"FBM: Amazon Buy Shipping - Carriers Offering Pickup in my own warehouse"
Hello, good morning.
I’m working on fulfilling my first FBM orders and am using the Buy Shipping program for my shipments. However, I’ve noticed that I need to take my products to the carrier’s hubs (such as USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc.).
It would be much more convenient if carriers could pick up orders directly from my warehouse, rather than us having to take them to their hubs.
Could you please let me know which carriers offer pickup services and which do not in the "Buy shipping Program"? Also, how can I check or set up this option to ensure i work with carriers that work with pickups by default?
Thank you very much.

You can set up pickups with the carriers. We use UPS and USPS. For USPS, they will pick up for free (on their regular route). Just sign up on their website. You have to have a pickup requested by something like 3am day of pickup.
For UPS, call 800-PICK-UPS or go to their website and sign up for an account. Ask about options for pickups - these all have fees. Around here are options include: daily pick up, one time pickup, and smart pickup.
Can't help you with FedEx. Around here they charge $4/box for pickup. Haven't ever been able to get a 'pick up everything we have' pricing so we don't use them.

Schedule your pickups with your drop-offs and you can usually get a cheaper pickup fee.
