Amazon is once again allowing sellers to use FedEx's ground delivery. During the holiday season, the e-commerce giant temporarily halted access the service, saying that FedEx's delivery times were poor. The company instead encouraging sellers to use Amazon's own delivery service.

According to CNBC, FedEx's Ground and Home services resumed on Tuesday. A spokesperson for FedEx said that the company has been consistently meeting Amazon's on-time delivery requirements, so it was reinstated the shipping option for Prime orders.
