Create shipments with Send to Amazon

Send to Amazon is a streamlined shipment creation workflow that requires fewer steps to replenish your Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) inventory.

With Send to Amazon, you can do the following:

• Save time creating shipments with simplified process steps.
• Create reusable case pack templates to provide box content information, box weight and dimensions, and prep and labeling details for shipments of single-SKU boxes. The templates are ideal when you use the same box configuration for a SKU because you won't have to re-enter the details each time you replenish inventory.
• Pack single-SKU and mixed-SKU boxes before you create shipments, and update quantities as you pack, before you confirm your shipment destinations.
• Compare estimated carrier fees to make the best choice between shipping your inventory as individual boxes (small parcel delivery) or pallets (less than truckload delivery).

To start using the workflow, go to your Shipping Queue and click Send to Amazon near the top of the page to display the list of your FBA SKUs.

Next, follow the steps in the workflow to create your shipment:

• Step 1 - Choose inventory to send
• Step 1b - Pack individual units
• Step 2 - Confirm shipping
• Step 3 - Print box labels
• Step 4 - Confirm carrier and pallet information (for pallet shipments only)
• Step 5 — Print pallet labels (for pallet shipments with an Amazon partnered carrier only)
• Final step – Tracking details (for small parcel and pallet shipments not using an Amazon partnered carrier)
