Supply Chain by Amazon Review & Pricing (2026)

Supply Chain by Amazon

3PLs / Prep Centers / Fulfillment

Supply Chain by Amazon is a bundled set of first-party Amazon logistics services covering pickup from manufacturers, cross-border shipping and customs, bulk storage, automated replenishment into fulfillment centers, and final delivery. Sellers can adopt a single component or the full end-to-end package, which Amazon offers as Amazon Managed Service. Amazon announced in May 2026 that the program is being renamed Amazon Supply Chain Services, and the official program pages now carry that name.

The program sits at the inbound and storage end of a seller's operation, upstream of the fulfillment step that FBA already handles. Its component programs, including FBA, Amazon Global Logistics, and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution, each require separate registration, so onboarding is multi-step rather than a single enrollment. Total cost depends on inventory weight, dimensions, lane, and season across several fee schedules. Businesses that do not sell on Amazon can open a standalone account.

Capabilities
Amazon Managed Service
The end-to-end option moving inventory from the manufacturing facility through customs, storage, replenishment, and final delivery in one workflow.
Amazon Global Logistics
Cross-border freight covering pickup at origin, ocean or air transport, customs clearance, and ground transportation into the Amazon network.
Warehousing and Distribution
Bulk storage that holds inventory outside FBA fulfillment centers and distributes it to Amazon or third-party destinations.
Automated Replenishment
Amazon monitors FBA inventory levels and moves units from bulk storage into fulfillment centers without seller intervention.
Partner Carrier Program and SEND
Domestic and export transportation options for moving inventory into the Amazon fulfillment network at discounted rates.
Multichannel Distribution
Distributes bulk inventory to non-Amazon destinations such as retail partners or a seller's own warehouse.
Unified Seller Central Tracking
Transportation, storage, distribution, and delivery across multiple sales channels are tracked from a single Seller Central view.
Modular Service Selection
Sellers can adopt one service, several, or the full end-to-end package rather than committing to the entire stack.
Strengths
Sellers can adopt individual services rather than the full stack, which allows incremental testing before broader commitment.
Amazon Warehousing and Distribution bulk storage is priced at one rate year-round, unlike FBA standard-size storage which rises in the fourth quarter.
Automated replenishment from bulk storage into FBA removes FBA capacity limits and low-inventory charges for the replenished units.
Logistics activity across Amazon and non-Amazon channels is visible in one Seller Central view rather than across separate vendor portals.
Businesses that do not sell on Amazon can open a standalone Amazon Supply Chain Services account.
Considerations
Amazon is renaming the program to Amazon Supply Chain Services, so teams should verify current program naming and page URLs before citing them internally.
Component programs require separate registration, including FBA, Amazon Global Logistics, and Buy with Prime, so onboarding is multi-step.
Total cost depends on inventory weight, dimensions, and season across several fee schedules, so teams should model their own SKU mix rather than rely on headline rates.
Delivery date promises for units held in bulk storage differ from those for units already at a fulfillment center, which may affect listing-level delivery speed.
Published discounts are tied to using specific combinations of services, so savings may be smaller for sellers who adopt only one component.
Service availability varies by region and lane, and high-volume arrangements route through a contact-sales process rather than published rates.
