How To Send A Shipment To Amazon FBA Best Education Page #Online Earning

How To Send A Shipment To Amazon FBA



in this video I'm going to show you how
to send a shipment to Amazon now in
order to send a shipment to Amazon you
require three things number one you want
to have made sure that you've set up
your Amazon seller central account and
you can easily do that just by going to
seller central Amazon comm number two
you want to make sure that you have an
inventory that you can send to Amazon
and this is your product ideally already
packaged in boxes and number three you
want to make sure that you've already
opted in for your product to be sold
through Amazon FBA which is essentially
fulfillment by Amazon you're going to be
sending your product your boxes of your
product to Amazon's fulfillment centers
and they're going to handle all the
fulfillment for you they're going to
store your product they're in their
warehouses and they're going to ship
your product when customers buy it from
amazon.com
now I'm going to show you the step by
step process in this video but before I
do I just want to point you to some very
important web pages on Amazon's web site
and these pages I'll link to below in
the description or in the blog post but
these pages have a lot more information
on how to ship your inventory to Amazon
and they have a few pages here which is
a really important to go through and the
reason is is that every product is
different depending on the weight of
your product the size of your product
you know it's going to be a little bit
of a different procedure so you want to
make sure you understand this and if you
have any further questions about it they
have a lot of this covered right here on
their website some of the pages here
they have some great videos for you as
well they're going to tell you about the
packaging requirements so you want to
make sure that your product is compliant
with that as well here's some different
you know images here or videos that they
have you know they essentially just want
to make sure that your products don't
get damaged there's nothing loose you
know certain things that they do not
allow and essentially you know how you
want it to look in order to send it
successfully so I do recommend to view
these just because again every product
is different and you'll probably have
some questions whether you're sending
case packed products in a box or if
you're sending you know in a polybag
units you know so there's different
requirements for each product in this
can be a little bit confusing because I
know I had a lot of questions when I was
first shipping my products and I had to
do some research and even reach out to
Amazon as well about you know what to do
for certain products that I have ok so
just want to put that out there and make
sure that you have access to these pages
as well ok so here I am on my Amazon
seller central account and what you want
to do when you log in is go up here to
inventory and manage inventory this is
the page that I'm at right now which is
to manage inventory this is where you're
going to see your products how many
units you have available the prices etc
you can edit your products here as well
so you'll have to have added a product
first in order to send your shipment or
inventory to Amazon's fulfillment center
and you can do that just by clicking
here on add a product or you can add
your product just by going to inventory
and add a product right here so you want
to make sure you've set that up first I
actually have another video on my
youtube channel where I share how to set
up your product your seller central
account as well so you might want to go
through that first just by you know
looking through my youtube channel or
you can also click the link below in the
description if you want to access to
more free videos like this that I cover
a lot a lot more on how to sell on
Amazon in this process but make sure
that you've set up your product first
now once you have your product here and
let's say you know this product I want
to send some inventory to you're going
to check the box here then you're going
to click on this button and you're going
to click on send and replenish inventory
ok now you're going to want to create
what is called a shipping plan and if
this is the first time that you're
shipping a product to Amazon you're
going to want to select create a new
shipping plan right here here in the
ship from area you're going to put in
the address of your supplier or
manufacturer essentially wherever your
product is being shipped from you're
going to want to put in their company
name their address and their phone
number so if you're shipping your
product from China for example and your
supplier is sending their inventory in
your boxes to the amazon fulfillment
centers then you're going to want to put
in their information right here you know
if you're shipping your product from you
know United States wherever your
supplier is again whoever shipping it
you put in that address if you're
shipping your products from your own
house then you would put in your address
and information here so I already have
my suppliers information I've already
inputted however if you don't have it
there yet then just select ship from
another address and you can change the
ship from address based on whatever
shipping plan that you're creating next
is the packet the packing type and
there's two options individual products
or case packed products individuals if
just if you're sending one individual
product by itself case packed means that
you have the products the units in boxes
so I always send case packed products
because all of my products all my units
are basically stored in a box and I send
each box to Amazon's fulfillment centers
now if you come down here to the bottom
you're going to see the storage monitor
and this is really useful because it's
basically telling you how much inventory
you currently have already being stored
at Amazon and you know what the maximum
is that you're allowed now right now for
me based on the plan that I have with
Amazon seller central I can have 5,000
units of product beyond that I'm going
to get fine for that however they do
have different options if you want to
store more inventory at the Amazon
warehouses and oversize storage is for
products you have that might be
oversized you know this is based on if
your products are really big or heavy
you know there's a certain amount of
storage that you have for that as well
okay so next you'd want to select
continue to shipping plan okay so here
you can change the name if you like of
this shipping plan I'm just going to
leave it as it is you know here again is
the ship from information the
marketplace destination United States
that's where I'm sending my products to
the United States so that it can be sold
on amazon.com this is going to be
different you know based on where you
want to send it your inventory to so if
you want to send sell your product and
United Kingdom then you would have a
different marketplace destination if you
wanted to sell your product in Canada
then of course you'd send it
to Canada so right now for me my Amazon
seller central account is already set up
to sell in the United States as a
different procedure to set up if you
want to send your inventory to the
United Kingdom or other countries we're
gonna have to send it to that country's
Amazon Fulfillment Center okay so that's
a whole other thing that you're going to
have to setup a new Amazon seller
central account for you can change even
right here at the top the different
country settings as well but I'm just
going to leave this to the United States
because that's where the biggest market
is okay packing type is already selected
now here you're going to if you scroll
down you're going to see a the product
that that I have here the SKU number
here for the product as well the
condition of the product and if you
click this button here you're going to
see what is called the ASI in number and
the FN SKU number now this number here
needs to be on every product every unit
that you send to Amazon this basically
helps Amazon identify your product
inside their warehouses and you can
either have this number as a barcode
that is printed on the label and the
packaging of your product or you can
have Amazon put this barcode that I'm
going to show you a little bit later you
can put this on your product just via a
sticker and if you offer them to do that
for you then they're going to charge you
a little bit I think it's about 20 cents
per product to essentially just put on
that barcode per product so for me
personally I've just integrated that
into my product packaging and label
design just to make it simple and to
save that 20 cents however the
disadvantage of that is you're limiting
yourself because you can't sell your
product then in retail stores it's only
limited to Amazon this inventory so
that's one thing to keep in mind and
I'll maybe explain that a little bit
later on in this video okay but just
knowing these numbers here is very
important because each product has a
different different number that
represents it okay here is where you're
going to put the units per case in the
number of cases so this is going to be
based on how many how much inventory
that you're going to be sending to
Amazon so let's say that you're just
in a hundred units to Amazon so
depending on the size of your product
and the weight of the product you know
you're going to be limited in how many
units you can put in per box to send so
every product is going to be totally
different and it's going to also be
based on their packaging requirements
because they have certain requirements
for certain products and how many units
that you can have in a box and also that
the size and the weight of a box as well
so let me see here if I can actually
pull something up so here they say for
example like the case pack limit is a
hundred and fifty units per case this is
if you're doing the case pack product
which is what I'm doing so 150 units is
the max I could have so if I was sending
a thousand units then I'd have to you
know I can't just put a thousand units
in one box I have to break it up into
multiple boxes so let's just say I'm
going to send 150 units in which case
it'd just be one case and I'm going to
put in 150 units in that one case so
total units is going to be 150 if I
wanted to send let's say 750 I'd have to
have five different boxes of 150 units
each okay so depending on how much
inventory and how many that you want to
put in the Box just know that 150 units
is the maximum okay so once you've
selected how many boxes and units per
case you want to click on continue now
here they have some additional packaging
and prep materials which they offer to
you I usually don't use this at all
I just would click continue next okay so
now is where you see the labeling
required which is kind of what I was
talking about a little bit earlier so if
I scroll down here you'll see that every
product needs a label on it that I refer
to which is the FN SKU number ok the
barcode that you have to have on your
product now you have an option here of
again either you have you put on the
label yourself or you can have Amazon do
that for you but like I said if you have
Amazon do that for you then they're
going to charge you I think 20 cents per
label so you can select that if you want
you know they have some information and
details here the
tell you what their fees are you have to
agree to it or you can say no thank you
but like I said from my product I
already have that barcode label that's
integrated into the design and packaging
of my product now here is where you're
able to print the labels for your
products so that you can either put
these on yourself and you could print
them out as stickers as well if you want
and put them on yourself but I found
that to be a hassle especially if your
supplier I mean you'd have to send it to
your supplier probably pay them to do
that for you or you're going to have to
spend time to do that yourself
but again if you want to have it print
it out and integrate it into your
packaging then you can print out the
labels here you just you know download
it they have different sizes here as
well so pull it up to show you so this
just be an example of you know you just
have this here this barcode and this
number integrated onto your packaging or
design or you'd have this as a sticker
that you would put on to your product
okay so I'm just going to select
merchants and hit continue okay so next
we're going to review the shipment
details so you know just verify
everything here is correct they're going
to start to give you known address on
where you should send the inventory to
now depending on how much inventory that
you're sending they might give you
multiple addresses and the reason for
that is they want to make sure that your
inventory is spread out all throughout
the country so it oftentimes make sure
that you have your inventory you know a
certain number of units that stored
maybe in like the west side of the
United States some in the east side of
the United States maybe some cells some
north some central just so that when
they ship it they can ship it as easily
and quickly as possible to your
customers so you just want to verify
this is correct click on approve
shipment
okay so here you want to click on view
shipment contents and that will
basically show you the contents that's
going to be inside your shipment you can
download a pack list and this is
basically just just kind of summarizing
the pack but if everything looks good
then just want to click on work on
shipment you don't want to scroll down
here to the bottom and here you have the
options of shipping your product so if
it's a small parcel delivery you know
individual boxes that you're sending
you'd select this if you're shipping
pallets and you know shipment that's at
least 150 pounds you would select this
option here shipping carrier I always
use a UPS which is what Amazon used or
partnered with them and you get the
cheapest prices with them however if you
want to ship and you know using DHL or
another carrier you can select the
options here you know FedEx UPS I just
shipped by UPS just because it's the
cheapest here again you just put your
shipment packing details so for me it's
just one box and you know box number one
this is where you're going to put in the
weight of the box and the dimensions of
the box and so usually I get my supplier
to give me this information because
they're the ones that are boxing
everything so I don't have any data to
give you guys right now but usually it's
around 33 pounds out per box for me I'm
not totally I don't remember exactly the
dimensions but let's just put this is
just in inches so let's just put 24 by
24 by 24 okay you come down here going
to calculate the shipping charges so
it's going to cost $25 and 80 cents
you're going to have to click on and
accept the charges
alright and once you've accepted them
I'm just going to accept them real quick
they're going to charge you this either
from your credit card or from payments
you've already received in your Amazon
account
you can avoid them as well which I'll
probably do after this video and then
here are the shipping labels which every
box requires to have on them when you
ship down Amazon and they have some
instructions here that's worth going
over but I just click on print box
labels we pull this up so here are the
box labels that you're going to send to
your supplier okay so whoever your
supplier is send this to them they need
to put this on the box and so that
basically you know ups can you know has
the the location the address where to
send it to you it's going to be a
barcode here as well for Amazon when
they receive your order it's going to
have the shipping from address from your
existing supplier and you're going to
either want to put this on the Box
yourself or like I said just send it to
your supplier and they'll do that for
you okay
that way they'll know exactly where to
ship it to and then the last step is
just clicking on complete shipment and
then from there you're good to go and
from there you'd want to send the
product to Amazon the address that they
have put the label on the box and you're
good to go
and then when Amazon receives your
shipment they'll email you and notify
you when they've received the shipment
and and then at that point your product
the product listing will be live on
Amazon and you can start receiving
orders for it on amazon.com so that's
all there is to it on how to send a
shipment and inventory to Amazon pretty
straightforward but sometimes you can be
a little bit confused and if you are
then again I'd recommend you just go
through some of these pages here they
have more information on the process
depending on what kind of product that
you're going to be sending so hopefully
