It&amp;#x27;s a bitch to qualify for, so. Because the same performance thresholds apply for those third parties as they do for Amazon&amp;#x27;s own FCs and 3PLs, and those are &lt;i&gt;strict&lt;/i&gt;.</text><parent_chain><item><author>belval</author><text>I get that emotions are high when we discuss Amazon, but the article seems to imply that they were fined for not adding the &amp;quot;Prime&amp;quot; badge to items that were not fulfilled by Amazon (i.e. that didn&amp;#x27;t use Amazon warehouses).&lt;p&gt;Frankly I don&amp;#x27;t see why that&amp;#x27;s a problem, the Prime badge is for one-day or two day shipping item.
