1st pallet collection using partnered carrier...some advice please

I have a shipment arriving next month which I would like delivered direct into Amazon FBA. The shipping agent can deliver into Amazon for me but their fees are quiet high for this service (£102/pallet)

Is it possible for me to book the collection from the shipping agents’ UK warehouse using Amazon’s partnered carrier which I understand will be in the region of £60/pallet?

Providing it’s possible I’m wondering how this would work because when I arrange a small SPD collection using the partnered carrier program (UPS) they normally book a collection slot that is anytime between 9am-7pm.

The shipping agent has their own system of booking in collections so I’m wondering has anyone else tried this?

As long as you can guarantee that all units and pallets will have the correct labels on them before they are collected I do not see why not.

thanks - I was hoping to find out a bit more how it works when booking collections of pallets via the partnered carrier program

@NEil gets decent pallet prices without using UPS, I think UPS also need you to set up an account in advance of collection as well

But you have to do it anyway don’t you because you’ve already gone over the threshold even if you do change over…

Happy to be corrected though
