Introducing Amazon Supply Chain Services: Amazon’s logistics network, now open to every business

Any business can now move, store, and deliver everything from raw materials to finished products using the same supply chain that supports Amazon and its independent selling partners.Multichannel Fulfillment (MCF), the third-party logistics (3PL) service within ASCS, now lets new and hundreds of thousands of existing Multichannel Fulfillment merchants (MCF) selling in the U.S. add fast, free Prime delivery as a shipping option on their own websites at no additional cost, helping drive first-time and repeat purchases while allowing them to retain their existing returns and customer service experiences.Separately, ASCS also launched the MCF Preferred Pricing Program that allows Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) sellers to save up to 25% on fulfillment fees for orders placed across their own websites, marketplaces, and social media channels.These offerings complement ASCS’ Buy with Prime service, which combines fast, free Prime delivery with shopper customer service and easy returns. Together, these offerings help merchants increase sales and lower fulfillment costs wherever they sell.

Does offering Prime delivery on your website increase sales?For Gabriella Luksander, general manager at Skinnies Instant Lifts, the results have been immediate.“When our shoppers see Prime delivery on our website, it changes their confidence level, especially first-time buyers,” Luksander said. “Since enabling it, we've seen a nearly 10% increase in sales, orders go out in about a day and a half, and ‘where is my order?’ inquiries have nearly disappeared. For a small team, that reliability makes all the difference.”The data backs that up. According to a survey, 40% of Prime members are more likely to make a first-time purchase from a site showing the Prime logo, and 50% are more likely to buy again from sites offering Prime delivery benefits. Among early merchant adopters, more than 40% of eligible orders on average have shipped with Prime delivery, demonstrating strong early uptake of the option.
