Premium Placement Form to opt in and out

You can request to opt in and out of this service or change Fulfillment Center (FC) using the links below. Allow two weeks for the changes to get updated.

Destination Fulfillment Center

Amazon assigns the destination FC automatically at the time of creating a shipment, based on balancing the distribution of customer’s demand and inventory at each FC. As a result, some destination FCs may be different at every shipment event. Additionally, by holding inventory at multiple FCs, the risk of being delivered late due to natural disaster such as typhoons or heavy snow is mitigated. An FC can be fixed in cases where shipping to a different FC every time would be difficult, such as because shipping is from overseas or shipping products using a charter vehicle. Where it is preferred that products are shipped to the same FC, please use the Premium Placement Service.

Premium Placement Service fees

This service is optional, and fees will not be charged unless you start using it or if you opt out from the service.

However, charging (i.e., invoicing) the fees to the applicable seller accounts is being delayed due to technical issues.

For inbound shipments from outside Japan

If you opt out from the service, the Premium Placement fee will not be charged. Please note that unless you have an entity in Japan that can act as your importer of record, you will need an Attorney for the Customs Procedures (ACP) that can support your FBA shipments to various destination FCs. For more information on ACP, watch this video and read the guidance (pdf).

By unfixing your destination FC, please be advised that you will need an ACP in each region where destination FCs are located. If you already have an appointed ACP, please confirm which regions they handle and take action accordingly. You can find a list of service providers here that can act as an ACP and support your FBA shipments (see "FBA shipment support column" on the list).

Note: When you use the above service providers, all of the contract for the service such as “Terms and Conditions” shall be exchanged between the service providers and the exhibitor. By introducing this service, Amazon does not provide any guarantee or assume responsibility for service providers. In addition to this, the Amazon technical support does not provide any support for the service. Please contact the service providers directly for any queries.
