Helping grocery suppliers grow

We’re committed to building strong and sustainable relationships with our grocery suppliers, and we’re proud of the opportunities we offer suppliers of all sizes to grow and reach more customers in the UK and overseas.

In partnership with our suppliers, we offer a vast selection of grocery products, with fast and convenient deliveries, for Amazon customers around the UK. Many of our suppliers' businesses have grown significantly by working with us, and we are committed to creating more opportunities for suppliers and making it easier for them to work with us.

The importance of our suppliers to us is why we have been listening closely over the past year to what they have to say and making changes to the way we work together. We invite suppliers into our Fulfilment Centres to see first-hand how our business operates and how we can work better together, and we hold one-to-one sessions where senior Amazon leaders hear directly from suppliers.

Listening and engaging with you - our suppliers - is the driving force behind the changes we’re making. We know there is more to do, and that’s we’re running a series of webinars to help you get the best out of working with Amazon.

You can watch a recorded version of this webinar about how to use the new dashboard, which was developed following input from suppliers. It will cover how supplier can get early visibility of shortages and dispute them more easily, avoid deductions from occurring, and use Proof of Delivery for investigations. Please note, you require Vendor Central access to view the webinar.

Here are three ways we’re delivering a better experience for our grocery suppliers:
  • We’re increasing transparency to give more visibility
    Suppliers now have access to new tools offering information about their deliveries which alert them to potential issues much earlier and can enable quicker resolutions.
  • We’re improving processes to ensure greater certainty
    We’ve introduced 30-day timeframes for suppliers to dispute specific issues, clearer explanations on key decisions and we’re improving how we receive products from suppliers.
  • We’re strengthening our supplier support
    We have introduced designated account manager support for grocery suppliers and added live phone support for fast and effective assistance on wide range of issues.
