Weekend service keeps speed promises. Amazon Buy Shipping keeps scans and tracking clean. A good 3PL lowers cost with carrier volume.

 

Why weekends matter

SFP expects pickup and delivery on weekends. You also ship Prime orders every week of the trial. Miss it and risk the badge. Your carriers must hit one to two-day speeds. UPS, FedEx, or USPS priority services are common fits.

 

How Amazon Buy Shipping helps

Use Amazon Buy Shipping for labels. It sends ship and delivery scans to customers for you. That supports tracking targets. It also helps with A to Z Guarantee issues. SFP also requires valid tracking on almost all orders. Use carriers integrated with Amazon to hit it.

 

Carrier setup that protects your KPIs

Enable Saturday and Sunday pickups where possible. Ship six days. Deliver six days. Keep scans flowing through Buy Shipping. Monitor tracking and on time daily. Fix exceptions fast. Use Amazon integrated carriers.

 

Where a 3PL cuts cost

Two-day from one site gets pricey fast. A 3PL brings locations and better carrier contracts. Volume discounts lower your average rate. Capacity favors large shippers during peak. Many partners also support seven day delivery. They manage Amazon Buy Shipping and returns in one flow.
