Amazon Shipping Delivery Time

Amazon Shipping is a ground shipping service that is available for Amazon selling partners. It allows sellers to ship their products not only on Amazon but also from their own website and other selling channels. This service provides reliable delivery within two to five business days, including weekends.

How Amazon Shipping Works

To use Amazon Shipping, sellers need to sell their products through various channels, purchase labels, and schedule a pick-up from their warehouses. They can then track the packages from their warehouses to their customers' doors, ensuring on-time delivery, seven days a week. The shipping rates are simple, with no residential fees or weekend delivery charges.

Amazon Shipping is committed to providing hassle-free claims and dedicated support to its shippers. They have a 24/7 warehouse-to-door tracking system, photo-on-delivery, and stop-by-stop tracking, ensuring that the sellers are always in control of their shipments.

Amazon Shipping Tracking Number Format

The Amazon tracking number format consists of three parts: a three-digit carrier code (represented by "123"), followed by a dash ("-"), then a seven-digit order identifier (represented by "-1234567"), and finally another dash followed by a seven-digit package identifier (represented by "0000000").
