The global fulfillment partner to high-growth DTC and Amazon brands is reallocating $2 million in internal budgets to help brands protect margins and scale smarter.
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / While most logistics providers are adjusting to economic uncertainty by raising prices or pulling back, AMZ Prep is taking a different approach: investing directly into its brand partners.
Today, the global Amazon and DTC fulfillment leader announced the launch of its $2,000,000 Tariff Relief Fund, a bold initiative aimed at supporting fast-growing eCommerce brands through the recent 90-day rollback of U.S.-China tariffs.
Instead of spending on trade shows, advertising, and internal marketing efforts, AMZ Prep is putting those dollars where they matter most-back into the brands they serve.
'This isn't about lead generation-it's about leadership,' said Blair Forrest, founder of AMZ Prep. 'We believe in showing up for the operators, the builders, and the founders who keep pushing forward, even when the market pulls back. If you're betting on your brand, we're betting on you.'
What is the Tariff Relief Fund?
The $2M+ fund is designed to provide tangible financial relief to qualified, fast-growing brands who are approved for the program.
The initiative includes:
In short, it removes the typical financial and operational barriers brands face when switching logistics partners or scaling fulfillment-precisely when timing matters most.
'Every dollar we're pulling from our own internal spend is being reinvested into the success of our partners. This isn't a campaign-it's a commitment,' Forrest added.
A Premium Fulfillment Partner, Not Just Another 3PL
With over 50 fulfillment hubs across North America, Europe, and Australia-and millions of orders processed each year-AMZ Prep has become the go-to logistics partner for fast-scaling eCommerce brands.
But what sets the company apart is its high-touch, enterprise-level infrastructure purpose-built for Amazon, DTC, and omnichannel retail success.
Whether it's managing temperature-controlled inventory for beauty and wellness brands, enabling Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) capabilities, or offering global freight and compliance services-AMZ Prep acts as a strategic extension of each brand's team, not just their warehouse.
'Most 3PLs ship boxes. We build infrastructure for growth,' said Forrest. 'From freight and inventory to last-mile and returns, we deliver a full-stack logistics solution with the agility and insight today's brands demand.'
Built for Operators. Backed by Experience.
AMZ Prep's founder-led story has always been grounded in one belief: Founders help founders.
Bootstrapped from a basement to a global logistics network on track to manage over $2B in annual commerce, the company continues to focus on long-term brand success, not short-term wins.
The Tariff Relief Fund is a reflection of that ethos-prioritizing partnership, flexibility, and real-world support over sales tactics and buzzwords.
'When the economy shifts, great brands don't wait-they move. And we're right there with them,' Forrest said. 'This fund is about enabling that move. Faster, easier, and with fewer costs in the way.'
Now Accepting Applicants
The Tariff Relief Fund is available now for brands who meet the program criteria. Interested operators can apply for a custom quote and transition plan.
As Q3 approaches and tariff uncertainty continues, AMZ Prep is calling on brands to make their next move count-and providing the tools to do it right.

Each year, the company powers millions of DTC, Amazon, and B2B shipments through its global network, while offering end-to-end solutions ranging from international freight and bonded storage to Prime-eligible fulfillment and retail compliance.
Whether it's cold-chain operations for temperature-sensitive health products, two-day delivery via Seller Fulfilled Prime, or seamless integrations across ERPs, Amazon, Shopify, and big box retail-AMZ Prep serves as the connective tissue between your supply chain and your customer experience.
'Most logistics providers move packages. We move infrastructure, data, and outcomes,' said Blair Forrest, founder of AMZ Prep. 'We've built a system that's engineered not just for today's scale, but for tomorrow's complexity.'
