What should I be aware of for delivery of Beer, Wine & Spirits?

Listing a Beer, Wine or Spirit product requires that you ship the product with an Age Verification on Delivery (AVD) service and upload the tracking details for each product shipped to Seller Central.

1. When confirming orders one by one:
   
   1. Locate the order in Manage Orders and click Confirm Shipment.
   2. On the Confirm Dispatch page, enter the Ship Date, Delivery Method (including the carrier information), and the Tracking ID (supplied by the carrier).
   3. Enter any special notes about the order in the Seller memo field.
   4. Click Confirm Dispatch.
