FULFIL
Amazon fulfillment UK - Getting shoppers their stuff
When an Amazon customer buys your product, either we can ship the order for you with Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) or you can ship it yourself. Many Amazon selling partners use a mix of Amazon fulfilment and shipping their own orders.

How Fulfilment by Amazon works
When you sign up to sell on Amazon, you’re automatically enrolled in FBA for free. If you decide to go that route, you’ll send inventory to Amazon fulfilment centers, and we’ll handle shipping, customer service, refunds, and returns for those products. You can track your FBA inventory in Seller Central.

Amazon's drop shipping policy
Drop-shipping is when you enlist a third-party to fulfil orders on your behalf. Amazon has very specific policies around this practice. If it’s a method you intend to use, make sure to follow these requirements to avoid losing your selling privileges.
