Freight Provider Services With Amazon
Amazon Freight offers transport logistics solutions to retail businesses of various sizes looking to ship freight via road transport. Our middle-mile technology driven network of 6,500+ owned trailers and 13,000+ partners connects shippers across the UK and EU with approved Amazon Freight carriers. We let them move cargo at a range of delivery speeds to meet their customer needs.

Our FTL (full truckload) services and LTL (less-than-truckload)* services let our partners navigate their logistics needs. Whether you are off-Amazon using or FBA for your cargo delivery, we offer full visibility and transparency throughout the journey. Once you book with us, Get fully visible shipments, simple quoting and 24/7 support and monitoring from our customer service team.
Our coverage
We ship LTL and FTL cargo using 13.6m box trailers, and use curtain-sided trailers (FTL only). With the exception of the Scottish Highlands, our extensive coverage includes the entire UK. In the EU, we ship FTL between Germany (except North Sea and Baltic Sea islands), Poland, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

FTL services are available for goods shipped to any destination — including those not owned/operated by Amazon. LTL services are exclusively available for goods shipped to Amazon Fulfilment Centres (FCs).
Why partner with Amazon Freight?
Competitive spot and contract rates
Our all-in rates are transparent through booking, whether you need to move a single load quickly or want contract rates on your most-used lanes. Visit our freight pricing guide to learn more about how freight costs are calculated.

Scale
We let customers tap into a vast vehicle network of Amazon Freight carriers through Amazon Transport Services (ATP) and Amazon Relay, all with the same level of visibility. We leverage advanced technology to deliver on our promise that we will cover 100% of loads booked.

Fulfilment
Similar to when using Prime, as soon as you press “buy”, we take care of everything. We exchange PO/FBA information to secure you an FC delivery slot, matching you with the right trailer and keeping you updated throughout the cargo journey.

No chargebacks
Most carriers typically treat losses incurred on the road ‘consequential’ under CMR rules. When you ship with Amazon Freight, if a chargeback is incurred during delivery that we deem was within our control, we will reimburse you.

Transparency
Our spot tool is instant and includes all surcharges (fuel, booking in, currency). Unlike most large logistics firms, all pricing is fully transparent from the moment you sign up, with no hidden fees.
