1st shipment; who is the best carrier for fba (snl) tnt, dpd, fedex?
Hello,
I am a UK FBM seller that is getting ready to send my first shipment to Amazon FBA and I want to verify who is the best carrier from A TO Z.
I want the carrier to pick it up from my home address and then for them to verify/track the FBA shipment arrives successfully at the AMAZON FBA (SNL) warehouse gate.
So do i need to create an account with any of delivery carriers or can i send one off parcels (depending who is the best price that month). so is there one anyone carrier anyone would avoid using aswell.
Thank you, for any help cheers Stu

When you book your shipment Amazon will offer you what couriers to use, I use UPS personally, which is Amazon preferred carrier, they pick up from my door (although you have to book this separately through them at no extra cost) and its fully tracked right to delivery, never had a problem with them.
I assume you have watched Seller University etc to see how to package and label your items correctly to send etc?

Ship using Amazon’s carriers. For Domestic it’s UPS. Create a UPS online retail account and then arrange pick up through your account.

Just checked again there.
Done my usual shipment, 14.9kg, 45 x 30 x 30 cm box. prices start from £6.22.
I decided to try 1kg at 10 x 10 x 10 cm and its still £6.22, I’m not sure if maybe you started sending before me and are on some special rate, or what the craic is. but there’s no way for me to post by UPS for less than £6.22. Still not a bad price, DHL and Parcelforce are quoting twice that.
