Overview

Amazon's Local Delivery program enables international sellers to fulfill orders directly to customers in their home country using locally stored inventory. This invitation-only pilot program gives sellers outside the United States the ability to offer faster shipping speeds and lower costs to domestic buyers shopping on Amazon.com, without incurring additional seller fees.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• No additional seller fees — Participation in the Local Delivery program comes at no extra cost to sellers, making it a straightforward way to expand domestic reach.
• Invitation-only enrollment — The program is currently a limited pilot available in select countries, and sellers must receive an invitation to participate.
• Faster domestic shipping — Customers in your home country benefit from three-to-five-day transit times (or faster) with no import fees attached to their orders.
• Improved product visibility — Enrolled products gain enhanced discoverability for domestic customers, including prominent placement in search results with a fast local-shipping badge.
• Better Buy Box chances — Local delivery can improve your odds of winning the Featured Offer (Buy Box) for customers in your home country.

How the Program Works

The Local Delivery program allows sellers based outside the United States to leverage inventory they already have stored in their home country. When a customer in that same country shops on Amazon.com, they can see your products with local shipping options — meaning faster delivery times and no international import fees. These benefits are displayed directly on the product detail page, in the offers listing, and through a dedicated search filter that highlights locally shipped items. Your products may also appear on merchandising pages tailored to customers in your country, giving you additional exposure.

Eligibility and Requirements

To qualify for the Local Delivery program, sellers must meet several conditions. You need to be located in a participating country and hold an Amazon.com account with a Professional selling plan. Your default shipping address must be set to your home country, and you must have inventory physically stored there to fulfill domestic orders. Sellers are also required to offer a standard shipping option with a maximum transit time of three to five days. It is important to note that if you change your default shipping address to a non-participating country, you will be automatically removed from the program.
