Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) offers a powerful avenue for sellers to leverage the Prime badge on their products without needing to use Amazon’s fulfillment centers. This program allows sellers to manage orders directly from their own warehouses or through a third-party logistics provider (3PL), while still committing to the Prime-level standards of customer service and prompt delivery. In this article, we'll explain what Amazon SFP is and how CS Logistics & Distribution can ensure you meet all the necessary requirements to excel in the program.
What is Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime?
Seller Fulfilled Prime is a program designed by Amazon that allows sellers more flexibility in managing their inventory and shipping logistics. The main advantage of SFP is that it lets sellers list their products with the Prime badge, which typically increases visibility and sales. However, to maintain the integrity of the Prime service promise, Amazon requires participants to adhere to stringent performance metrics that include shipping speed, order accuracy, and customer service quality.
