Amazon will stop offering prep and labeling services for FBA by January 1, 2026.
This includes AWD, AGL, and the Supply Chain Portal, forcing sellers to prep and label themselves.
The policy shift affects new sellers most, especially those unfamiliar with third-party providers.

Amazon pulled back hard from Google Shopping Ads in a move that’s raising questions across ecommerce. Brands may see lower cost per click and new chances to take more share. Timing after Prime Day and platform control point to deeper ad budget shifts and testing in off-platform strategies.

Start taking advantage of low CPC before Amazon jumps back in. Book a call with us: https://bit.ly/4jMZtxu

Choosing between FBA and FBM depends on product size, shipping cost, and how fast it sells. Oversized or custom items often cost more when stored long-term and may not qualify for Prime. Sellers must weigh shipping fees, labor, and storage when deciding which method helps them keep more profit.
