Amazon FBA vs European 3PL: Which Inbound from China?

Amazon FBA vs European 3PL: Which Inbound from China?
Quick answer
  • FBA: Amazon sells and stores, but labels and appointments are strict
  • 3PL: better if you also sell TikTok Shop, Shopify, eBay, or Allegro
  • TY Freight delivers DDP to either an Amazon FC or your 3PL address
  • Many sellers split: fast SKUs to FBA, the rest to a 3PL in NL or DE

FBA inquiries are only one slice of Europe e-commerce freight. If you also sell on TikTok, Shopify, or marketplaces, a 3PL inbound is often easier than forcing every carton through Amazon.

Choose FBA When

The SKU is already winning on Amazon and you want Prime. Send shipment ID and FC address.

Choose a 3PL When

You sell on more than one channel, need returns handling, or Amazon keeps changing FCs. We deliver DDP to Netherlands, Germany, Poland, or UK warehouse addresses.

Same China Side

Either way: multi-supplier consolidation, 7-day free storage, optional QC, then road, rail, or sea.
