You Might See Prime as a Shipping Option on Sites Other Than Amazon. How It Works
Some independent stores are now offering Prime delivery without you having to log in to your Amazon account.
The company Amazon has expanded its Amazon Supply Chain Services to offer Prime shipping options on websites of independent retailers, not just Amazon.com. This means you could soon see the Prime shipping option on sites other than Amazon.
When shopping on one of the thousands of independent online stores, you may select items to purchase, proceed to checkout and discover Prime as a shipping option. Choosing this option could result in fast and free delivery if you have a Prime membership.
This isn't a brand new concept — independent stores have offered Prime shipping before. The change is that you won't have to click on a "Buy with Prime" widget and log into your Prime account. You can complete checkout on the store's website.
After placing the order, Amazon will verify your Prime membership. Amazon has over 240 million subscribers worldwide, with 180 million of them in the United States.
