No, Amazon is not a dropshipper. Amazon is an online retailer that sells a wide variety of products, including books, electronics, clothing, and more. Unlike a dropshipper, Amazon holds its own inventory and handles the storage, fulfillment, and shipping of products to customers.
However, Amazon does offer a service called Amazon Fulfillment that allows third-party sellers to store their products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers and have Amazon handle the fulfillment and shipping process. This service is similar to dropshipping in that the seller does not have to handle the physical inventory, but it is not the same as traditional dropshipping. In traditional dropshipping, the seller does not own the inventory and does not store it in a warehouse. Instead, the seller acts as a middleman between the customer and the supplier, with the supplier storing and shipping the product directly to the customer.
