|

Amazon spreads inventory around the country to enable it to shave hours off delivery time and to hedge against local natural disasters, and it is now applying this approach to third-party sellers who use its FBA fulfillment service. The strategy could increase shipping costs for those sellers who are affected, but Amazon said it will make sellers' items available for last-minute orders, "which is especially critical for holiday shoppers."
Beginning next month, Amazon will begin requiring some sellers to split inventory between multiple warehouses. In a letter to sellers, Amazon said it recognized that the change could affect their transportation processes and costs and said it has tried to minimize the impact on sellers.
