Event details and AiDeliv presence in Seattle

AiDeliv sponsors Partner Connect at Amazon Accelerate 2026, running September 22–24.

Amazon curates Partner Connect vendors for logistics, fulfillment, and seller services.

Attendees can schedule lane tests and view auction playback during show hours.

How the live auction demonstrates landed cost and resilience

The auction model surfaces delivered duty paid prices and carrier performance simultaneously.

Sellers receive anonymous bids so price moves reflect service economics, not relationships.

This format supports supply chain resilience by expanding participating carriers and reducing single-supplier exposure.

For importers, auctions also reveal hidden charges that inflate landed cost calculations.

How the auction works: mechanics and carrier scoring

A seller lists one shipment and pre-vetted carriers bid in reverse auction format.

Bids must improve on the previous offer, and carriers remain anonymous while bidding runs.

Each completed auction records stage-by-stage carrier performance for ongoing scorecards.

1. Post shipment: Seller uploads lane details and required documentation. The platform validates routing and paperwork against DDP rules.

2. Bidding window: Carriers submit consecutive improving offers over hours. Median time to first bid is three to four hours.

3. Award and execution: Seller accepts the all-in DDP price and contracts one carrier. Carrier handles duties, taxes, and customs clearance.

DDP specifics and Amazon FBA routing considerations

Delivered Duty Paid includes duties, taxes, and customs clearance in the price offered.

If you ship to Amazon, DDP routing and labeling differ from standard imports.

Follow Amazon FBA routing rules to avoid inbound chargebacks and rejection at FCs.

What sellers can test at booth 288

Bring an active lane such as Shenzhen to New Jersey or Ningbo to Texas.

AiDeliv posts the lane to a live auction and captures real market bids against it.

There is no obligation to sign or pay at the booth, and results are real-world data.

Use this test to compare landed cost, transit time, and carrier score outcomes.

To estimate pricing in advance, use the shipping cost calculator for lane modeling.
