AMZ Prep Launches $2M Tariff Relief Fund to Support DTC Brands Amid Tariff Uncertainty

Global fulfillment partner shifts $2M from internal budgets to help eCommerce operators scale smarter

While many logistics providers respond to economic turbulence by cutting costs or increasing fees, AMZ Prep is betting big on its customers instead. Today, the Amazon and DTC fulfillment leader announced the launch of a $2 million Tariff Relief Fund aimed at supporting high-growth brands navigating the volatile U.S.-China tariff landscape.

Rather than funneling money into trade shows or internal marketing, AMZ Prep is redirecting those funds back into the brands they serve—helping them maintain margins, switch fulfillment partners, and scale efficiently.

“This isn’t about lead generation—it’s about leadership,” said Blair Forrest, founder of AMZ Prep. “If you’re betting on your brand, we’re betting on you.”

What’s Included in the Tariff Relief Fund?

The $2M+ initiative offers direct financial relief to qualified DTC brands through:

• Discounted fulfillment rates
• Free storage options
• Up to five figures in move credits
• Waived onboarding and integration fees
• Multi-year rate locks for cost predictability

This approach helps brands eliminate many of the financial and operational frictions that typically come with switching 3PLs or ramping up logistics during peak volatility.

“Every dollar we’re pulling from internal budgets is being reinvested into the success of our partners,” Forrest added.

AMZ Prep: A Strategic Fulfillment Partner

With more than 50 fulfillment centers across North America, Europe, and Australia, AMZ Prep handles millions of shipments annually for DTC, Amazon, and B2B brands. But it's more than just a shipping solution.

The company specializes in:

• Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP)
• Temperature-controlled storage
• Retail compliance
• International freight and bonded storage

Its tech stack includes real-time tracking, ERP and platform integrations (like Shopify, Amazon, and big-box retail), and high-touch support—enabling a full-stack logistics experience for today’s omnichannel brands.

Supporting Founders, Built by Founders

AMZ Prep’s story is rooted in resilience. Bootstrapped from a basement operation to a global logistics network supporting over $2 billion in annual commerce, the company is built on the principle that founders support founders.

The Tariff Relief Fund isn’t a short-term marketing ploy—it’s a strategic move that reflects AMZ Prep’s long-term commitment to partnership, flexibility, and operational excellence.

“When the economy shifts, great brands don’t wait—they move,” Forrest emphasized. “And we’re right there with them.”

How to Apply

The Tariff Relief Fund is now open to fast-growing eCommerce brands that meet the program's criteria. Accepted applicants will receive customized quotes and tailored transition plans.

As Q3 nears and tariff conditions remain unpredictable, AMZ Prep is encouraging brands to act decisively—and providing the infrastructure and financial flexibility to do so. For more information or to apply, visit amzprep.com.
