Overview

Amazon has added two new carriers—Ader and Sending—to its integrated shipping options for seller‑fulfilled orders. The carriers appear as selectable choices in the shipment confirmation screen, allowing sellers to enter tracking numbers directly and automatically push delivery updates to buyers. This change eliminates manual workarounds and helps maintain the valid tracking rate that Amazon uses to assess account health.

Key Points

• New carrier list — Ader and Sending now show up in the carrier drop‑down menu when confirming self‑fulfilled shipments.
• Native tracking entry — Sellers can type the carrier‑provided tracking ID in the dedicated field, and Amazon records the number without extra formatting steps.
• Real‑time buyer updates — Once a shipment is confirmed, tracking data streams to the order status page, giving customers live visibility of delivery progress.
• Reduced support tickets — Automatic updates cut down on “where is my package?” inquiries, a frequent source of extra workload for self‑fulfillers.
• Improved valid‑tracking metrics — Integrated carriers validate IDs against their own databases, lowering the chance of false‑negative tracking rejections that can hurt performance scores.

How the New Carrier Integration Works

1. Select carrier — In Seller Central, open the pending order, click Confirm Shipment, and choose either Ader or Sending from the carrier list. For example, a seller shipping a kitchen gadget might pick Ader for a regional drop‑off.
2. Enter tracking ID — Type the numeric tracking number supplied by the carrier. Ader requires a 7‑ or 9‑digit code such as 1234567 or 123456789; Sending expects a 12‑digit code like 123456789012. The system validates the length instantly, rejecting any mismatched entry.
3. Submit confirmation — After entering the ID, click Confirm. Amazon then pushes the tracking information to the buyer’s order page, where a progress bar shows “In Transit,” “Out for Delivery,” and final “Delivered” statuses without any further seller action.
