You Might See Prime as a Shipping Option on Sites Other Than Amazon. How It Works

Free and fast delivery could be an option where you least expect it. More independent stores might be offering Amazon Prime shipping on their websites, and you won’t need to log into your Amazon account to get it.

The announcement this week is an expansion of the company’s Amazon Supply Chain Services, in which merchants pay the company to house their inventory and pick, pack and ship items to customers. Sellers will not have to pay extra to use Prime shipping as an option for customers and can keep their usual payment processing, order management and store policies.

So, imagine you’re shopping for items at one of the thousands of independent, non-Amazon.com stores on the internet. You select some things to buy, head to checkout and see Prime as one of the shipping options. That could mean fast and free, if you have a Prime account.
