Simplify operations
Let Amazon free you up for your core business, by managing your inventory placement, shipping carriers and fulfilment all across the EU.
Unbranded packaging
Orders are shipped in unbranded packaging that does not have an Amazon brand logo.*
*Unbranded packaging is available for suitable/sortable inventory. This does not include clothing and shoes, items larger than 45.72 x 35.56 x 20.32 cm and/or heavier than 9 kg.
How Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfilment works
Send all or some of your inventory directly to an Amazon fulfilment centre. When customers purchase products on your website or another third-party sales channel, we receive your orders and pick, pack and deliver them directly to your customers.
Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) is available with or without Fulfilment By Amazon (FBA). If you do use FBA to sell on Amazon, your existing inventory will serve both Amazon customers and customers from your other sales channels.
