The e-commerce landscape is shifting once again. Amazon has announced that its Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) service will end in 2026. For thousands of UK sellers who rely on FBA for storage, picking, packing, and delivery, this is a major change, and many are now asking, What is next?
What Does the End of FBA Mean for UK Sellers?
Amazon FBA has been the backbone of many UK eCommerce businesses, offering sellers a way to scale quickly without managing fulfilment in-house. With its closure, sellers will face several challenges:
- Loss of Amazon Warehousing & Fulfilment – Sellers will need to find alternative storage and shipping solutions.
- Increased Operational Pressure – Businesses will have to handle order management, returns, and customer service themselves.
- Impact on Prime Eligibility – Without FBA, many sellers could lose their Amazon Prime badge, reducing visibility and conversions.
- Uncertainty & Transition Costs – Switching from FBA means adapting to new systems, processes, and partners — often under tight margins.
Why Now is the Time to Act?
2026 might feel far away, but for UK businesses, the transition needs planning today. Fulfilment is at the heart of the customer experience. Any delay, missed order, or poor delivery impacts your brand reputation instantly. The sooner sellers move to a reliable logistics partner, the smoother their operations will be when FBA officially shuts down.
