Starting April 9, 2026, you can store your inventory in bulk at a lower cost in our new Global Warehousing & Distribution (GWD) facility in Shenzhen, China, and seamlessly replenish to our US fulfillment network when needed.

By using GWD in Shenzhen, you can:

• Reduce storage costs by up to 45% compared to US Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD).
• Get inventory to US fulfillment centers up to seven days faster when paired with Amazon Global Logistics (AGL).
• Maintain consistently healthy inventory levels through reliable, automated cross-border replenishment.
• Choose your management style of either AI-powered automated replenishment or manual control while we handle the entire cross-border logistics process.
• Streamline your supply chain of shipping, customs clearance, and delivery to our fulfillment centers all through a single, integrated solution.

GWD is the first step in our Next Generation of Global Selling vision — where you list once, bring your inventory to the warehouse at origin, and sell it globally from day one. This vision transforms cross-border commerce: you focus on building your global brand while Amazon handles the operational complexity of reaching customers worldwide.

To get started with GWD today:

1. In Seller Central, navigate to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution and select Create Shipment to create your delivery request to our Shenzhen distribution center.
2. Follow the prompts, including onboarding to AGL if you haven't used AGL services previously. For more details, visit Amazon Global Logistics.
