Amazon enables sellers to donate unsold items to charity

Online retail giant Amazon is launching Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Donations, a new programme where eligible excess and returned products from sellers using FBA will be made available to charitable organisations

Amazon will start donating products from sellers starting this September in the US and UK, providing helpful items to people in need. Amazon works with charity partners and manages logistics to streamline the donation process for independent sellers.

In the UK, Amazon is working with charities including Newlife, the Salvation Army and Barnardo’s.

“We know getting products into the hands of those who need them transforms lives and strengthens local communities,” said Alice Shobe, Director, Amazon in the Community. “We are delighted to extend this program to sellers who use our fulfillment services.”
