Amazon has launched fulfillment services for sellers on the Walmart marketplace, Shopify and Shein as it continues to build Fulfillment by Amazon capabilities and the various logistics resources the company provides.
In a blog post, Dharmesh Mehta, Amazon vice president, worldwide selling partner services, stated the company’s Multi-Channel Fulfillment operation is expanding to support sellers using Walmart, Shopify and Shein, offering them the reliability provided by Amazon’s delivery network and building on the company’s proven success in seller fulfillment on sales channels, including eBay, Etsy, Temu and TikTok Shop.
Mehta said sellers using FBA and MCF have the advantages of working with a single pool of inventory across their sales channels, driving 19% fewer out-of-stocks on average and improving inventory turnover by 12%. Today, he asserted, Amazon supports more than 600,000 sellers worldwide, moving over five billion items annually through the company’s network of global logistics, domestic freight and bulk warehousing.
Amazon continues to provide delivery for orders beyond the company’s store — including their own websites, other retailers and social media channels through MCF — which on average drives a nearly 19% increase in sales, Menta indicated. With MCF, Amazon manages the operations for all of a seller’s sales channels, including picking, packing and delivering.
In addition, Mehta reported Amazon is expanding worldwide distribution capabilities through a new service called Global Warehousing and Distribution (GWD), enabling sellers to hold products in bulk and at lower cost near the point of manufacture, then releasing them to various destination countries when needed. Because Amazon manages warehousing and global logistics, sellers in early pilots moved products from GWD into Amazon’s fulfillment network up to seven days faster than previously, helping them keep items in stock and ready for same- or next-day delivery to customers, Mehta said.
As the company continues to develop fulfillment services and international trade patterns change, Supply Chain by Amazon is launching more direct arcs that connect the largest and fastest-growing manufacturing hubs directly with sellers’ most popular destination countries. The new shipping lanes enable faster speed and greater reliability, according to Mehta, and he added that by the end of 2026, AGL will provide shipping services that cover 96% of the inbound volume sellers send to FBA. The breadth of coverage results in fewer handoffs, more predictable schedules and a faster path to getting inventory positioned for same- and next-day Prime delivery, Mehta said.
To clear products shipped across borders, Amazon has applied generative AI to simplify and speed up the customs process by automatically providing classification and other necessary information, reusing information across documents to ensure consistency and flagging potential mistakes before they cause errors and delays. Early results show sellers are cutting their customs paperwork time by more than half, making a once complex process faster, simpler and more reliable, Mehta said.
