Recommendation Freight forwarder
Hi!
Which freight forwarder is better to work with in terms of cost and delivery timeframe—Amazon Partnered Carrier or a non-partnered one?
Does anyone ship with UPS-non partener from China to the USA?

Hello @Seller_91izZmS3K3lXD
Christine here from Amazon Forums.
Let me help you with your concern.
Amazon Partnered Carrier:
Pros:
- Direct integration with Amazon systems
- Simplified process
- Often more reliable tracking
- Clear communication channels
- Amazon's support if issues arise
- Generally easier for new sellers
Cons:
- Less flexibility
- May have longer transit times
Non-Partnered Carrier (including UPS):
Pros:
- Often more cost-effective
- More flexibility in service options
- Ability to negotiate rates
- Can build direct relationships
- Might offer faster routes
- More control over shipping process
Cons:
- More complex documentation required
- Need to manage communication yourself
- Must ensure compliance with Amazon requirements
- Higher risk if something goes wrong
- More responsibility for problem resolution
Also, I would like to invite other seller to participate and share based on your experience.
Hope you all have a great day!
Christine.
