Pay attention! Today I will introduce you to the guide about shipping from China to Amazon FBA .
FBA, the full name is Fulfilment by Amazon, that is, the seller delivers the goods to the Amazon fulfillment center.
Amazon is responsible for storing and managing the goods, picking and packaging the goods, and providing fast delivery, and providing local language to provide customer service and return service.
Three FBA-related labels about China to Amazon FBA:
Product label:
Also known as FNSKU, it is a label starting with XOO and must cover the original barcode of the product. The product label is the logo that Amazon identifies the product and puts on the shelf.
Choose Amazon Barcode.
The Manufacturer’s Barcode is the barcode that comes with the product, and the Amazon Barcode is the FNSKU product label that Amazon generates for you. This is different from the labeling service in the FBA settings.
If you choose the manufacturer’s barcode, you don’t need to post FNSKU, just UPC or EAN, but that’s a mixed storage service, which means that Amazon will put your product together with other identical products. (If the manufacturer’s barcode is still in use, it may not be stored in the warehouse).
Notice！
If you create a shipment in the background and display the prompt shown in the figure below, it is because the seller selected the manufacturer label when you created the plan.
The correct way is: to check whether the default label is the Amazon label in the Amazon logistics in the settings, if not, change it to the Amazon label, then sell one, and then send the FBA2, shipment label:
Refers to the label posted on the outer box of the package, marked with a shipment ID: FBAXXXXXX, a shipment number may have multiple boxes, which will be reflected in U001 and U002 of the shipment number.
