Executive Summary

Amazon Supply Chain Services opened its logistics network to all businesses, not just Amazon sellers, as of May 4, 2026. This allows any company to use Amazon's warehousing, fulfillment, and shipping infrastructure.

Our Take

Amazon is directly competing with 3PLs and traditional logistics providers, potentially offering better rates and service levels that could benefit multi-channel sellers. Sellers should compare Amazon's pricing against current 3PL costs for non-Amazon inventory storage and fulfillment.

What This Means

Amazon is expanding beyond marketplace services into direct competition with traditional logistics providers, potentially centralizing more of the ecommerce supply chain under its control.

Key Takeaways

Compare your current 3PL rates against Amazon Supply Chain Services pricing for Shopify, Walmart, and other channel fulfillment.

Evaluate consolidating all inventory with Amazon to reduce complexity and potentially lower per-unit logistics costs across channels.

Bottom Line

Amazon opens logistics to all businesses, creating new 3PL competition.
