Amazon FBA Shipment Creation
Amazon FBA shipment creation
When you sell with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), you send your inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers. Mistakes at this stage, such as wrong labels or quantities, can delay check-in, block sales and trigger fees.
AMZgetway creates and manages your inbound shipments so stock arrives correctly and sales are not held up.
What is FBA shipment creation?
Shipment creation is the process of telling Amazon what you plan to send, and how. You tell Amazon the products, quantities and packaging, and Amazon assigns destination fulfillment centers and generates the labels you need.
Preparing products for shipment
Before a shipment is created, each unit needs the right barcode (FNSKU or the manufacturer barcode, if eligible) and suitable packaging. Some categories need special prep, such as bagging or labeling.
Creating a shipment plan
In Seller Central, you choose the products to send, the quantities and how they are packed. Amazon then splits the plan into one or more shipments and tells you where each should go.
Shipping labels
Amazon creates labels for each unit and each box. Boxes must carry the right label or Amazon may not accept them. We check that labels are accurate, legible and attached correctly.
Tracking your shipment
Once the shipment is on its way, you can add tracking details in Seller Central and follow check-in progress. We monitor each shipment until it is received.
FBA Inventory Placement Service
Normally Amazon may split your shipment across several fulfillment centers. The Inventory Placement Service lets you send to one location for a fee per unit. We help you decide whether it is worth it for each product.
