Amazon Direct Fulfillment Canada

Amazon Direct Fulfillment is a retail dropshipping program for Amazon vendors. The main difference between Direct Fulfillment and Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) is that you’ll be managing your own supply chain, including warehousing, fulfillment and shipping.

This means that if you’re new to Amazon, you can sell domestically in Canada, or if you’re already selling on Amazon in another country, you can expand your sales to Canada. With more than 69% of the population buying online in 2024 and an average annual spend of $2,610 per customer, there’s plenty of opportunities to sell your products to the Canadian market.

If you choose this option, Amazon will purchase your products wholesale and will take care of marketing them to Amazon shoppers. They’ll be listed online as products “Sold by Amazon.” You’ll store them yourself and be responsible for managing your inventory.

When a customer makes an order, you’ll ship each individual order directly to the customer, rather than sending them in bulk to an Amazon warehouse. Amazon will cover your shipping costs and you’ll be responsible for fulfillment labor costs and packing materials.

When it comes to getting started with Amazon Direct Fulfillment, there’s minimal startup investment needed and relatively quick onboarding.
