Help - Which carrier works with the Amazon marketplace?

The Amazon marketplace is currently the most influential online sales platform in the world.

Millions of orders are shipped every day, and the logistics behind them are essential to customer satisfaction.

With Easy Connect, Amazon sellers benefit from a simplified integration between their inventory, orders, and shipments, while offering a smooth experience to their customers.

1. Who are Amazon’s partner carriers?

To ensure efficient product delivery, Amazon collaborates with a vast network of carriers. These partners handle pickup, transport, and final delivery, depending on the type of service chosen by the seller or the customer.

The main partner carriers for Amazon are:

• Colis Privé – Amazon France’s long-term partner for home and pickup-point deliveries.

• La Poste / Colissimo – for standard and tracked shipments.

• Chronopost and DHL – for express and international deliveries.

• UPS – for handling large or professional shipments.

Each carrier is selected according to the product type (fragile, heavy, urgent), the destination, and the preferred delivery method.

2. How does the “Fulfilled by Amazon” (FBA) service work?

The Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) service is a key solution for sellers who want to outsource their entire logistics process to Amazon.

Here’s how it works:

1. The seller ships their products to an Amazon fulfillment center.

2. Amazon stores the inventory in its warehouses.

3. When a customer places an order, Amazon handles picking, packing, shipping, and delivery.

4. Amazon’s customer service manages returns and refunds if necessary.

This system saves sellers a lot of time, allowing them to focus on sales and product management while Amazon handles the entire logistics chain.

Main advantages of FBA:

• Fast delivery (often within 24 hours with Amazon Prime).

• Full management of inventory and returns.

• Increased visibility on the marketplace (FBA products are prioritized in search results).

However, this service comes with costs (storage, handling, and shipping fees). For sellers who prefer to keep control of their logistics, alternative solutions like Easy Connect are available.

3. What delivery options are available on Amazon?

Amazon customers can choose from a wide range of delivery options to receive their products:

• Standard delivery – the most economical option, ideal for non-urgent orders.

• Express delivery – 24–48 hour delivery for items shipped by Amazon or premium sellers.

• Amazon Prime delivery – exclusive to Prime members, offering fast and free delivery on millions of items.

• Pickup point or Amazon Locker delivery – convenient for customers who are not home, with 24/7 pickup availability.

• Large-item delivery – managed by specialized carriers, often with scheduled appointments.

4. Which carriers do third-party Amazon sellers use?

Not all Amazon sellers use the FBA service — many manage their own shipping directly from their own stock.

In that case, they must choose a reliable carrier capable of meeting Amazon’s delivery standards and timelines.

Third-party sellers are free to work with the carrier of their choice, such as:

• Colis Privé – for cost-effective home and pickup-point deliveries.

• La Poste / Colissimo – for national coverage and integrated tracking.

• Chronopost, UPS, or DHL – for express and international shipments.

The seller directly manages:

• Order shipping from their own inventory,

• The delivery method,

• Parcel tracking,

• And customer service in case of issues.

This is where Easy Connect becomes a real performance booster:

• Direct connection to Amazon Seller Central,

• Full automation of shipping and labels,

• Real-time parcel tracking,

• Optimized delivery times and reduced costs.
