FULFIL

Amazon fulfilment UK - 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 selling partners use a mix of Amazon fulfilment and shipping their own orders.

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 centers, and we’ll handle shipping, customer service, refunds, and returns for those products. You can track your FBA inventory in Seller Central.

When to handle orders yourself

Fulfilment by seller might be right if your products aren’t ideal for FBA—for instance, hazardous goods 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 by seller allows you to:
  • Keep your inventory on hand
  • 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

Leverage the Prime badge while you fulfil your own orders

Seller Fulfilled Prime allows you to deliver Prime products directly from your own warehouse. You retain full inventory control, while enjoying the benefits of the Prime badge - a prized guarantee of service that increases visibility and attracts repeat purchases. You just have to commit to fulfilling orders with Unlimited, fast One-Day Delivery on millions of items at no additional charge for Prime customers, using Amazon-approved transportation solutions. As soon as you complete the Seller Fulfilled Prime trial period, your enrolled products will be displayed with a Prime badge.

Amazon's drop shipping policy

Drop-shipping is when you enlist a third-party to fulfil 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.
