On this page you will learn how to print and apply box labels for

• Small Parcel shipments
• Pallet shipments

If you are using an Amazon partnered carrier:

1. Click Print box labels to generate a PDF with FBA box ID labels and carrier labels. The status of your shipment will automatically update from Working to Ready to ship.
2. Apply the right FBA box ID and carrier label to each box.
3. Hand off your boxes to the carrier.

If you are using a non-partnered carrier, follow these steps:

1. Click Print box labels to generate a PDF with only FBA box ID labels. The status of your shipment will change from Working to Ready to ship after you have printed box labels for the specific shipment.
2. Apply the correct FBA box ID label and carrier label to each box.
3. Hand off your boxes to the carrier.
4. Provide tracking IDs for your boxes either in the Send to Amazon Tracking details step or in the Track shipment tab of the Shipment Summary page.

You must put an FBA box ID label on the outside of each box so the labels will be visible when the pallet is unpacked at the fulfillment center. For more information about labeling your boxes, see Shipment label requirements.

1. Click Print box labels to generate a PDF with a box ID label.
2. Apply the right FBA box ID label to each box.

How do I let Amazon know that my shipment is on its way?

The Mark as shipped button has been removed because we now use tracking information to accurately update your shipment status. If you are not using an Amazon partnered carrier, provide tracking information for your shipments in either the final Tracking details step of the Send to Amazon workflow or the Track shipment tab in the Shipment summary page. After you've entered valid tracking information, the status of your shipment will change to Shipped.

If you are using an Amazon partnered carrier, we'll track and change the status of the shipment automatically for you.

The status of your shipment will show as Shipped on the Shipping Queue and the Shipment summary page.

How do I see the ship-from address?

In step 2 or step 3 of the workflow, you can see the ship-from address that you selected during step 1 in the step 1 header. You won’t be able to change this address after you confirm a shipment in step 2 of the workflow.

How do I print box labels?

Once you accept shipping charges in step 2, you will be able to download FBA box ID labels for each box in your shipment and print them out.

How do I access tracking and reconciliation information for a shipment?

Once you have handed over your boxes to the carrier, you can track receipt of your inventory and find reconciliation information on the Shipment summary page by clicking the Track shipment links at the bottom of the Send to Amazon page.

Can I start a new shipment without handing over my current shipment to the carrier?

Yes, you can start a new Send to Amazon workflow without handing over your current shipment to the carrier. Once you’ve handed off your previous shipments to the carrier, you can access them from the Shipping Queue. You can provide the shipment tracking information in the Send to Amazon workflow or on the Tracking events tab of the Shipment summary page.

Earlier I was using Carrier Central for raising appointment requests, do I have to stop using Carrier Central?

Yes, for all fulfillment centers (excluding Heavy & Bulky) you can now directly schedule appointment using the Book FC appointment in Seller Central. You are no longer required to raise appointment requests through Carrier Central after you have scheduled an appointment through Seller Central.

How can I access workflow details from previously created shipments?

You can get information about all confirmed shipments from your Shipping Queue and search for them using the shipment ID. Clicking on a shipment from the Shipping Queue will take you to the Shipment Summary page. There you can track your shipment, see shipment contents, and reconcile inventory.
