Seller fulfillment

In this model, you fulfill orders from your own facility and are responsible for every aspect of the fulfillment process. You must follow the Amazon Business packaging requirements and meet the high performance standards customers expect from Amazon Business.

 

You handle:

• Pricing

• Shipping

• Packing

• Customer service

• Storage

 

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)

Sellers of all sizes leverage the advanced global Amazon fulfillment network to scale their businesses and reach more customers. Your products are stored in Amazon fulfillment centers and orders are fulfilled by Amazon.

 

You handle:

• Pricing

 

Amazon handles:

• Shipping

• Packing

• Customer service

• Storage

 

Many business sellers take a mixed approach to fulfillment. They find that some products can be more effectively stored and shipped from their own facilities, while other products are more suited for FBA.

Many of today’s procurement professionals are Prime members in their private lives, and increasingly expect the same convenience when purchasing for work. These business customers recognize and trust the Prime logo, which represents fast shipping and superior customer service.
