Amazon handles the last mile brilliantly, but the first mile — getting your inventory from China (or anywhere else) to Amazon's fulfilment centres in Ireland and Europe, is where many sellers get stuck. Customs delays, strict FBA prep requirements, high warehousing costs, and slow restocking. That's exactly where E2G Logistics steps in as your reliable 3PL partner, specialising in China-to-Ireland/UK FBA first-mile services.
Why the First Mile Matters So Much for Irish & European Sellers
Ireland's e-commerce market is growing strongly (valued at €5-6 billion in 2024 with 8-10% annual growth projected through 2030, per Statista and Mordor Intelligence), but many e-commerce businesses — particularly small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)— struggle to scale FBA effectively because of inbound logistics challenges:
Customs clearance and VAT headaches
Strict Amazon prep (labelling, poly-bagging, bundling, quality checks)
Expensive or slow overseas shipping and restocking
High warehousing and handling costs in Europe
Language and communication barriers with European teams
These issues can lead to rejected shipments, extra fees, lost sales, and frustrated customers. E2G Logistics eliminates these bottlenecks by offering a complete suite of customised e-commerce solutions tailored specifically for the Irish and European markets
How E2G Logistics Makes Your First Mile Effortless & Cost-Effective
At E2G Logistics, we specialise in China-to-Ireland/UK FBA first-mile services. Generally speaking, first-mile logistics is the crucial first step in the supply chain, moving goods from their origin (manufacturer, supplier, retailer) to the first major hub, like a warehouse or distribution centre, involving picking, packaging, documentation, and initial transport to set up the rest of the delivery journey. It's vital for ensuring downstream efficiency, as errors here can cause costly delays and impact customer satisfaction later in the "middle" and "last" mile.
With our self-operated warehouse network (over 25,000 sqm across three modern facilities) and dedicate freight transport operations in Dublin, we provide end-to-end support that turns your first-mile bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
Here’s how we do it:
Complete FBA Prep
From China pickup to Amazon delivery: quality inspection, SKU labeling, poly-bagging, bundling, secure packaging, shipment creation, and compliant carton/pallet labeling. We follow Amazon's strict guidelines to the letter, drastically reducing rejection risks. Plus, we offer full freight forwarding (air/sea), customs clearance, and last-mile trucking in Ireland—all in one integrated service.
Massive Self-Operated Warehouse Capacity
We operate over 25,000 square meters of modern warehousing in Dublin, with ample space for receiving, inspecting, and prepping your inventory. Our facilities meet the highest EU standards for safety, cleanliness, and efficiency—keeping your cargo and goods in safe hands. No more worrying about storage bottlenecks—your goods are secure, organised, and ready for quick turnaround to Amazon's SNN5 warehouse.
Bonded Warehouse Advantage
We also offer bonded warehousing services to optimise your tax costs and handle transit/transfer operations flexibly — perfect for minimising duties and VAT burdens when moving goods into Europe.
Bilingual Communication Advantage
With a fully bilingual (English-Chinese) team online around the clock, we eliminate language barriers. Whether coordinating with your suppliers in China or resolving issues in Europe, we ensure clear, fast communication—no misunderstandings, no delays.
Whether you're a new seller entering the Irish/European market or an established seller looking for a more stable, cost-effective supply chain, E2G Logistics is your trusted partner to get your products into Amazon FBA quickly, compliantly, and affordably.
