Amazon Shipping insights & news
Affordable shipping methods
for e-commerce startups
Learn how to save time and effort so you can focus on surprising and delighting your customers with your products and continuously exceeding their expectations.
Competition is fierce in the e-commerce space, especially for startups. One of the most important aspects of operational success is the one that retailers often have the least control over: shipping. Shoppers want their orders on time and at the lowest cost, but retailers have to strike a balance between speed, reliability, and cost.

Amazon Sellers can use Amazon Shipping across their e-commerce selling channels.

Meeting everyone’s needs
Startups have a lot of competing priorities. You want to provide a positive customer experience without overwhelming your operation while also meeting expectations from your investors.
Paying high shipping costs can eat into profits, but researching providers and rates can take valuable time that could be better spent improving your own products and operations. At the same time, research shows that 85% of customers who don't receive a good delivery experience won't return to the seller.
Amazon Shipping can help you keep everyone happy. We offer competitive rates for two- to five-day* shipping. There are no residential surcharges or surprise fees. We also pick up and deliver seven days a week with no added costs, which speeds up ground shipping and increases efficiency in the warehouse, benefitting customers and employees alike.

Streamlining shipping operations
Your team is busy focusing on your core operations, and you don’t want to hand a complicated system over to your employees. Amazon Shipping works with the systems you already have in place. You can print shipping labels through Amazon Shipping’s Shipper Central, directly through our API integration, or with third-party integrators that you’ve already worked with, so your staff can be onboarded and start printing shipping labels right away.
One Amazon Shipping customer—KK Music—needed a shipping solution that would ship multiple orders from multiple online stores, including Amazon, and pick up at its warehouse. Juan Talavera, online business manager, for KK Music, said the company was able to fully integrate the ground shipping service into its fulfillment infrastructure to automatically print shipping labels.
Amazon Shipping can scale with your business as it grows, so you don't have to find new solutions to keep up with increased demand.

Cultivating a loyal customer base
Customers have high expectations, and getting shipping right is critical for e-commerce startups focused on building their brands. Package delivery is the final touchpoint in the online shopping experience. If it goes wrong, it can undermine all your hard work leading up to the sale.
Communication and transparency are important tools for giving customers peace of mind and building confidence. End-to-end tracking keeps your customers informed at every step of the shipping process. Tracking starts when you create your label and ends when Amazon Shipping takes a photograph and confirms the location of the delivery.
We know how crucial reliable shipping is to e-commerce sales growth, so we try to anticipate potential issues before they occur. Is a severe storm about to hit? We receive proactive alerts and reroute, if possible, to help minimize the risk of delays.
If an issue does arise, Amazon Shipping offers a simple and quick way to file a claim, with most claims being resolved less than a day. In addition, customer service is available 7 days a week via email, chat, and callback options.
