Sellers new to Amazon will need to set up a catalogue (listing) first for their products following the steps mentioned previously.

4. Choose the inventory to send with their corresponding units/boxes.
5. Confirm shipping. Click “View contents” to review your shipments and assign ship date.
6. Print box labels. Select “Print” to generate a PDF with labels for each box in your shipment.
7. Confirm carrier and pallet information (for pallets shipments only).

9. Once labels are printed, please paste them to the corresponding box and send them to the fulfilment centre.

Note: These general requirements must be followed when shipping units to fulfilment centres. Amazon may refuse, return, or repackage any product delivered to a fulfilment centre with inadequate or non-compliant packaging.

There are three options for labelling products:

• Use existing UPC or EAN barcodes for eligible products.
• Apply Amazon barcodes directly to the product or packaging material.
• Use the FBA label service to have Amazon apply barcodes to the products for a per item fee.

If the shipment has already been created the seller can track and access through the shipping queue by clicking the Menu icon (three horizontal lines on top left) > Inventory > Shipments.
