Amazon.com Inc. (Seattle) has announced its new services called Amazon Local Selling which will offer in-store pick-up and local delivery for businesses, according to a company press release.

Third-party sellers that use Amazon will be able to list their products in Amazon’s store for customers in a designated/local area for in-store pick-up or local delivery. Sellers can also provide regional offers or discounts across product categories, or even opt to sell larger or fragile items that are too bulky to ship. Add-on services like assembly or installation can be included.

Local selling is currently being offered to national retailers, as well as small- and medium-sized businesses. This announcement comes ahead of the holiday season to help ease the influx of delivery that will be needed.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
