In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildive.com\/press-release\/20220725-survey-62-of-shoppers-expect-their-free-shipping-orders-to-arrive-in-3-bu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">62% of shoppers<\/a> now expect to get their orders in three business days without paying any additional fees on shipping.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But meeting this expectation can be challenging for small to mid-size ecommerce brands. Without the infrastructure, capital, or experience of giants like Amazon, these brands often struggle to provide a quick and affordable delivery experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately for merchants, solutions such as Ship with Amazon (SWA) are making it possible to offer fast and reliable shipping at minimal cost.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll cover what Amazon SWA is and how it can help you provide an outstanding post-purchase experience for customers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-amazon-swa-nbsp\">What is Amazon SWA?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-shipbob-blocks-blog-arrow-card blog-arrow-card\">\n<p>Ship with Amazon (SWA) is a shipping service available to Amazon selling partners. Now rebranded as <a href=\"https:\/\/shipping.amazon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Shipping<\/a>, the service lets you take advantage of Amazon\u2019s enormous transportation network to deliver your ecommerce brand\u2019s orders. The service isn\u2019t just limited to orders placed on Amazon, but also includes orders placed on your website and other sales channels, serving as an alternative to courier services like FedEx and UPS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides timely shipments, brands that use SWA have access to 24\/7 tracking, can file claims, and contact dedicated support. Pickups and deliveries take place throughout the week, and there are no extra charges for weekend deliveries. Packages are delivered between two to five days after they\u2019re shipped.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a better understanding of how Amazon SWA works, here\u2019s a step-by-step breakdown of how to ship with Amazon:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1. Purchase shipping labels from Amazon.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2. Schedule a pickup.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3. Amazon picks up the packages from your or your fulfilment partner\u2019s warehouse.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4. Amazon delivers the packages to your customers\u2019 doorsteps.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazon-swa-vs-fedex-vs-ups-nbsp\">Amazon SWA vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/usps-vs-ups-vs-fedex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FedEx vs. UPS<\/a>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it first launched in 2018, Amazon SWA was restricted to merchants with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/amazon-listing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon listings<\/a> selling on the company\u2019s marketplace. The pandemic slowed down its growth, with the company having to put a pause to the service in 2020, but came back stronger than ever after a rebrand to Amazon Shipping.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2022, it was already handling 22.5% of packages shipped within the U.S. according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2023\/09\/08\/amazon-shipping-compete-fedex-ups-stock-invest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pitney Bowes estimate<\/a>. This put it ahead of FedEx, which was handling 19.1% of shipments, and just falling behind UPS\u2019s share of 24.3%. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/amazon-vans-outnumber-ups-fedex-750f3c04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wall Street Journal reports<\/a> that Amazon Shipping has since grown to surpass FedEx and UPS as the biggest delivery business in the U.S. with <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/11\/27\/amazon-delivers-more-packages-than-ups-fedex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5.9 billion packages delivered<\/a> last year alone.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon owes this massive success to the speed and reliability of its logistics network. More importantly, SWA boasts a price advantage over these two competitors, as sellers using SWA can take advantage of simple rates without any residential fees or weekend delivery charges. Combine this with the fact that Amazon regularly waives surcharges during peak season, and the service has become a go-to option for ecommerce sellers looking for fast and reliable shipping minus the high costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this being said, there are still some ways in which Amazon Shipping doesn\u2019t yet fully stack up to its competitors \u2013 namely, its limited delivery network and pickup restrictions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this post\u2019s publishing, pickups can be done only in 15 metropolitan areas, which puts many sellers at a disadvantage if they do not have warehouses within these areas. Moreover, Amazon Shipping still limits deliveries within the contiguous U.S. This means you won\u2019t be able to use the service to fulfil an order to a customer based in London or Hawaii, for example.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecommerce brands should weigh the pros and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/amazon-cons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cons<\/a> of different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/how-last-mile-delivery-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last-mile logistics<\/a> providers carefully, and decide for themselves which solution makes the most sense for their business.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"467\" width=\"700\" data-id=\"20162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=1280\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=2000 2000w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=160 160w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=400 400w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=700 700w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2025\/05\/853ed988a9542e94121c8c1479fc14ec.jpeg?w=240 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2022\/07\/USPS-vs-UPS-vs-Fedex.jpg?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2025\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2022\/07\/USPS-vs-UPS-vs-Fedex.jpg?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2022\/07\/USPS-vs-UPS-vs-Fedex.jpg?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2022\/07\/USPS-vs-UPS-vs-Fedex.jpg?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2022\/07\/USPS-vs-UPS-vs-Fedex.jpg?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2022\/07\/USPS-vs-UPS-vs-Fedex.jpg?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-amazon-orders-shipbob-can-fulfill-nbsp\">Types of Amazon orders ShipBob can fulfil&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon will ship your orders \u2013 but who fulfils them? The answer can be complicated. Merchants have several fulfilment options when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/common-mistakes-amazon-avoid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">selling on Amazon\u2019s platform<\/a> and others, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/seller-fulfilled-prime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Seller Fulfilled Prime<\/strong><\/a><strong> orders \u2013 <\/strong>Qualified sellers handle their own inventory storage and fulfilment for Amazon orders, but are permitted to display the Amazon Prime badge on those orders.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Amazon Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) \u2013<\/strong> The seller handles inventory storage and fulfils Amazon orders themselves (either through their own facilities or leveraging a third-party logistics partner\u2019s services).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Amazon Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) \u2013 <\/strong>Amazon stores inventory on the seller\u2019s behalf and fulfils Amazon orders for them.

Brands can store their inventory in any of ShipBob\u2019s dozens of fulfilment centres across the continental US and have ShipBob\u2019s team of experts pick and pack Amazon orders on your behalf. However, ShipBob cannot at this time fulfil Seller Fulfilled Prime or Amazon FBA orders.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advantages-of-choosing-shipbob-for-amazon-fbm-nbsp\">Advantages of choosing ShipBob for Amazon FBM&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many sellers use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/amazon-fulfilled-by-merchant-fbm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon FBM<\/a> to avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/alternative-to-amazon-fba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon\u2019s strict FBA requirements<\/a> and keep costs low.
