If you’re sending your inventory in pallet shipments, you’ll be asked to confirm carrier and pallet information in step 4 of the Send to Amazon workflow, after printing and applying box labels.
In this step, you will select the carrier that will ship your pallets to Amazon. You can take advantage of discounted shipping rates and automated tracking by selecting an Amazon partnered carrier and buying and printing shipping labels in the workflow. Alternatively, you can use a non-partnered carrier to book shipping outside of Seller Central.

If you have selected an Amazon partnered carrier, follow these steps:
If you have selected a non-partnered carrier, follow these steps:
For more information about carrier requirements and delivery of pallet shipments, see Carrier requirements for LTL and FTL deliveries.
You can cancel your shipment by clicking on the Void shipments and charges button at the bottom of the page.
For pallet shipments, after you have confirmed your shipping selections and accepted the charges, you have one hour to void Amazon partnered carrier charges and get a full refund. After that time, voiding will cancel all shipments you have created, but you will not be able to void the shipping charges.
You can void non-partnered carrier shipments at any time. Voiding will cancel all the shipments you created and move them into Canceled status in your Shipping Queue. For more information, see Send to Amazon: Change or cancel your shipment
Fulfillment by Amazon uses box content information from step 1 to build pallet estimates. Pallet estimates assume boxes are one-dimensional and sort them in decreasing order. Each box is placed on the first pallet that it fits on without exceeding the box capacity for that pallet.
Example: The pallet height capacity is 100 inches, and you have boxes with heights that measure 82 inches, 43 inches, 40 inches, and 15 inches. The pallet estimate method would place 82-inch and 15-inch boxes on one pallet, and 43-inch and 40-inch boxes on a second pallet. This would result in an optimal height fit of 97 inches and 83 inches for the two pallets, respectively.
