For many sellers, the experience and capital costs required to manage logistics and operations such as inventory storage , fulfillment and order fulfillment are increasing. In fact, a recent survey of Amazon sellers in the United States shows that the three biggest pain points for sellers in the upstream warehousing and distribution business are high warehousing prices, complex fee structures, and insufficient warehousing capacity.
