Seller fulfilled prime from Belgium not possible?
Because Belgium does not exist as a source marketplace on Amazon I had to choose another country.
I chose UK as my source marketplace because my english is better than my french or german.
DE,IT,FR and SE are my target markets.
The 1st problem I have is “ BUY shipping “ It never works
For example , I have an order on the UK market place. It seems like amazon is searching for UK carriers but because I’m from BE I never see any carriers available. Although all major couriers DHL, DPD … are available in Belgium and I selected DPD as my preferred shipping carrier in the buy shipping preferences. As result I have to go the courier website, and request for a shipment manually and this takes a lot of time to manually input all orders. And also I think you get better prices if you " buy shipping" through amazon ?
I have same problem with other markets. So because I’m from Belgium I will never be able to use ‘Buy Shipping ‘ in any of the markets ?
I was accepted for the seller fulfilled prime service but how can I sell if I cannot Buy shipping ??? One of the requirements for prime shippig is that you purchase shipping from one of the amazon partner carriers. So someone from Belgium can never be a prime seller ???
If I cannot sell with Seller Fulfilled Prime why would people buy from me if there are other sellers sell the same product with Prime . My products will be listed with transit time 7-9 days so people will never buy from me.
Is there any Prime seller from Belgium who can help me out ?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Unfortunately you are not eligible for Seller Fulfilled Prime as you do not have a wharehouse in that country. We are located in Spain and was offered this in UK and one more country, don’t remember which now. I spent hours trying to read about it, if it was something for us … I just happend to see a video where they said you have to have the wharehouse in the same country. I opened an angry case with Seller Support: why is this info not clearly stated on the first page of information and WHY ON EARTH were we offfered this as they can clearly see where all items are sent from?
Re the shipping, see if you can use Packlink in Belgium. We use it and it is great for us. I have not integrated it with Amazon yet, I suppose it would make it even easier if I did. One of these days … Ah, OK … Sorry it seems only to be FR, DE, IT and ES. Maybe there is something similar in Belgium?

UPS is reasonable within Western Europe with good on time target etc… otherwise try one of the shipping portal like parcelabc.com and see whether they can help you.
