Amazon Donation Background

Introduction to Amazon Donation Program

Starting from September 1, if sellers have unsuccessful or unwanted goods in Amazon warehouses in the UK and the US and want to dispose of these goods, the goods will be included in the FBA Donations project by default. Of course, if sellers do not want to hand over the processed goods to FBA Donations, they can also choose to withdraw.

The collected goods will be distributed to US non-profits through Good360, or given to UK charities.
