Fullfilled by Amazon.
It is the program where third party sellers can send their products to Amazons warehouses, and Amazon then handles the shipping to the customer. The big advantage is that this makes the products eligible for Amazon Prime, as opposed to products that get shipped by the third party themselves.
- gaius 8y agoIt’s more insidious than that: Amazon commingling means that the merchants inventory which may be all counterfeit is indistinguishable from genuine articles prior to the buyer actually receiving it. If you want to be safe avoid any product that has both Amazon and FBA.
- bootlooped 8y agoThey have a program now for sellers to qualify for merchant-fulfilled Prime. I'm assuming they have to be able to guarantee they can do 2-day shipping, and there is some sort of oversight to ensure they're meeting that. I'm not sure how widespread the program is. I did purchase something within the last year that was listed as Prime, got to me in 2 days, but did not ship from an Amazon fulfillment center.
