Advanced Warehouse Inc. (AWI), a leading U.S.-based logistics and fulfillment company, is proud to announce its official acceptance into the Amazon Service Provider Network (SPN). This recognition marks a significant milestone for AWI, positioning the company as a verified and trusted logistics partner for Amazon sellers seeking compliant, efficient, and scalable fulfillment solutions within the United States.

The U.S. holiday shopping season has always pushed supply chains to their limits — but 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest yet. Early retail forecasts indicate record-breaking e-commerce demand, driven by increased consumer spending and new sales events set to begin as early as October. For brands selling online, this means unprecedented shipping volumes, tighter carrier capacity, and rising costs if you’re not prepared.

A federal government shutdown isn’t just political news — it has real, immediate effects on logistics, customs, and cross-border trade. For overseas brands depending on U.S. warehousing and fulfillment, even a short shutdown can trigger delays, cost overruns, and risk to promised delivery times.

In fulfillment and last-mile delivery, small surcharges add up quickly. A $3 residential delivery fee here, or a $15 return processing charge there, can drastically change the profitability of an e-commerce operation at scale. For global sellers shipping thousands of parcels each month, understanding and controlling these costs is essential.

Beginning January 1, 2026, Amazon will stop offering FBA prep and labeling services for any shipments sent to its U.S. fulfillment centers. This includes inventory moving through AWD, AGL, Amazon SEND, and the Supply Chain Portal. From that date forward, all new shipments must arrive at Amazon fully prepped and compliant.

For overseas brands looking to break into the U.S. market, speed is everything. American consumers are accustomed to fast shipping — two-day delivery has become the baseline expectation, and same-day fulfillment is expanding across major cities. New entrants who cannot meet these expectations quickly discover that long lead times erode customer trust and limit repeat sales.

For overseas manufacturers and e-commerce sellers, expanding into the U.S. market is often a logical next step for growth. But it comes with a unique operational challenge: once your products arrive in America, you’re operating in a different time zone, under different regulations, with inventory stored thousands of miles away.

Over the past few years, Korean products have experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity in the United States. From K-beauty skincare lines that promise glass-like complexions to cutting-edge tech gadgets, fashion, and lifestyle accessories, the “Made in Korea” label has become synonymous with quality, innovation, and trend leadership.

As e-commerce brands and wholesale distributors scale across the United States, fulfillment strategies that once worked regionally may start to show cracks. Suddenly, shipping costs skyrocket, delivery windows stretch out, and inventory management becomes a logistical jigsaw puzzle. If you’re planning to go national—or already operating across multiple U.S. regions—cross-docking could be your most powerful move toward a scalable, efficient, and cost-controlled distribution mo

As global supply chains become increasingly complex, high-volume brands—especially in e-commerce, wholesale, and retail—are facing growing pressure to reduce transit times, lower costs, and enhance flexibility. One of the most strategic decisions importers face is whether to rely on traditional direct shipping from port to destination or implement a transloading model that reroutes cargo through a secondary facility. While both methods serve distinct purposes, transloading is

In today’s e-commerce-driven world, fast shipping is no longer just a competitive edge—it’s an expectation. As we enter 2025, customers increasingly demand same-day or next-day delivery regardless of the product category, price point, or brand size. Giants like Amazon have set the bar high, influencing consumer expectations across the board. For brands striving to stay competitive, delivering at speed has become critical for both customer loyalty and revenue growth.

In the fast-moving world of e-commerce, speed and efficiency aren’t just nice-to-have—they’re essential for staying competitive. Customers expect rapid delivery, and inventory costs can quickly eat into margins if products sit too long in storage. That’s why more brands are exploring crossdocking as a solution for managing high-velocity SKUs.

For high-volume shippers navigating the complexities of multimodal logistics, knowing when to integrate transloading can make all the difference. At Advanced Warehouse, we understand that efficient supply chains rely on more than just moving goods from point A to point B.

As global commerce continues to evolve, international brands—particularly those operating across Asia—are facing new pressures that are forcing them to rethink how and where they fulfill customer orders. Rising freight costs, geopolitical instability, customer demands for same-day delivery, and unreliable lead times have prompted a fundamental shift: relocating fulfillment operations from Asia to the United States.

Dropshipping allows retailers to sell products without holding inventory, relying instead on suppliers or manufacturers—often located internationally—to fulfill orders directly to the end customer.

Here’s how to get cheaper shipping rates—and how partnering with Advanced Warehouse can give you a lasting advantage.

In today's competitive eCommerce environment, success depends on more than just product quality and marketing. A brand’s ability to meet customer expectations hinges on a critical but often overlooked area: fulfillment. The efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility of your fulfillment strategy can directly influence customer satisfaction, loyalty, and long-term revenue.

In a fast-evolving global logistics landscape, businesses are under increasing pressure to deliver goods faster, reduce costs, and stay agile in the face of supply chain disruption. One critical decision many companies face is whether to stick with traditional freight models or shift to transloading to optimize their distribution.

In today’s fast-paced, demand-driven supply chain environment, efficiency is everything. Businesses across industries are under pressure to move goods faster while reducing inventory holding costs and increasing fulfillment speed. One of the most effective logistics strategies helping companies achieve this is crossdocking.

With a highly engaged online consumer base, strong logistics infrastructure, and high average order value, the U.S. offers enormous potential for Korean brands in sectors like beauty, fashion, electronics, lifestyle, and food. But entering the American market isn’t just about demand—it requires a seamless, localized fulfillment strategy to meet customer expectations.
