Overview

Amazon has added Poland to its Partnered Carrier program, allowing sellers who ship from Polish addresses to use Amazon‑negotiated small‑parcel rates for deliveries to fulfillment centers throughout Europe. The change takes effect immediately and gives Polish‑based sellers a cost‑effective way to move inventory to hubs in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and other EU locations. Sellers should care because lower transportation costs and a unified shipping workflow can improve margins and speed to market.

Key Points

• Program now live in Poland — Sellers with inventory in Warsaw, Kraków or any other Polish city can select Amazon’s partnered carriers when creating an FBA shipment.
• Cross‑border coverage — The discounted rates apply to parcels shipped to Amazon warehouses in at least four major European markets, including Germany’s Mönchengladbach and France’s Saran facilities.
• Single‑pane‑of‑glass experience — Shipping estimates, label printing, pickup scheduling and tracking are all handled inside Seller Central without needing a separate carrier portal.
• Updated terms — Amazon has refreshed the Partnered Carrier agreement to reflect Polish eligibility; acceptance is required before the option appears in the shipment workflow.
• Small‑parcel focus – The program is limited to parcels up to 70 kg and 150 cm in any dimension; larger pallet shipments still need external freight arrangements.

How the Partnered Carrier Program Works

1. Create an FBA shipment — In Seller Central, a Warsaw‑based seller selects “Create a new shipment” and enters the destination fulfillment center (e.g., Germany – Mönchengladbach). The system now shows a “Partnered Carrier” checkbox.
2. Enter package details — The seller inputs the parcel’s weight (e.g., 4.2 kg) and dimensions (45 × 30 × 20 cm). Amazon instantly calculates an estimated shipping charge, such as €7.90, which is typically 30‑40 % lower than the seller’s current carrier quote of €12.00.
3. Accept and generate label — After confirming the estimate, the seller prints a pre‑paid Amazon label directly from the platform. The label includes a barcode that links to Amazon’s carrier tracking system.
