Amazon is laying off about 30 employees in its Buy with Prime unit, CNBC has learned, as it continues to look for ways to trim costs. The cuts affect fewer than 5% of staff in the Buy with Prime division, Amazon said. Buy with Prime is a service that lets online stores offer the same two-day shipping benefits available to Prime subscribers. Amazon said it's assisting Buy with Prime employees who were laid off in finding new roles elsewhere within the company.

Buy With Prime, which launched in 2022, gives retailers who are not Amazon merchants fulfillment and delivery through its logistics network. Its newest features aim to pull in fee revenue from shops outside of Amazon.com during the peak holiday season. Along with speedy deliveries, Prime shoppers can now return items purchased through Buy With Prime outside of Amazon.com without shipping labels and boxes. Amazon also announced that Prime customers who buy from Buy With Prime merchants can now see their order history on their apps and have 24-hour access to customer service representatives. Amazon last week launched a Shopify app for Buy With Prime, giving the Canadian e-commerce giant's 2 million merchants access to Amazon's 175 million Prime members.

The couple hired Aidlin Darling Design, a San Francisco firm, to build what the architects would come to call the “House of Earth and Sky.” Joshua Aidlin and Peter Larsen, the principals on the project, had ample experience with LEED, an evolving national standard for green buildings. And the couple wanted, and received, no less than the highest of the four LEED certifications: platinum. Ms. Liu’s desire for a drought-resistant garden was another prominent theme.
Amazon said Tuesday it's expanding a service that lets merchants add the vaunted Prime badge to products on their own websites. The Buy with Prime program, first announced last April, allows Prime members to check out on other retailers' sites using their Amazon account and receive free, two-day delivery. The service launched as an invite-only program, but will become available to all U.S. sellers by Jan. 31, Amazon said. The e-retailer also announced a new add-on to the program that lets merchants show reviews and ratings from their Amazon listings on their sites. Amazon did not disclose how much it charges merchants to use Buy with Prime.
