Remote Fulfillment With FBA

Remote fulfillment with FBA allows sellers to sell products in Canada and Mexico by fulfilling the orders with inventory that is placed in Amazon’s US fulfillment centers. Offers are created in the Amazon Canada and Amazon Mexico marketplaces, and Amazon uses the US based inventory to fulfill orders. Amazon Canada and Amazon Mexico prime customers receive free shipping for these orders. Remote Fulfillment with FBA is also sometimes referred to as North America Remote Fulfillment (NARF). The only difference is that NARF is specifically referring to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, where Remote Fulfillment with FBA will be for the global expansion as Amazon rolls out the program throughout other regions.
