I guys. I am in Canada and I just started shopify.
The biggest problem I face now is logistics, because they are too expensive. For example, from Toronto to Vancouver, $22/DHL. I am not saying that this is the most suitable price, but Canada post/UPS prices are similar, and they are more unstable (accidents in transit).
However, I found Shopify Fulfillment Network (SFN) and Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF form amazon). They seem to have an advantage in price, and fast! Could you guys please give me some suggestions? About their advantages and disadvantages!
Hi @spongebobabka ,
Really great to see your interest in expanding your business and SFN.
One of the primary advantages of SFN is that they take care of a lot of the extra aspects you might have to do yourself, especially for international shipping. Some of the other advantages of SFN include:
Are there any specifics you’re looking into or would like with SFN? Let me know and I can look into that further if you’d like.
And last but not least, to see if you’re eligible to use SFN you can see the product eligibility guide here.

@spongebobabka I’ve been using MCF on a store for about 5 years now and it’s been great.
SFN I haven’t used yet but from what I’ve read the pricing is similar, and bonus you can have better control of your branding (instead of shipping in an Amazon box).
I would give SFN a go if you qualify, but since you just started you might not reach the order threshold (I think it’s 10 units a day last time I checked).
I wrote a guide talking about these 2 services and how I automate fulfillment using Amazon: https://speedboostr.com/automate-order-fulfillment-on-shopify
