Amazon UK has announced two new shipping services—Amazon Freight and Amazon Shipping—designed to provide UK sellers with more efficient and cost-effective logistics options. This update, shared via Amazon UK's Seller Central platform, offers solutions for both bulk freight and parcel deliveries, aiming to simplify the shipping process for sellers operating within the UK.
Amazon Freight: Optimized Bulk Shipping
Amazon Freight caters to sellers needing to transport large quantities of goods. It offers:
Full Truckload (FTL): Suitable for sellers who can fill an entire trailer, ensuring direct delivery without intermediate stops.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL): Ideal for smaller shipments that don't require a full trailer, allowing multiple sellers to share space and costs.
Sellers can use Amazon Freight for deliveries to Amazon fulfillment centers or their facilities, leveraging a network of over 9,200 trailers and 10,000 carrier partners. This service not only reduces shipping costs but also supports environmental sustainability by minimizing empty miles.
