Create shipments with Send to Amazon
Send to Amazon is a streamlined shipment creation workflow that requires fewer steps to replenish your Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) inventory.
Send to Amazon highlights
- Simplified process steps reducing time spent creating shipments
- Create reusable case pack templates to provide box content information, box weight and dimensions, and prep and labeling details for SKUs shipped in repeatable single-SKU boxes. Once you save those details in a template, you will not have to re-enter box content information for each shipment, saving you time during replenishment.
- Pack single and mixed SKU boxes before creating shipments for optimal placement and update quantity as you pack to account for any discrepancies before confirming your shipment destinations
- Compare estimated carrier fees between shipping inventory as individual boxes (Small Parcel) and pallets (Less-than Truckload) to make a well-informed decision regarding the shipping mode that suits your business
