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.

With Send to Amazon, you can do the following:

• Save time creating shipments with simplified process steps.
• Create reusable case pack templates to provide box content information, box weight and dimensions, and prep and labeling details for shipments of single-SKU boxes. The templates are ideal when you use the same box configuration for a SKU because you won't have to re-enter the details each time you replenish inventory.
• Pack single-SKU and mixed-SKU boxes before you create shipments, and update quantities as you pack, before you confirm your shipment destinations.
• Choose the best option to ship your inventory as individual boxes (small parcel delivery) or pallets (less than truckload delivery).
• Compare estimated carrier fees to make the best choice between shipping your inventory as individual boxes (small parcel delivery) or pallets (less than truckload delivery).
