Learn how choosing a Ship Date in InventoryLab can affect your placement options and shipping costs, and why selecting it carefully matters

Updated over 2 weeks ago

When finalizing your shipment in InventoryLab, you’ll be asked to set a Ship Date. This is the day you plan to hand your inventory over to the carrier.

Why Ship Date Matters

Choosing your ship date isn’t just about scheduling, it can also affect the options Amazon provides for your shipment.

  • Placement options: Different ship dates may show different fulfillment centers or routing choices.

  • Costs: Shipping rates can vary depending on the ship date you select.

Always choose a realistic ship date based on when your inventory will actually be ready to ship. This helps you avoid delays and ensures that your placement options and costs are accurate.
