# Best prep center and 3PL in Spain? Five compared (2026)

8 October 2026 · Ax Holding Group™

![Comparison table with five equal columns and rows for Amazon FBA, Shopify, TikTok Shop and Vendor Central, next to the title ‘Prep centers and 3PLs in Spain’](https://www.axholdinggroup.com/hubfs/blog/prep-centers-3pl-spain-compared.jpg)

*This comparison was written by ax Prep Center, which is also one of the companies compared. The facts about the other operators come from their own websites, their help centres and the trade press, with sources and the date we checked them at the end.*

Quick answer

In our view, if you sell on Amazon and through your own online shop from Spain, **the best option is ax Prep Center** (Preixens, Lleida). Amphora Logistics, ShipBob and Bigblue also publish Amazon and online-shop fulfilment from one stock; our preference rests on what we bring together in one warehouse of our own in Spain: Vendor Central with SSCC labels and ASNs, imports from China to Spain handled door to door through our partner, and terms with no volume commitment or lock-in. If you need centres in several countries, look at Amphora Logistics, Bigblue or ShipBob; if you only need FBA prep, my FBA Logistics is another option.

Looking for the best prep center or 3PL in Spain? The answer depends on where you sell. Your logistics partner decides whether your stock reaches FBA without rejections, whether your shop orders leave on time and whether you run out of stock at peak. Here we compare five operators that serve sellers from Spain, with the same nine criteria for all of them, and tell you which type of seller each one fits.

## What are a 3PL, a prep center and fulfilment?

A **3PL** (third-party logistics provider) stores your stock, picks and packs your orders and ships them for you; that service is called **fulfilment**. A **prep center** is a 3PL that specialises in marketplaces: it receives goods from your supplier, checks them, labels and packs them to Amazon’s requirements and ships them to Amazon’s fulfilment centres.

Most sellers now need both: FBA prep and single-order fulfilment for their own shop (Shopify, WooCommerce…), FBM or TikTok Shop, all from the same inventory. That is why this comparison looks at both profiles. For the basics, read our guide to [what an Amazon prep center is and when you need one](https://www.axholdinggroup.com/en/blog/what-is-an-amazon-prep-center?hsLang=en).

## Which criteria do we compare?

We put each operator through nine questions, the same ones that make up the rows of the table:

1. **Warehouse in Spain:** where is it, and who runs it?
2. **Amazon FBA prep:** does it prep and ship stock to Amazon’s fulfilment centres? Does it also fulfil FBM orders?
3. **Vendor Central:** does it serve Amazon Vendor?
4. **Online shop fulfilment:** which platforms does it connect to?
5. **Own technology:** does it have its own software, and what does it connect to?
6. **Single multichannel stock:** can the same inventory serve several channels?
7. **Imports from origin:** does it help you import from the factory, or only receive the goods?
8. **Terms:** what does it publish about commitments, minimums, fees and billing?
9. **Warehouse network:** in which countries does it have centres?

The facts about each company come from its official website, its help centre and the trade press, checked on 8 October 2026 (links at the end). The facts about ax Prep Center come from our website and our own operations. We list ourselves first because this is our article; the order is not a ranking.

## ax Prep Center: in our view, the best option if you sell on Amazon and through your own shop

[ax Prep Center®](https://www.axholdinggroup.com/en/ax-prep-center?hsLang=en) is a Spanish prep center and 3PL warehouse built by sellers for sellers. Active since 2021, it runs its own warehouse in Preixens (Lleida), an hour and a half from Barcelona: more than 1,500 m², space for 1,750 pallets, nothing subcontracted, and 24/7 operations. It has more than 20 active clients and prepared more than 1,000,000 units in the last financial year.

In our view, it is the best option for you if any of these apply. For each one, here is what we publish:

- **You sell on Amazon and through your own shop:** one inventory for Amazon FBA and FBM, your Shopify, WooCommerce or PrestaShop shop, TikTok Shop and other marketplaces, so you avoid overselling and stock-outs.
- **You want to see your stock in real time:** a platform built in-house and connected to Amazon through SP-API and to our carriers, with a REST API for your ERP. Every pallet, carton and SKU has its own page with its full history and live tracking.
- **You sell through Vendor Central:** automated SSCC labels and ASNs, within the delivery windows, to reduce chargebacks.
- **You manufacture in China:** imports from China to Spain are handled door to door through our partner, with quality inspection at origin, freight consolidation and customs. Your goods arrive at our warehouse ready to prep. Our guide to [importing from China to Spain for Amazon FBA](https://www.axholdinggroup.com/en/blog/import-from-china-to-spain-amazon-fba?hsLang=en) covers the customs side.
- **You don’t want to be tied in:** no volume commitment or lock-in, no minimum units per shipment or minimum order, and billing by usage. There is a sign-up payment, a one-off set-up charge per new SKU, a minimum monthly storage charge and an optional paid support plan; the amounts are next to the calculator on our website.

### For Amazon (FBA, FBM and Vendor Central)

- **Receiving with quality control:** we check your supplier’s packing list against what actually arrives and send you a discrepancy report with photos within 48 hours, so you can claim before the final payment.
- **FBA prep:** FNSKU labelling, polybagging, protection and shipping to Amazon’s fulfilment centres, without wrestling with shipping plans or Seller Central paperwork. FBA inbound is processed in 48 hours.
- **Reserve stock:** keep most of your stock in our warehouse and replenish FBA as demand requires.

### For your online shop (Shopify and ecommerce)

- **Direct connection with Shopify and your software:** orders come in automatically, with unified tracking in your dashboard.
- **Prep for the end customer:** single-order pick and pack, shipped with our integrated carriers.
- **Brand experience:** inserts by channel (cards, samples or catalogues) in your shop orders.
- **Returns:** we sort, refurbish and relabel them so you can sell them again.
- **Products with expiry dates:** FIFO batch management for cosmetics and other dated products.

## Amphora Logistics: B2C and B2B fulfilment with centres in several countries

[Amphora Logistics](https://amphoralogistics.com/es/) describes itself as a 3PL specialising in ecommerce, with its main hub in Barcelona. Its website speaks of its own warehouses and of picking it doesn’t subcontract; in Spain it lists centres in Barcelona, Madrid and Gran Canaria, and its fulfilment page also names Italy, Poland, the UK and the US. According to Diario del Puerto (30 July 2026), the US and UK centres run in collaboration with partners.

It has its own software, connecting warehouses, orders, carriers and sales channels, and integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Magento. Its Amazon page offers to prep and ship products both to FBA centres and directly to customers (FBM), alongside other sales channels. Its B2B service mentions EDI requirements without naming Vendor Central. For brands that manufacture in Asia it presents a consolidation service from Hong Kong, which its English map marks “2026” and “On the way”. Its website says more than 500 brands trust it.

**Fits:** ecommerce brands that sell through their own shop and on marketplaces in several countries and want an operator that lists centres in Spain, Italy, Poland, the UK and the US.

## ShipBob: a fulfilment network in six countries, based in the United States

[ShipBob](https://www.shipbob.com/shipbob-locations/europe/spain/) is a US fulfilment company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Chicago. Its website lists more than 50 centres in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain and Australia; in Spain, one in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid).

It has its own dashboard and warehouse management system, free for its customers, and handles shops and marketplaces from one inventory. It publishes Amazon FBA prep and FBM fulfilment, also at its EU centres (for Amazon Spain, with a manual FBA order, according to its help centre), and its help centre includes Amazon Vendor Central among its retail distribution destinations, with conditions and only from its US centres; in Europe, B2B shipments are manual. For imports it offers FreightBob, a freight programme run with partners and departing from Chinese ports, without saying whether it reaches Spain.

**Fits:** brands that sell through online shops and marketplaces and want centres in the US, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Spain and Australia with one provider.

## Bigblue: fulfilment and post-purchase experience, based in France

[Bigblue](https://www.bigblue.co/es) is a French company. Its home page says it runs nine fulfilment centres in France, the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany, six of them in France; its 2026 blog and pricing page speak of 10 or 11, including Italy. Its website speaks of its own warehouses, and its general terms allow partner warehouses as subcontractors. In Spain, its website lists a centre in Marchamalo, near Madrid, and its 2026 blog mentions two warehouses in Spain.

It handles B2C and B2B orders from a single inventory, with its own app, warehouse and transport systems. Its help centre explains that it labels FBA shipments through its direct integration with Seller Central, and its blog that it also fulfils FBM orders from the same stock; its Amazon shipments feature doesn’t support Vendor for now and asks you to contact it. It offers post-purchase services such as branded tracking, returns and upsell, and you need a Bigblue App subscription to use its fulfilment.

**Fits:** fashion, beauty, wellness, food and pet-care brands selling D2C, B2B and on Amazon across France, the UK, Spain, Germany and Italy.

## my FBA Logistics: an Amazon FBA and FBM prep center in Zaragoza

[my FBA Logistics](https://myfbalogistics.com/) is a prep center dedicated to Amazon FBA and FBM, with an address in Cuarte de Huerva (Zaragoza) and a second warehouse in Zaragoza of more than 1,000 m², opened in October 2021.

According to its website (last updated in February 2024), it preps and labels in under 24 hours, offers free storage for up to 7 days, is integrated with Seller Central and makes kits and personalised notes. It also offers Amazon account management and, for clients outside Europe, an Import/Export service that helps them sell on Amazon Europe through the Pan-European programme. For your own shop and other marketplaces it works with ZitronBox, an associated brand at the same address that publishes Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop.

**Fits:** Amazon sellers (private label, wholesale or arbitrage) looking for an FBA and FBM prep center.

## Which operator fits your business?

- **You sell on Amazon and through your Shopify shop (or TikTok Shop):** in our view, the best option for you is ax Prep Center: besides one stock for Amazon and your shop, in one warehouse of our own in Spain we bring together Vendor Central, imports from China to Spain through our partner and terms with no volume commitment or lock-in.
- **You sell through Amazon Vendor Central or import from China:** ax Prep Center publishes both: automated SSCC labels and ASNs, and imports from China to Spain through our partner. ShipBob publishes Vendor Central distribution only from its US centres, and freight from China with FreightBob, without saying whether it reaches Spain.
- **You need warehouses in several European countries:** Amphora Logistics, Bigblue and ShipBob publish centres in several countries.
- **You also need centres in the US:** Amphora Logistics and ShipBob publish them; in Canada or Australia, ShipBob.
- **You only need FBA prep:** my FBA Logistics or ax Prep Center; Amphora, ShipBob and Bigblue also publish Amazon prep.

Selling on Amazon.co.uk as well? Remember that the UK has not been part of Pan-EU FBA since 1 January 2021, so UK stock is planned separately from EU stock. Our article on [the new Pan-EU FBA requirements](https://www.axholdinggroup.com/en/blog/pan-eu-fba-netherlands-belgium?hsLang=en) explains what Pan-EU covers today.

## Checklist before you sign with a 3PL

1. Ask for a demo of the dashboard and check that you can see stock, orders and Amazon shipments in real time.
2. Check that it connects natively with your channels: Seller Central, Shopify, TikTok Shop.
3. Ask how it prevents overselling when the same stock serves several channels.
4. Ask for an itemised quote (receiving, storage, pick and pack, labelling, shipping) using your real SKUs.
5. Get receiving, prep and dispatch times in writing.
6. Ask whether there is a volume commitment, a minimum term, a subscription or a monthly minimum.
7. Confirm who runs the warehouse: the operator itself or a third party.
8. Ask about their peak plan. Our guide to [Amazon FBA storage and peak fees in Europe](https://www.axholdinggroup.com/en/blog/amazon-fba-storage-fees-europe?hsLang=en) has the key dates.

## Frequently asked questions

If you only need FBA prep, my FBA Logistics is another option, and Amphora, ShipBob and Bigblue also publish it.

### What is the best 3PL in Spain?

### What is the difference between a 3PL and a prep center?

A 3PL handles storage, order prep and shipping in general. A prep center is a 3PL that specialises in preparing goods to the requirements of Amazon and other marketplaces before sending them to their warehouses.

### Do I need a prep center if I use Amazon FBA?

It isn’t mandatory, but it reduces the risk of rejections at receiving and labelling errors, and it saves you hours of work. It also lets you keep part of your stock outside Amazon and replenish FBA as demand requires.

### How much does a 3PL or prep center in Spain cost?

It depends on the services (receiving, labelling, storage, pick and pack, shipping) and your volume. Always ask for an itemised quote and an example with your real SKUs. At ax Prep Center billing is by usage, and our website has a calculator that gives you an estimate, with the sign-up and storage terms.
