What are the Recommended Services for shipping to Amazon?
Shipping to Amazon fulfillment centers can be tricky, but with Freightos.com’s Recommended Services, you can easily navigate the necessary steps to meet Amazon’s requirements for labeling and palletization.
If you choose an Amazon Fulfillment Center or Last Mile Delivery Warehousing as your destination, you’ll be prompted to consider the following recommended services.
Amazon Labeling
If shipping loose cargo to an Amazon fulfillment center, labeling will be on by default.
If shipping to a freight forwarder warehouse for last-mile delivery, labeling will appear but will be off by default.
Simply toggle the switches to ensure all requirements are met. Your supplier can handle labeling as long as you provide the correct labels.
If your freight forwarder labels the boxes, they must also palletize them.
