orders placed by cutoff
Carrier selection and negotiated rates on every order we ship
Tracking pushed back to Amazon automatically, keeping your metrics clean
Returns processing when a buyer sends one back
Seller Fulfilled Prime
The Prime badge on listings you fulfill yourself. Amazon sets the delivery clock, we hit it.
Red Stag Fulfillment is a 3PL for Seller Fulfilled Prime: we hit Prime delivery speed by ground, not air, shipping from our East and West warehouses in Sweetwater, Tennessee and Salt Lake City, Utah, which together reach 96% of the U.S. in 2 days by ground. SFP gives you Prime placement without handing your inventory to FBA; the catch is Amazon’s delivery-speed requirements, which is where most 3PLs fall down.
Because big and heavy is our specialty, we are built for the products where SFP matters most: items that FBA charges a premium for, but that still need the badge to convert.
WHAT WE HANDLE
Prime-speed order fulfillment shipped ground from two U.S. warehouses
Amazon’s SFP performance requirements: on-time shipping, valid tracking, delivery windows
Weekend processing where the program requires it
Trial-period support, so you qualify for the badge instead of washing out
Guaranteed on-time shipping on the orders we ship, backed by our guarantee below
Vendor Central
Amazon is your customer, not just your channel. We ship your wholesale orders to their docks.
Red Stag Fulfillment handles Vendor Central compliance for Amazon’s first-party vendors. Amazon sends you purchase orders and expects them delivered to spec: correct labeling, compliant pallets, EDI paperwork, and delivery inside the appointment window. Miss the spec and the chargebacks start. We ship to Amazon’s rulebook so your POs get received, not penalized.
WHAT WE HANDLE
Routing-guide compliance for Amazon’s vendor requirements
EDI documentation, handled through our integration stack
Compliant pallet builds: labeling, banding, and load configuration to spec
LTL and FTL shipping with delivery appointments met
Real-time visibility from PO to proof of delivery
Every order we ship, in one dashboard.
Your Amazon orders flow into the same system we ship your other channels from. From there you track fulfillment status, inventory across both warehouses (Sweetwater, TN and Salt Lake City, UT), and inbound in one real-time view.

Or we pay to make it right.
We’re not saying we’re perfect. If a 3PL says they are,
we’d recommend you run the other way.
Anyone can show you accuracy stats.
What matters more is what happens when something goes wrong.
We get it right, or we make it right.
Common questions
Does Red Stag Fulfillment do FBA prep?
Yes. Red Stag Fulfillment is an FBA prep center. We receive and inspect your inventory, prep it to Amazon’s spec (polybagging, bubble wrap, FNSKU and carton labeling), and forward it to the fulfillment centers Amazon assigns, with storage for whatever you have not sent in yet.
Can a 3PL handle Seller Fulfilled Prime’s delivery requirements?
Yes, by ground. We ship SFP orders from Sweetwater, TN and Salt Lake City, UT, which together reach 96% of the U.S. in 2 days by ground. That hits Amazon’s delivery windows without paying for air on every order.
What does FBA prep cost?
It depends on what you ship. Volume, unit size, and prep requirements move the number, so we quote each operation instead of publishing a rate card. Tell us what you ship and you’ll get a straight answer: a custom quote if we’re a fit, a referral to a better-matched 3PL if we’re not.
Can one 3PL handle Amazon and my own website?
Yes, that is the point. Your Amazon programs ship from the same operation as your D2C and retail orders, tracked in one dashboard. Channels can keep inventory separated when you want a priority channel protected; the operation is shared.
