This makes sense considering I have been arguing about PRIME in my last few posts.

We have been in the process switching to Amazon Prime for more than a month now. Four weeks ago, Amazon gave us a time frame of approximately 3 weeks. In conversations with Amazon over last 10 days, we expect Prime to be up and running in October. The online demand for our product from multiple geographic locations has caused Amazon to forward or place inventory of VitaminFIZZ in 3 of their Prime warehouses in the USA (requiring more time). Again, the addition of 2 flavors has compounded the logistics and mechanics further. While this is frustrating to all of US, the point is that it is being done responsibly and efficiently as is available to US. Prime is expected to be fully operational in late October.

Amazon would know where in the country VF is selling the best based on their invoices and move VF to those three fulfillment centers. A quick glance at Amazon's page says they currently have 14 fulfillment centers (FYI, for those that do not know, fulfillment centers are used to ship PRIME)

Fulfillment Centers:
Arizona
California
Delaware
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Nevada
New Hampshire
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington

As of August 2013 Amazon had 89 warehouses across the US.
