Amazon opens logistics network to all businesses - Supply Chain Dive
Executive Summary

Amazon opened its fulfillment and logistics network to all businesses, not just Amazon sellers, as of May 2026. This allows any company to use Amazon's warehouses, shipping, and delivery services for their own sales channels.

Our Take

This creates new competition for third-party logistics providers but gives Amazon sellers leverage to negotiate better FBA rates by threatening to move volume elsewhere. Monitor your FBA storage and fulfillment fees closely -- Amazon may need to stay competitive with their own external pricing.

What This Means

Amazon is monetizing its logistics infrastructure beyond marketplace sales, potentially creating internal pricing pressure that could benefit existing FBA users while expanding Amazon's reach into all ecommerce fulfillment.

Key Takeaways

Compare your current FBA fees against Amazon's new external logistics pricing when it's published -- use this data in fee negotiations.

Evaluate using Amazon logistics for your DTC or other marketplace channels to consolidate inventory and reduce complexity.

Bottom Line

Amazon's logistics opening creates FBA fee negotiation leverage for sellers.
