FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon)

Logistics & Distribution

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is Amazons logistics service where sellers ship inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers, and Amazon handles storage, packing, shipping, and customer returns. Sellers pay fees for storage, weight, and fulfillment. FBA is a popular option for e-commerce sellers who want to avoid managing their own warehouses, though it limits control over the fulfillment experience and can be more expensive than using a third-party 3PL for high-volume sellers.
