Amazon SEND Program Explained: How Partnered Carriers Like Linktrans Save You Money on FBA Inbound
August 22, 2026
If you're an Amazon FBA seller shipping from China and you haven't explored the Amazon SEND program, you're likely overpaying for inbound shipping. SEND (Seller Export and Delivery) is Amazon's partnered carrier program that gives sellers access to negotiated shipping rates and reduced or waived inbound placement fees.
Linktrans is one of the select carriers approved for Amazon SEND on the China-to-U.S. lane.
