What is prime shipping?

Prime shipping refers to a premium delivery option offered by marketplaces like Amazon, providing customers with ultra-fast delivery – typically within one or two days – as part of a subscription service.

Prime shipping in eCommerce

In eCommerce, prime shipping has set a new standard for delivery speed and customer expectations. While originally tied to Amazon Prime, the concept now inspires many D2C brands to offer similar fast and reliable delivery services. With everstox, businesses can replicate prime-like shipping experiences by accessing a network of strategically located warehouses and real-time carrier integration across Europe, the UK, and the US. Or they can directly ship via Amazon using the everstox FBA integration.

Example of prime shipping

A customer places an order through a brand’s online shop with 1–2 day delivery promised. The order is automatically routed to the nearest warehouse and shipped via express carrier – powered by everstox.
