[@CharlesOkae]

I don't know if it's cause this is outdated, but you actually can add the extra odd sized carton to the shipping plan. They let you add another packing line if you might have an extra box of additional units that might not have been able to fit into your typical unit per box count. So if you have an extra box with less units per box, you can add a packing line for case pack. I will say though you can only add 1 additional packing line which I think they did for if you have additional units that were to be included. It works for me because when selecting individual units you get capped off at 10 boxes so in that case case-pack is more beneficial. Great video nonetheless!

[@CrescentKao]

Yes, this is a feature that was added to the shipping plan workflow after this video was made.

Hello - can you do a video on the new Amazon Global Logistics option ?.. It seems very worthwhile, but has quite a few detailed steps in setting up and different shipment work flow

[@CrescentKao]

Hello. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@g.p.mushrooms5496]

I just wanted to start by saying that I definitely enjoy your video's. They're very helpful. You've become my guru, and don't even know it. I do have a question?? I just recently started selling on Amazon. I did send 20 unit's to FBA, unfortunately it's the type of product that's time sensitive, and won't sell unless the ship date is fast, do to it's nature. But for some reason my FBA item has a consistent ship date of one month. How can I get the ship date down on my FBA, did I mess up somewhere? This 1 month delivery service through FBA will kill my sales before they begin.

[@CrescentKao]

Hello! I'm glad you find value in the videos! By time sensitive, do you mean it has an expiration date? Amazon requires that all items have a minimum shelf life of 90 days, explained here: sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/201003420 FBA items all have a 2-day ship policy if the buyer has a Prime account. You should contact seller support if its not.

What's Up Man! Nice video. really appreciate it. Hey, I have a question. When I create my shipment plan, I usually ship between 5-8 boxes, and the warehouse is like 40 minutes from my house. do you think/know if I can drop off the boxes myself at the amazon warehouse? thanks!!!

[@CrescentKao]

What's up! I'm glad you found value in the video! Unfortunately, you can't drop off inventory directly to the Amazon warehouse, it has to be shipped. Like I mentioned in the video, if you use the Partnered carrier program, it's extremely cheap to ship. Probably not worth your time and hassle to drive 40min each way.

[@peterforan6139]

We sell medium size products which have their own box (one product, one box) and which we want to place directly on pallet, without placing them in an additional box. Which one of these two options is the best? -Place both box label and FNSKU on the product -Place only the FNSKU on the product Thanks!

[@CrescentKao]

The FNSKU always has to go on every unit. The box labels go on the shipping cartons. If you're going to palletize it, there's different pallet labels that need to go on each side of the pallet.

After that I never sent FBA shipment now I want to sent again and looking the video no one explained like your. 1000000 👍 Can you tell me I'm still confused 1, when I m planning to sent FBA shipment I have to pack and prep my package first or make shipping plan first? 2, when I make pake of 2 unit or set of 2 What is considered when I write the total unit Pack of 2 unit considered 2 unit or 1unit Thanks a lot your excellent work excellent 👌

[@CrescentKao]

Hello! I'm glad that you found value in the video just in time for your needs! And thank you for your continued support, I appreciate it. 1) If you know ahead of time how your shipment is going to be packed and you know the size/weight of the shipping cartons, then you don't need to pack them ahead of time. 2) A unit is what the buyer gets regardless of what's included.

If I would like to send my some product samples (say 100 units in 1 box, dimension is less than 1meter for each side, total 35kg) from China to AMZ FBA warehouse, does it mean that I need to send the product to AMz’s partner courier company? Might I have your advice on delivery vendor selection for small size product sample delivery from China to US AMZ FBA warehouse?

[@CrescentKao]

You're welcome! You can't send in a box that large. I went over the shipping guidelines in the video. The longest side of the shipping carton must be less than 25inches. The partnered carrier program is for domestic shipments only (within the continental US). You need to ship your products through a shipping carrier like FedEx or UPS from China to the US. This might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTYdpWepduUo6c

Thank you for your video I have a question regarding the non-Amazon partner carrier for the hazmat, dangerous goods. What should I do and how can I ship my product as a hazmat, dangerous goods while the partner carrier option are not available? as you know if I ship it by the not partner options, it will be Costy. please advise. Thanks again.

[@CrescentKao]

You're welcome. If you're not using the Partnered Carrier option, you have to arrange your own shipping with FedEx, UPS, DHL or whatever carrier you want and follow their shipping guidelines for hazmat.

[@callmedools]

How do you account for multiple pack groups when shipping individual units? example: SKU#1, SKU#2 100 of each. Amazon splits these over 2 Pack groups Pack group 1 = SKU#1 x 75 Pack Group 2 = SKU#1 x 25, SKU#2x 50 Pack Group 3 = SKU#2 x 50

[@CrescentKao]

You need to box them how you to. Otherwise, try creating separate shipping plans.

[@callmedools]

​@@CrescentKao do you mean: 1. the Shipping plan needs to be created first with the total qty to send inputted. Then 2. Amazon determines the packing group ie. which sku & qty to pack in which box? Then 3. Instruct warehouse how to pack the boxes per SKU.

Hello . greetings to you all I have a product consisting of 749 pieces. 18 cartons (17 cartons, each carton contains 42 pieces, and the last carton contains 32 pieces). I want to make a shipping plan for them. My question when writing the shipping plan: How can I add the last carton that contains 32 pieces? Do I add them alone or what? Another question. The goods are at an external warehouse (3PL WEREHOUSE COMPANY) and I want to send only 5 cartons (210 pieces) to the Amazon warehouse as an initial shipment. In the shipping plan, do I write all the 18 cartons, or only the 5 cartons that I want to ship? This is so that I can get an Amazon label for all the cartons. Thanks

[@CrescentKao]

No, the ship from address should be the actual address it's shipping from.

The shipping plan is just to let Amazon know what you're shipping to Amazon. This goes over it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXXXk5Z7qcydoNk

Do I have to put each 10pieces inside 1 case/clear bag? Like if I'm sending out 3 different types of SKU/accessories and each 10pcs will be inside 1 bag totaling 3 bags inside 1 box. Is this the right thing to do or do I just toss them all inside 1 box which could make it hard for the warehouse unpacker to organize? 2. If I do put the 10pcs inside 1 bag, do I need to put any label on it saying something like, "Please open. Individual units inside x 10pcs" Please help out. Thank you.

[@CrescentKao]

I'm not clear on what you're selling but if a buyer gets a 10 pack when they buy 1 item from you, then the 10pack is considered "1 unit". Each unit needs it's own barcode, not the 10pcs inside it. When you ship them to Amazon, you can put all your units inside 1 master carton.

Hi @Crescent In my case, my chinese supplier has not given me info regarding # of shipping cartons and # of units in each, so I have not created a shipping plan as of yet. I simply gave my supplier a random FBA warehouse address somewhere in New York and they gave me a shipping quote based on that address. Once they give me the required cartons info, I’ll go ahead and create a shipping plan during which Amazon will give me the actual FBA warehouse to ship to, and I will give my supplier this address. I expect the shipping cost to be virtually the same as the temporary address I gave them (considering shipment is coming from China to the US in both cases). Am I correct in my expectations? If theres a chance that the real shipping will be much different, is there a way to get the real FBA warehouse address before having the carton info? Thanks for the help!

[@CrescentKao]

Hello! You've got it covered... I would get quotes using an Amazon warehouse in Texas instead of NY, as its more centralized in the US but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. The bulk of the shipping cost is crossing the ocean and when your shipment arrives in the US, you can use Amazon's Partnered Carrier program so the costs are minimal anyways regardless of where its going in the US.

[@ArslanSana]

@@CrescentKao Good point on using Texas, switched to that. Thanks. One thing though: Im not sure how to use amazons Partnered-Carrier program paired with overseas shipping. I have just been asking for door-to-door shipping and expect my supplier to get the goods from China to the warehouse address I gave them without any hand-off to me, as I think that keeps things simpler. Do you have a video or resource on how to switch to Partnered-carrier once the goods arrive in the U.S?

Speak to your freight forwarder. If they have a warehouse near the port, you can have them store your shipment there. Then create a shipping plan using the partnered carrier program to save money on the domestic shipment.
