Amazon Partnered Carrier options
This page provides information about the partnered carrier options that are available
to FBA sellers for both small parcel deliveries (SPD) and less than truckload/full
truckload (LTL/FTL) shipments (also called pallet shipments) within the UK, France,
Germany and Spain.
-
SPDs consist of units packed in boxes, and each box is individually labelled
for delivery. These are typically smaller shipments that are sent via UPS or
DHL in Germany.
-
Pallet shipment combines individual boxes on pallets for delivery. These are
typically shipped via UPS Freight or Kuehne+Nagel.
Note: Partnered pallet shipments are available in the UK, Germany, Spain and France for
domestic and cross-border shipments to fulfilment centres. The option is currently
unavailable for sellers dispatching from an address in Italy.
Amazon partnered SPD carrier
When preparing your shipment to a fulfillment center via the shipment creation
workflow, you will see an option to use an Amazon partnered carrier in the
Delivery servicessection.
Note: For cross-border
shipments, this option will only be enabled for eligible shipments. Only small
parcel deliveries that originate in an Amazon European store and are delivered
to any of our European fulfillment centers are permitted.
To participate in this service, use the following steps:
-
Select Amazon partnered carrier in the shipment
creation workflow.
-
Once you enter the details of your delivery, you will receive an estimate of
the delivery charges.
-
Before accepting the delivery charges, carefully review the Amazon
Partnered Carrier terms and conditions for participation in the
program, as well as the carrier terms and conditions.
-
Click Accept charges.
-
After you have completed your delivery, contact your carrier to schedule the pick up.
Alternatively, you can take the package to a local carrier’s pickup
center.
Shipping charges are based on the dimensions and weight of the parcels or pallets,
the address where the shipment originated and the destination fulfillment center.
The estimated cost of these charges will be subject to adjustment if Amazon or the
carrier determines that the actual weight or dimensions of the package are different
from the weight or dimensions provided by you. Learn more about providing box
details.
Note: FBA units must be packaged according to requirements from
Amazon and your carrier. For more information, see
Packaging
requirements.
Amazon partnered pallet carrier
To participate in partnered carrier pallet shipments, use the following steps:
-
Select Amazon Partnered Carrier in the
Delivery Service section of the shipment creation
workflow.
Note: This option will only be enabled for eligible
marketplaces and postcodes.
-
Once you enter the details of your delivery, you will receive an estimate
for the delivery charges. You will also receive an estimated pickup date.
Your pickup date will be either on the freight-ready date or two days from
when the estimate is accepted, whichever is greater.
-
Before accepting the delivery charges, carefully review the Amazon
Partnered Carrier terms and conditions for participation in the
program, as well as the carrier terms and conditions.
-
Click Accept charges.
-
After you have completed your shipment, the carrier will email the point of
contact for your business, which is provided during the shipment booking,
the day before the shipment is due to be picked up.
Delivery charges are based on the quantity, dimensions and weight of pallet or
pallets, the address where the delivery originated and the destination fulfillment
center. The estimated cost of these charges will be subject to adjustment if Amazon
or the carrier determines that the actual weight or dimensions of the package are
different from the weight or dimensions provided by you, or if the products on the
pallets need to be re-stacked or if the pallets are damaged.
Note: FBA units must be packaged according to requirements from Amazon and your carrier.
For more information, see
packaging requirements.
Important: The Amazon Partnered Carrier program prohibits transporting
dangerous goods or hazardous material (hazmat). Learn more about the
shipping and routing
requirements.
Cancelling an Amazon partnered carrier shipment
You can cancel Amazon partnered SPD shipments up to 24 hours after approving the

shipments. You can cancel the charges for Amazon partnered pallet shipments up
to one hour after you have approved the charges. Contact Selling Partner Support
