You can manage FBA Shipments and send inventory to your FBA warehouses using Sellercloud. You can also use that inventory in multi-channel fulfillment and ship regular orders via FBA.

FBA Hazardous Material Policy refers to the rules and guidelines that merchants must adhere to when selling FBA products classified by the US Department of Transportation as Hazmat (hazardous materials). FBA sellers are required to identify and regulate such products that pose a potential risk to health, safety, property, or the environment, in order to sell them safely with Fulfilled By Amazon services.

Sellercloud’s FBA Planning feature links FBA items with the status “need-restocking” to the related purchase orders along with the processing information. When the items are then received from the vendor, they can be processed immediately for the related FBA shipments.

FBA product labels are 3x1-inch labels applied to each unit in the FBA program to help Amazon identify and track inventory. You can generate FBA labels directly from your Sellercloud account.

Sellercloud offers an FBA Reconciliation report that shows discrepancies between units that should be in FBA versus those that are currently in FBA. This report is generated using data from multiple Amazon reports, including All Orders, Returns, Reimbursements, and Removals.

FBA Removal Orders are requests for Amazon to ship back FBA inventory to the merchant. While the actual order must be placed on Seller Central, the removal order will automatically create a warehouse transfer in Sellercloud, which can be received when the shipment arrives at the merchant’s warehouse.

Sellers in Amazon’s Partnered Carriers Program can choose LTL shipping for their FBA inbound shipments. With LTL shipping, Amazon’s carriers pick up and deliver your shipment at fixed rates billed to Amazon, which are then passed on to sellers as inbound transportation costs in your Amazon settlement.

Amazon gives you the option to ship to FBA using their partnered carrier program (PCP). However, you can also ship using a non-partnered account, like FedEx, UPS, or another carrier of your choice.

Partially received or unreceived FBA shipments can occur for various reasons, including delays in Amazon's receiving process or items lost in transit. Discover effective strategies for handling these discrepancies between In-Transit units in Sellercloud and those received by Amazon.
