Truck on a highway

New smart carrier options offer sellers greater choice and flexibility when sending inventory to the Amazon network.

Sellers who use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) now have access to smart carrier options when sending inventory to the Amazon network.

Available through the Amazon Partner Carrier Program, these options allow sellers to choose their preferred partner carrier and method of transport from a dynamic list that includes capacity-aware freight-ready dates and cost estimates to better optimize their business.

You’ll find these new features in Step 4 of both the Send to Amazon workflow and the Send to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution workflow. They appear when you send inventory using Amazon Partner Carrier less-than-truckload (LTL) or full-truckload (FTL) methods of transport.
