[@CamronJames]

Glad it helped

[@mesheahudson5209]

Camron you are a beast. I have watched other video and the person will go so fast or make it so hard to follow by using so many technical words. You explained it in such an easy way. Thanks

[@steveflatbush]

Great work at helping us figure out how to do shipping. I started and had to cancel a shipment because the manufacturer doesn't use pallets. Thanks!

[@grahamhodder985]

I just looked up on KZbin ' Shipping plan amazon FBA Cameron James'' and this video was uploaded an hour ago...so awesome, thanks Camron

[@michaeldiez5264]

As always, thank you for the very detailed information you provide in your channel, Camron!

[@BlackSheepEvents]

Thanks It’s been a while since I sent in a box thanks for the refresher.

[@StephanieJacques-x1m]

your videos are SO helpful thank you - what do I do when my SKU is in more than 1 box but each box has a different number of units and so a different weight too?

[@onlythebex]

Woo that last sentence at the end just saved me from sending LTL shipment as SPD, you are the best Camron, thank you!

[@CamronJames]

Happy to help!

[@yvonnetran429]

HI Camron, thanks for all the info in the video. I have one question that you didn't mention. I plan to ship garments of different sizes in a box. How do you enter in the shipping plan? For example, I have 100 units of size M and 150 unit of size L in a master carton box. Do I go to my listing for Size M and enter # of box - 1, and # of unit-100, then go to Size L to enter # box - 1, and # of unit - 150?

[@ladyVictoria.E.L]

Thank you so much 😊 I watched your video and learned how to list my catalogue on Amazon. Now I’m I watching this video and I followed your instruction and how to shipped to Amazon.

[@gonzalomontebelli6499]

Hi Camron ! Thanks for the great content about Amazon FBA; it’s been really helpful. I have a question: Could I face any issues if my supplier didn’t include the 'Made in China' label under the logo on my product (a plate) or on the inner box, but it’s placed on the outer box and listed as 'Made in China' on the Amazon listing? I’m also using Amazon Global Logistics for shipping, and my shipment is already in the middle of the ocean. I just want to make sure everything is in order to avoid any problems. I’d really appreciate your advice on this. Thanks!

[@123-DDP]

Don't worry about this, there will be no big problem, but in the future, it is best to ask the supplier to put this label on the packaging of the product and the outer box. I am a freight forwarder, we will come across this area often, so we know very well, by the way, if you need ship from China to FBA warehouse,i would love to caculate the shipping cost for you, maybe it is cheaper than your use. and it is convenient

[@chunpanchan1682]

Thanks for your tutorial.. One thing I would like to ask is at the edit dropdown list, I could not locate the "Print item label button", my listing is new and have no variation.

[@CreeCree-m1d]

Thank you Camron for the information! Can you change the pallet information?

[@jthompson6497]

great content Camron...question ...after SPD is selected and all info is entered and labels are printed, what is the next step in terms of contacting UPS for the boxes to be picked up from my local supplier? Thanks in advance.

[@monjurmorshed3731]

Its a great video with a lot of valuable information. But one thing sounds very confusing. Like when you said that we should print the labels and add the labels in the boxes by ourselves bcz each sticker cost 30 cents. But if we are ordering from China , how can we put the labels in the boxes ny ourselves?? Then eventually we need to send the labels to our manufacturers , right ???

[@875daily]

Cameron, do you create a new packing template for each product in "Send to Amazon" I have multiple ASINs going into one box. thanks

[@TheYohan1989]

Hi Camron! Very informative video. I just wanted to ask the process in which we are to dropship the product and we've listed it as FBM. What's the process? Do I send the labels to the suppliers? And do they get picked up by the Amazon partnered couriers? And what if our suppliers offer free shipping, what steps do we need to go through. Thank you so much.

[@heribertoelias5680]

Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us!! Very grateful!!

[@eldartaganov3284]

Should I put in the barcode with Asian number on the package Made in China? In one video one Bloger was saying it is mandatory, but I see my competitors don’t say I anything about where it’s coming from. So I believe it is mandatory.

[@rickanderson1307]

Hey Camron! How does it work if you have more than one SKU packed in one box to the fulfillment center? Does each overpack carton have to contain only one SKU or can you have multiple SKU's in an over pack box? EXCELLENT VIDEO!

[@DOBBIE-oi8rd]

Did u ever get the answer to this? I’m stuck on this too

[@rickanderson1307]

No but you can put different sku’s in an over pack box.

[@MaverickMarket24]

Hey I'm at 7:58 and I used 22x19x25 and 14 pounds and I get 2 warnings. 1 says Box volume does not meet the expected minimum cubic inch. 2,121,408.00 and #2 says box weight does not meet the expected minimum of 192 pounds. (I'm shipping plastic 1 liter bottles) so if I hit confirm and continue it automatically changes my dimensions. Not sure how to get the dimensions correct. The box says 58x48x63.5 centimeters. I converted to inches. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

[@MaverickMarket24]

Sorry also when I go to 12:00 minute mark I see that my shipping plan doesn't qualify for Amazon optimized or partial ship options. So I don't see an amount under the shipping mode (small parcel delivery) this all stems from me forcing this thru when I was getting the previous errors with dimensions.

[@waltertupou]

Thank you for the clarity brother I truly appreciate it.

[@niftaroonie]

is there any way maybe via a program or software that I can choose what fullfillment center I said my shipments to or do I have to do the one they pick for me?

[@lizvillanyi]

Hi Camron, this video was useful. I have not created my listing yet because waiting for sample product, but my question is... Do i need to create listing first before creating shipment plan, And if i create listing page, does that go active on Amazon even though i have not shipped product from supplier yet. Can you explain steps from start to finish on how to have the end result of my product listed on Amazon and maybe make some cashola?? Thanks

[@larrypuzner4091]

what lables to put on the itmes inside the box when its coming from China?

[@blueskys5514]

thanks man you're the goat.

[@gobeuactive]

Thanks for the vid Cameron... Can I ask your advice,, My shipping plan got cancelled, but stock is on its way. Amazon have advised me the stock won't be accepted unless a delivery appointment has been made. It hasn't been made yet! They asked me to make a new shipping plan but thats tricky seeing as stock is on its way via UPS. My forwarder say that when we get proof of delivery it will be added to stock, but I feel like its a ll a gamble and dont want to incur removal fees. Any advice? Thanks.

[@jesgetme]

So in the beginning stages but this is the part I was just curious about. Great video man!! I'm ready to go

[@CamronJames]

You got this!

[@jkny771]

On the shipping label that will go on master cartons, do you need to specify country of origin? (Made in China)?

[@Eroll9094]

thanks for the great explanation Camron,could you please let me know if i am shipping from turkey,still can accept the (ups amazon partner carrier0or have to select other from non amazon partner and send through forwarders in turkey??i mean ups will serve only in local service or also out of the countries.

[@Mr.Ladisla]

hi Camron. This is a big help. I just have a question. what if i'm using a DHL box and inside that box is my master carton for my products. is it possible? or the DHL box be considered as my Master carton box. can you help me here. Thank you and more power!

[@ostandraffe2971]

This tutorial was really helpful. Is there a way to have all your products shipped to 1 warehouse instead of multiple locations to save shipping costs?

[@ellicorn]

Thanks for this video Cameron. Question, the longest side of my cartons is over 25". It's 26.8". Do you know how I should handle this? Thank you.

[@pitta990]

great video! what if i have my upc code already? is it necessary to have thr amazon bar code the same ?

[@lindadixon7692]

Great info. Thanks Camron.

[@judykrassner6278]

Thank you! Your videos are very clear step by step.

[@SmileyFace916]

This video was very helpful! Thanks! I did the steps as I watched this on my phone. Could you also post a video please or comment on how unit box labels can be generated? (To be affixed by manufacturer)

[@brentverc]

This was great. Thanks so much. Going to give starting my own store a go thanks to you

[@CamronJames]

Have fun and best of luck!

[@danishshahzad8075]

Hi how to send the listed product directly from wholeseller to amazon warehouse for wholeselling?

[@SinkEvolution]

Great video! quick question regarding the FNSKU, from what I understand when you create an amazon listing you will get the FNSKU and you when you create an amazon shipping plan you will also get an FNSKU. Is it the same ? or the amazon listing FNSKU must be stuck on the packaging of the product and shipping plan FNSKU must be stuck on the cartons/box ?

[@OZY_Fitness]

Hey Camron, i'm following you for a while, your videos are super helpfull , i've sent some products already to amazon, and they all sold in the blink of an eye. I have 2 questions though, i'm going to bring goods from China now, and still don't undestand how to create shipment plan with pallets( if one is full and few boxes left, should we do one more pallet for those boxes), and second one maybe you could tell about oversized items and shipping them from China.Maybe you could cover this in your next videos. Thank you and regards from Ukraine

[@samanthafarquharson6710]

OMG. .you are amazing. This is so clear. Thank you so much!!

[@ivanemauricelandicho5663]

hi can u make a video, on shipping fragile products to amazon fba, thanks!

[@lindaregehr6979]

Thank you for this; could you clarify please-the difference between 'case pack' and 'single sku'. I sell books-and I'm not clear which of these to select. Thank you!

[@sdot3358]

Is there a way you can push print to download the shipping labels?? I currently don't have a printer and it's not opening that shipping window for me 😔 but If I could send it to my email I could print it out at my job

[@yanarisriveracarrasquillo6606]

how I send the print box labels to my manufacturer? I'm new in this

[@ChrisFewins]

Thanks Camron, loving your videos, what do you do if your box ready for shipping contains smaller boxes which in turn contains the inventory?

[@MUHAMMADFAROOQ-jc8lc]

from last 4 days i am stuck at @19:56 it gives error while mentioning dimensions. i have 1000 pcs into one box , then i split 500 pcs into one and 250 but gives the same error cubic inch 22,632,24 . please guide me how to sort out this problem plzzzzzz

[@jithin9786599183]

Maximum Units per box is 150

[@charlietuffin7716]

Great video, do you ask the manufacturer to put the SKU sticker on each individual unit or just the box with multiple units inside?

[@mrchillin5326]

What is the maximun unit you can put in a box?

[@lesleyanderson8071]

You are so amazingly helpful, thank you so much!!

[@krizy444]

Thanks for the video! I don't have a duplicate of any item...I have 40 different items that I want to send in. Can we see how that would be done?

[@247Homesllc]

So glad i found this video. thank you.

[@liquilinks]

Can you clarify how we are supposed to notate this in our Shopify inventory? I manager all my inventory through Shopify, so when I send product to Amazon, I don't want to mark it as sold because technically it hasn't sold yet. So really, should I just create a new location in Shopify and transfer inventory to that location aka "amazon"? And then how would I make sure that amazon is pulling inventory from that location when an FBA sale is made? Currently I integrate Amazon and Shopify through Codisto

[@emilaksenov8327]

Awesome video, thanks! Quick question- If you selecting LTL mode and you’re shipping your self, do you have to put labels on each item ( let’s assume 5 per box),then each box, then on skid ?

[@MariaSantos-sm3cw]

Hello Camron! How are you, thank you for your information, excellent video!! Im having issues with the freight forwarder and labelling my products from China. Could you help me with this? Thank you!!

[@tawnicummings6872]

Super helpful as I navigated my first ever shipment! Thank you so much!

[@CamronJames]

Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching.

[@Peaceseeker917]

Hey Cameron, long time Subscriber and yo've helped me out alot in the past. One question, I'm starting a new product, and I have the same product but in 3 different set quantities. When I tried filling out the packing send line. I realized I could only add two packing lines. but i have three SKUs, how can I add the first packing line and send and ship at same time.?

[@ProjectPerjury]

This was helpful information and I was able to use 30% of the information, but it wasn't step by step. I'm stuck on the very first step of how to convert to FBA. Shipping information was informative, but first I would like to know how to convert from Merchant to FBA. I'm getting a "more information needed" and it's not allowing me to select the tab to go any farther

[@farhadaminizar4138]

Hi Camron. I am sorry, I know this video is a few months old. I had a question, how about if 1 box out of 20 boxes has less number of units? Like 19 boxes have 24 pcs and 1 box has 18. Do I create 2 shipping plan? Thanks you.

[@montanaj6732]

When getting quotes from manufacturers, how to know what Amazon warehouse to provide them with to get accurate price quotes for shipping???

Hey Camrom! If a keyword in my listing is "wooden spoon" and on Helium 10 appears to be "woodenspoon", (no space), do they still index? Or that space makes it to not index?

Brilliant video's 😊. I have one issue as it will not let me add my address? It will let e print sku label ect but no address so I cannot finalise my shipping order. Any help please?

[@simonaansari7350]

Hi Cameron, great tutorial. Just a quick question, what if my manufacturer packs 2 boxes of 40 units each and a 3rd box of 20 units to total 100 units? When I enter 3 boxes in the ready to send section, the system defaults the number of units to 120 for this reason. Is there another line I can enter 20 units in 3rd box?

[@richardturner8215]

Thank you! Great video. While I was finishing manufacturing my product, my account was deactivated due to inactivity. I've submitted the verification documents and then tried to ship inventory to amazon. The shipment workflow keeps getting stuck at step 1b, where it's trying to find a fulfillment center to ship to. Is this because of the deactivated account that has yet to be activated or potentially from some other issue?

Hi I have a question, what if I am sending a product that has 4 color options? 1- would I need 4 skus? 2- if so how would I go about doing that because I don’t see an options for that when setting up my shipping plan. The boxes have a color selector selection where my manufacturer is going to check the box of the color that is in the box I am just wondering if each color needs its own sku sticker

[@123-DDP]

Different colors will definitely be different SKUs, you need to creat the SKU by yourself

[@redcrimson718]

Thank you for this informative and clear tutorial!

[@BudimirSanic]

What is your opinion, if product is seasonal, is it ok to start with sales just after the season, slowly to prepare for the other or we should target season for the sales start?

[@westcotfilms]

Thank You for your great information. Can you please tell us about FC transfer? And also, if i have 500 of all the same items that fit in a medium 20lb box, is it better to ship all 500 in 1 box and let amazon do what amazon does or send out 5 100 item boxes? my first shipment is in FC transfer and they have had my in received status for about 10 days now. thank you

[@Tech-Oclock]

When printing SKU if my supplier is sending me 100 units they should print 100 sku right? Put the product on a poly bag and stick the sku sticker outside of it right? Hope you answer thank you

[@ihsanpharmacist2]

Super helpful

[@CamronJames]

love it!

[@seankelly6541]

[@EssenceCollection-hu9iy]

Hello James, Nice video. Thank for making this video. I have some questions: 1. I have 3 variation product based on size. Size A, Size B and Size C. For Size A, I have 5 Carton. Each carton had 10 boxes which will be sold to customer For Size B, same 5 carton and had 10 boxes For Size C, 3 Carton and had 8 boxes In this case, where should I put the UPC barcode and where should I add the amazon label? Should i add amazon label on carton and UPC barcode on each small boxes? I have 3 barcode for each size. I believe this will be small size parcel.
