Amazon Warehousing Distribution, or AWD for short, was launched to solve the problem of difficult replenishment for sellers on Amazon’s U.S. site by providing sellers with a pay-as-you-go warehousing solution.
Amazon Warehousing Distribution can help sellers send and store their inventory to the AWD (near the FBA warehouse) through third-party cross-border logistics and Amazon cross-border logistics service (AGL), and carry out timely and automatic replenishment according to the inventory of the FBA warehouse. Help your FBA warehouse not to be constantly stocked, and not limited by the warehouse capacity!

Amazon Warehousing Distribution can automatically replenish inventory to FBA warehouses, sellers no longer need to worry about lack of space in FBA warehouses resulting in returns, and as long as the AWD Distribution Center has inventory available for auto-replenishment, the seller’s ASIN will be in stock on Amazon.
Amazon Warehousing Distribution provides global inventory monitoring!
AWD provides a robust delivery network for sellers’ orders by integrating offline logistics warehousing with online logistics systems, allowing sellers to monitor their inventory and view the progress of shipments at any time.
