New sellers who want to start selling on Amazon often hear the term “Amazon FBA.” FBA stands for Fulfillment by Amazon<\/a> and means that Amazon will store, pick, pack, and fulfill your orders for you – they will even handle customer service for orders fulfilled by Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When sellers use FBA to fulfill their orders, they will send their products to one of Amazon’s many fulfillment centers across the country (and the world).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we’ll explore what an Amazon fulfillment center is and how it works for your Amazon business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
