One thing I think you forgot to mention is how the labeling works when you are shipping LTL instead of SPD, do your master cartons need the amazon FBA box ID and you just place the carrier shipping label on the 4 sides of the pallets?

Great vid! One question - are two-sided (flat) boxes allowed? For example, those commonly used for pantyhoses.

My product has the UPC sticker on them because that's all I had at the moment. Can I wait and put the FNSKU on the next order from the manufacturer? This is a custom item I created.

hello! Have an issue with labeling. The tracking labels(with company name/place and date of production) are missing both on the product and packaging. The goods are already shipped.

Thanks for sharing. We have products that sits on 3PL located in US. Does this means that we have to instruct them to pack each product unit either in a box or polybag with a FNSKU label outside the box, before putting all those units in a master carton? After we list a product, can we print the unit labels to be sent to them without first creating a shippin plan, since we don’t have details yet like the dimensions and weight? Hope I was able to ask it clearly. Thank you

Thanks for your quick reply! What can I do, my product is 24inch towel bar that needs some cushioning which is why it is 25.2 inches, how strict is the rules on this? The exact dimension of individual product is 25.2inch x 5.1inch x 4.2inch box and weight is about 1kg. It will be packed in a master carton so there will be a little extra with one side probably 26inch. I purchased a towel bar from a competitor to see their packaging and that was 24inch towel bar that had blister package over 27 inches did they just pay a penalty or was it moved to a higher tier Amazon fee? It was a Moen product they’re pretty famous brand I read somewhere that if I sent my products in with pallets there would be no such restriction?

each one of my units weigh 7.6kg and they are case packed in boxes of 4. The longest side is 27.5 inches.This exceeds the 50lb weight limit and 25 inch length. How do I work around this? Thanks :)
