Amazon ShopLocal is an invitation-only program that allows sellers to ship eligible products within their sub-region or province, instead of nationwide, which is required for all other products. Sellers participating in this program can choose to ship products only within their province (for example, British Columbia), and sub-regions (for example, Vancouver Metro). Customizing regions outside of those defined in a seller’s Shipping Settings is not available.
The ShopLocal program is currently extending a limited number of invitations to select sellers. If you are interested in the program, send your request to ca-seller-local-only@amazon.com. .
Only certain products are eligible for Seller-Fulfilled Local-Only. Eligible products include:
Any product in the Grocery category.
Selection that is restricted from being sold to a certain region can possibly qualify for Amazon ShopLocal. Examples include:
To ensure that your selection is accurately enrolled in Amazon’s ShopLocal program, please include weight and dimension information in all of your ASINs during onboarding. As the seller of record on Amazon, you are solely responsible for controlling shipment of your products, including those items with regional distribution restrictions and you must ensure that you select the right regions when creating your shipping settings. Failure to abide by applicable regulations will result in your expulsion from the ShopLocal program
Furthermore, if you include selection in Amazon ShopLocal that does not qualify through any of the categories outlined above, we will ask you to remove the selection from your regional template or, if applicable, update weight and dimension information. If you fail to do so after two notices, we will reassign the selection to a Standard Nationwide template. We will also remove your eligibility to participate in the ShopLocal program. If your eligibility is removed, you can appeal the decision by submitting a plan of action to ca-seller-local-only@amazon.com . Describe how, if you became eligible again, you would ensure that your selection in ShopLocal would not violate program requirements again.
Customers located outside deliverable regions will see an undeliverable message on the Detail Page of Amazon ShopLocal offers. If, while shopping, a customer changes their address to a deliverable region, the undeliverable message will disappear.
To remain eligible to participate in the program, your account must also remain in good standing. Existing performance metrics apply.
