The warehouse and logistics network provider MyFBAPrep today said it has added an additional 70 million square feet of warehouse space to its existing network, bringing the total to 85 million square feet of warehouse space globally available to its clients, who are Amazon aggregators, enterprise-level brands, and top Amazon sellers.

Coral Springs, Florida-based MyFBAPrep offers a suite of e-commerce third party logistics (3PL) services including Amazon wholesale and private label, direct-to-consumer (DTC) fulfillment, and B2B retail. The company says that just as AirBnB connects travelers with vacant properties, it matches e-commerce sellers with warehouses that can pick, pack, and ship their products worldwide.


The latest expansion for the five-year-old company brings its network to over 100 warehouses located across the U.S. and in international markets including Mexico, Europe, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

It also allows the company to provide a wider array of e-commerce logistics solutions, which now include: Amazon 1P and 3P (FBA); DTC fulfillment with nationwide 1-2 day shipping; retail replenishment (B2B) including Walmart, Target, Amazon and grocery; storage; cold chain services; reverse logistics; domestic trucking; container drayage; and value-added services (VAS) including kitting, bundling, assembly and more.

“Our expansion gives MyFBAPrep clients a competitive advantage with one-stop shopping at strategically located warehouses, cutting down on expensive trucking and transit times. With our network and our comprehensive service offerings, we really have a powerful full-service logistics stack,” Tom Wicky, co-founder and CEO of MyFBAPrep, said in a release. “From port to porch, leveraging our proprietary SaaS-based technology, Preptopia, and our leading white-glove customer service, we are positioned to help virtually any brand or marketplace seller.”

Supply chain groups push back on Trump tariff plan

Industry groups across the spectrum of supply chain operations today are pushing back against the Trump Administration plan to apply steep tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, saying the additional fees are taxes that will undermine their profit margins, slow their economic investments, and raise prices for consumers.

Even as a last-minute deal today appeared to delay the tariff on Mexico, that deal is set to last only one month, and tariffs on the other two countries are still set to go into effect at midnight tonight.

Average container transit time in Q4 climbed from 60 days to 68 days

Businesses dependent on ocean freight are facing shipping delays due to volatile conditions, as the global average trip for ocean shipments climbed to 68 days in the fourth quarter compared to 60 days for that same quarter a year ago, counting time elapsed from initial booking to clearing the gate at the final port, according to E2open.

Those extended transit times and booking delays are the ripple effects of ongoing turmoil at key ports that is being caused by geopolitical tensions, labor shortages, and port congestion, Dallas-based E2open said in its quarterly “Ocean Shipping Index” report.

Women hold only 12% of transportation and storage jobs worldwide

Women are significantly underrepresented in the global transport sector workforce, comprising only 12% of transportation and storage workers worldwide as they face hurdles such as unfavorable workplace policies and significant gender gaps in operational, technical and leadership roles, a study from the World Bank Group shows.

This underrepresentation limits diverse perspectives in service design and decision-making, negatively affects businesses and undermines economic growth, according to the report, “Addressing Barriers to Women’s Participation in Transport.” The paper—which covers global trends and provides in-depth analysis of the women’s role in the transport sector in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA)—was prepared jointly by the World Bank Group, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the International Transport Forum (ITF).
