FULFILL

Getting shoppers their stuff

When an Amazon customer buys your product, either we can ship the order for you with Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) or you can ship it yourself. Many Amazon sellers use a mix of Amazon fulfilment and shipping their own orders.

Aim for fast, free shipping with Prime

Many Amazon customers look for products with the Prime badge because it represents fast, free shipping. Using FBA to ship your products is the easiest way to get the Prime badge for most offers.

How Fulfilment by Amazon works

When you sign up to sell on Amazon, you’re automatically enrolled in FBA for free. If you decide to go that route, you’ll send inventory to Amazon fulfilment centres, and we’ll handle shipping, customer service, refunds, and returns for those products. You can track your FBA inventory in Seller Central.

Benefits of Fulfilment by Amazon

Amazon handles the logistics so you can handle what matters most to you.
  • Eliminate your fulfilment headaches and get help scaling your business.
  • Outsource storage, customer service, and returns.
  • Offer FREE One-Day Delivery and Two-Day Shipping to Prime members.
  • Display the Prime badge on eligible products.
  • Improve your chance of winning the featured offer spot on detail pages.
There’s no minimum number of units and no obligation to use FBA for all your products. You have the freedom to customize your strategy to meet your ecommerce business’ needs.

When to handle orders yourself

Fulfilling orders yourself might be right if your products aren’t ideal for FBA—for instance, hazardous goods (sign-in required) that don’t meet fulfilment centre requirements or seasonal products that would incur excessive storage fees. Also, you may not need FBA if you already have a logistics network in place.

In cases like these, fulfilment your owns orders allows you to:
  • Keep your inventory in stock
  • Use your own packaging or labels
  • Stay profitable on products with tighter margins
  • Offer products that are eligible for sale on Amazon, but ineligible for FBA

Amazon's drop shipping policy

Drop-shipping is when you enlist a third-party to fulfill orders on your behalf. Amazon has very specific policies around this practice. If it’s a method you intend to use, make sure to follow these requirements to avoid losing your selling privileges.
