Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a commonly used shipping method. Understanding the process is essential.

FBA Shipping Process

  1. Create Shipping Plan: Create plan in Amazon backend, select destination warehouse, shipping address and products
  2. Print Labels: System generates FNSKU and box labels, print as required
  3. Prepare Goods: Label and pack according to Amazon inbound requirements
  4. Choose Shipping Method: Self-ship or use Amazon partnered carrier
  5. Track Shipment: Monitor status in backend, handle exceptions promptly

Label Requirements

  • FNSKU Label: Each product must have clear FNSKU label
  • Box Label: Each box needs Amazon-generated label on exterior
  • Warning Labels: Fragile, heavy items need appropriate warning labels
  • Label Position: On flat surface, not covering product info

Packaging Requirements

Amazon has strict packaging requirements:

  • Single item max 50 lbs (22.7kg)
  • Box max 63cm on any side
  • Sturdy boxes able to withstand shipping
  • No damaged or odorous packaging
  • Transparent packaging needs "Do not open" label

Common Issues Resolution

  1. Wrong labels: Re-label or contact Amazon
  2. Oversized products: Use special inbound channel
  3. Delayed inbound: Check shipping info and appointment
  4. Lost cargo: Submit investigation request
