FBM with Amazon Shipping. Versus RM Tracked 24?
Hi All,
We currently use RM Tracked 24 for all our sales and have a daily collection for sales via Amazon, Backmarket etc.Typically 20-30 small parcels a day. Small boxes with mobile phones inside.
We have been told iit might improve our shipping time metrics (customer offered delivery time) and cut the cost per item by about £2.00 if we moved to Amazon Shipping daily.
Looked around but can’t find much info on this. Any help on these questions would be appreciated.
- Is Amazon Shipping with FBM a thing? Would we get a daily collection late afternoon?
- Does Amazon Shipping require signature? We would need this.
- Does it help your advertised shipping metrics?
- Any experience on cost?
- Any experience on delivery reliability vs RM? We are generally very happy with RM reliability.
- How do you enable it with Amazon as a service?
- Presuming you then just add it to your label preferences for Buy Shipping?
- Is daily collection automatic?
- Is same day drop off somewhere an option fo later orders received?
- Can we also ship Backmarket, eBay and other parcels via this route. Will Amazon accept it? Will the other channel recognise the Amazon shipping tracking?
Sorry, didn’t realise I had THAT many questions but appreciate any insights from others in the same boat or those already sailing it.
Thank-you.
Dan.

amazon logistics is an invite only service
if they have invited you, they will give you contracted pricing depending on volume and weights
i used them and at the time (it may have changed) they did not collect signatures
they collected from us at a set time everyday and there was nowhere to drop off orders that came in after collection
all next day orders were delivered by themselves, standard 2-3 day LL were handed to RM for final delivery
there is the option to use AL for 3rd party orders ie eBay but i believe you need to use a specific API to integrate the orders
