Amazon Global Shipping PowerHouse

 ✈️🚢 Amazon is now more than a marketplace — it’s becoming a global shipping powerhouse.

Amazon recently opened up its Amazon Air cargo network to third-party businesses — and while that’s making headlines, there’s more under the hood.

📦 For international sellers, Amazon already offers ocean freight services through Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) — a direct sea shipping option from manufacturers (especially in China) straight to Amazon FBA.

Yes, the rates for both air and sea may be higher than your local freight forwarder, but here’s why this shift is actually an opportunity:

🔹 Air Freight (Amazon Air - 3rd Party Access)

✅ Faster delivery windows

✅ High reliability and integrated tracking

✅ Useful for high-value or time-sensitive SKUs

❗ Higher cost — but premium speed

🔹 Sea Freight (Amazon Global Logistics - AGL)

✅ Fully integrated in Seller Central

✅ Port-to-door + customs clearance included

✅ Works well for bulk shipments to FBA

❗ Requires planning for 35–60 day lead times

💡 My take?

Amazon isn’t just moving packages anymore — it’s moving into full-stack global logistics. And while their services may cost more, they offer:

    Greater visibility

    Operational simplicity

    Seamless FBA connection

    Leverage in freight negotiations

Whether you use these services or not, just having access changes the game.

📊 Pro tip: Use Amazon’s shipping quotes as a benchmark when negotiating with your own freight forwarders.
