About Amazon Shipping
Learn what Amazon Shipping is, which selling channels it supports, and how it fits into your daily shipping operations.
Amazon Shipping is a package delivery service for businesses. Amazon Shipping collects packages from your warehouse and delivers them to your customers across the US—whether those orders come from Amazon, your own website, or other sales channels.
Your packages travel through Amazon’s logistics network, the same infrastructure that delivers millions of Amazon orders every day. That means automated sort facilities, an extensive delivery network, and built-in tracking.
Is Amazon Shipping right for your business?
If you ship packages from your own warehouse, Amazon Shipping is built for you. Amazon Shipping works for:
- Amazon sellers who fulfill their own orders
- Retailers and brands selling from their own website and shipping from their warehouse
- Businesses that sell on multiple channels and want the benefits of Amazon’s logistics network and delivery service
What makes Amazon Shipping different?
Built-in tracking |
Packages are tracked from collection to delivery. Your customers receive SMS and email updates, and you get photo confirmation of most deliveries. |
Transparent pricing |
No additional residential surcharges or weekend delivery fees. |
One service, across all your channels |
Use Amazon Shipping for orders from Amazon.com, your website, or other selling channels. |
Live support 7 days a week |
Our support team is available seven days a week with options for live chat and email, or to receive a callback if you would like. |
No. FBA involves sending your stock to Amazon’s warehouses, where Amazon stores, packs, and ships it. Amazon Shipping is different—you keep your stock in your own warehouse, pack your own orders, and we collect and deliver them.
No. Amazon Shipping supports orders from multiple sales channels, including Amazon.com, your own branded website, and other third-party ecommerce platforms. This means you can consolidate your shipping operations into a single service regardless of where your customers place their orders
Amazon Shipping delivers to about 95% of the population across 48 United States. A small delivery surcharge applies to remote and island postcodes. See the pricing section of this guide for full details.
Amazon orders
Orders from your own website or other channels
Note: Using Amazon Shipping for your Prime orders does not automatically enroll you in Seller Fulfilled Prime. You must apply separately through Seller Central and meet all SFP requirements.
Can you use Amazon Shipping for multiple sales channels?
Yes. Many businesses use Amazon Shipping for all their channels. You set up each channel when you register, and you can add or remove channels later as your business changes.
How do you create labels for each channel?
Amazon.com orders |
Generate labels in Seller Central, or through your order management system if it supports Amazon Shipping. |
Website and other channel orders |
Generate labels through Shipper Central (our web-based dashboard for creating labels, tracking shipments, and managing your account), through the Amazon Shipping API, or through a connected third-party platform such as Veeqo or ShipWise. |
Shipper Central is Amazon Shipping’s web-based dashboard. You use Shipper Central to create labels, schedule collections, track shipments, view invoices, file claims, and contact support. It’s included with your account at no extra charge.
Yes. Contact our support team through Shipper Central and they’ll guide you through the process.
That’s fine. You can use Amazon Shipping for website orders only, without connecting your Seller Central account.
