How do I use last-mile delivery services on FBA shipments?

Last-mile delivery is ideal when Amazon gives you multiple destination warehouses. It means you can arrange for one international shipment to your logistics provider’s warehouse and have them split it for you.

If want to use one of Amazon’s last-mile delivery options, put your logistics provider’s warehouse as your initial shipping destination. Once the goods arrive there, you can schedule a pickup.

When choosing a destination on the Freightos.com Search page, choose whichever option is closer to your assigned Amazon warehouse (be aware the choices are limited and only available in certain countries).

Labeling can either be done at the factory or by your provider. If you choose to have it labeled at the factory, the supplier must apply both the FBA labels and the last-mile delivery labels.

Remember, last-mile services generally only take loose cargo and usually about 12 boxes at a time. If your goods exceed this number or are being shipped on pallets, the delivery service may have difficulty with final transport.

If you’re shipping Express, you can ship directly to your designated Amazon warehouse.
