After completing the box content information for your shipments, it's time to send it to Amazon and purchase shipping labels.
Note: Please be sure you are familiar with Amazon's LTL guidelines and requirements, located here — Truckload delivery to Amazon.
Once you’ve assigned and confirmed your box contents, a window will appear asking how you'd like to complete your shipment.
Choose Less Than Truckload Shipment(s) – LTL.
Click Confirm Shipping Mode.
On the new window, you will see all the Placement Options available, which contain information such as the number of boxes in each shipment, the destination of the warehouses, and the inbound placement fee. You can also see the expiration countdown, and have the option to Generate New Options.Note: Please keep in mind that if you decide to Generate New Options, the placement options you already have may not be available again.
Select a Placement Option to view more information.
In the Placement Option Inspector on the right, you can set the Ship Date, which is the date the shipment will be ready to be loaded and transported from its origin. Below that, you'll be able to see and add your pallet details for each shipment in your placement option. You can also set the Freight Class for each shipment.
Palletize your boxes or estimate the weights and dimensions of each pallet you'll need. You can use the checkboxes next to each box to help you track which ones you've palletized and which ones you still need to load.
Note: You are not required to assign boxes to pallets. You can ignore these checkboxes if you do not find them helpful.
Click + New Pallet if you need to add more pallets to your shipment.
Fill in your pallet details.
Pallet height must be greater than 0", and less than 72" (for non-stackable) or 50" (for stackable).
Each pallet weight must be between 150 and 1500 lbs. Stackable pallets cannot exceed 750 lbs.Note: Please be sure you are familiar with Amazon's pallet guidelines and requirements, located here — Pallet requirements.
If the pallet is stackable, set the Stackable cell to Yes.
If you have more than one shipment in the Placement Option Inspector, repeat steps 5 through 8 for each additional shipment.
Click Get Carrier Options. (All pallet height and weight fields must be filled in before you can click this button.)
After you get your Carrier Options, you can select any option from the Carrier dropdown to see how much it charges for each shipment.
Note: You will see a cost for each carrier when you click on the Carrier dropdown, as shown above. However, this is currently only the cost of the first shipment in this placement option. Be sure to click on the carrier to check your total costs if your placement option involves more than one shipment.
Once you've chosen your carrier, click Confirm Placement.
After you carefully review your costs and shipments, tick the Accept all fees and shipment charges box, and then click Purchase All Shipping Labels.
For the moment, pallet labels and bills of lading must be printed directly from Send to Amazon in Seller Central. We plan to add support for printing these in InventoryLab in the near future.
