Send inventory to Amazon

• Send to Amazon: A streamlined workflow for small parcel shipments and pallet shipments packed in single-SKU boxes that are shipped using either an Amazon partnered carrier or a non-partnered carrier. Send to Amazon lets you create reusable packing templates to save box content information along with prep and labelling selections for your SKUs. This saves you time on each replenishment.
• Send/replenish inventory to Amazon: This shipment creation workflow is for shipments of boxes that contain more than one SKU. For all other types of shipments, try using Send to Amazon, a streamlined workflow with fewer steps to replenish inventory.

• Packaging and prep requirements: Avoid delays, unplanned service fees and penalties by adhering to Amazon’s packaging and prep requirements.
• Use an Amazon barcode to track inventory: Each unit you send to a fulfilment centre requires a barcode so it can be tracked throughout the fulfilment process. Products that do not use a manufacturer barcode for tracking require an Amazon barcode.

The Pan-European FBA program allows you to fulfil offers in all European marketplaces from one inventory pool without incurring per-unit cross-border fulfilment fees for the European Fulfilment Network. Amazon will distribute your inventory across the European Fulfilment Network at no additional cost. You can track your Pan-European FBA offers using all standard reports and tools in Seller Central.

Pan-European FBA will become active for a product only after you create an active FBA offer in all the Amazon European marketplaces listed as required on the Pan-European FBA Inventory page in your Selling on Amazon account.
