1. Manufacturing

Once your products have been manufactured, you can decide to:

Sell your inventory

If you plan to immediately sell your inventory, you can send your products to Amazon fulfilment centres so they can be used to satisfy demand.



Store your inventory


If you need to store your inventory, you can send your products to Amazon fulfilment centres for storage.

You should evaluate your transportation needs based on whether you plan to sell or store your inventory and whether your goods are manufactured overseas or domestically.




2. Transportation

You can get your products where they need to go with the help of Amazon.

Amazon Global Logistics offers ocean and air freight at competitive rates, and will help you navigate customs brokerage into the UK if you are shipping internationally.

Choose the size and speed of your booking and conveniently track shipments with added options for pick-up service, palletisation, labelling, and cargo insurance.

Ship your cargo to Amazon fulfilment centres to be used to satisfy downstream customer demand or to be stored.

Amazon Freight moves your full truckload freight, simply and reliably, with a network of 30,000+ Amazon trailers and carriers. Amazon Freight’s network runs 24/7, 365 days a year, with visibility from quote to payment.

4. Order fulfilment

Use Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) – a 3PL solution offered by Amazon – for fast, reliable order fulfilment for orders placed on any off-Amazon channel, including your website, an ecommerce marketplace, or a social media store.

Once your customer places an order, Amazon picks, packs, and ships the order, with delivery speeds as fast as one day and a >99% on-time delivery rate. Save time and automate your order fulfilment with MCF using one of the many prebuilt or custom integration options.
