Where to Ship Your Amazon FBA Shipment?
As one of the biggest companies in the world right now, Amazon has more than 175 fulfillment centers globally. The majority of these are in North America and Europe, and overall, it spans more than 150 million square feet of space.
When you create your shipping plan on the Amazon Sellers Account, the location where the boxes should be shipped is automatically generated. Each FBA order is different, so the location isn’t always the same. Amazon doesn’t allow sellers to drop off products and boxes at the fulfillment centers directly, so you would have to ship them through UPS or FedEx.
It is confusing to know where to ship the boxes, but Amazon has a service that allows a seller to ship to just one Amazon fulfillment center for all future shipments. It is cheaper than sending to multiple warehouses, saving you lots of money. How to do this? Simply go to the Inbound Settings in the Amazon Sellers Account and change the Inventory Placement Option.
After confirming that the selection has been updated, the Amazon Sellers Account will indicate where the products are being sent, and it will be specific to one fulfillment center only.
