Amazon Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a mission driven business, combining Amazon\'s fulfillment scale and world-leading technology to enable sellers to grow and thrive on Amazon\'s Marketplaces. When sellers use Fulfillment By Amazon or Seller Fulfilled Prime, they also add Amazon\'s Prime shipping speeds and customer trust to this reach and scale. As Jeff Bezos\' put it, AGFS \"is so important because it is the glue that inextricably links Marketplace and Prime...\" FBA technology enables sellers to send billions of items of their inventory into our fulfillment centers for the world\'s most anticipated shopping days, including Prime Day and the busiest shopping day of the year (the Friday after Thanksgiving). Having enough inventory in stock and a plan for promoting products for these events is a win-win, delighting customers and growing sellers\' businesses. Even at this size and complexity, we operate as a startup within Amazon, providing great flexibility in product and technology direction. Our systems are designed to scale, with high reliability, and we are always finding new ways to delight customers and sellers, including adapting to evolving seller business models, driving out logistics costs, and enabling sellers to only pay for the services they need - from labels, to transportation, to storage - giving sellers the choice and flexibility to run their business their way - and all while benefiting from Amazon\'s world-class infrastructure. Elsewhere, we are using machine learning to help us identify potentially time wasting or costly defects in supply chains and inventory management, getting items available for sale as efficiently and quickly as possible while reducing returns.
