Amazon Prime / Amazon's Shipping Services tool

Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is paid subscription program from Amazon that offers users a guaranteed free same/one/two-day delivery and other benefits. Becoming a Prime Seller allows you to reach over 100 million Prime customer base and increase your competitive edge. 

To get your Items on Amazon Prime, you need to use FBA or join the Seller Fulfilled Prime program and maintain good seller metrics. Once it is done, your Items will be highlighted with a Prime badge and guaranteed delivery message on Amazon.

Quick delivery remains the main advantage of Amazon Prime. With the Seller Fulfilled Prime, you are required to use only eligible carriers to meet the high delivery performance standards. You may pay for the shipping with your Seller Central account, then hand the orders to the selected carrier for transportation.

Please note that Amazon establishes its own rates on the shipping labels from the eligible carriers.

M2E Pro Amazon Shipping Service tool allows you to select the proper carrier and print the shipping label for the Prime order fulfillment. Yet, you can provide reliable delivery for non-Prime sales via the Amazon Shipping Services tool.

M2E Pro Amazon Shipping Service tool is applicable only for the US, UK, and DE marketplaces.
