Ship from this address?
I have a UK seller account and I’m in the process of trying to organise my first shipment to amazon and it asks to enter a “ship from this address” address. I’ve read that this can’t be my suppliers address, which is in the UK and I don’t have a storage facility so what do I enter? When I’ve read and watched videos in the seller university it Implies that I/you/we send shipments to an Amazon facility, now I’m under the impression that amazon picks up the shipment. I’m confused. Or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated thank you.

ship from address ,unless your wholesaler/supplier uses or is prepared to use UPS (amazon preferred carrier), it would be your address or if alternatively you have somewhere else other than your house to pick up from, tip, you can book a same Amazon collection if booked before 12 lunchtime, 2nd tip create a account with ups and put in your email address and when you book the shipment you get a email confirmation in case you have to chase UPS up, DPD have quoted me more than UPS to ship into Amazon UK FC’s though, but they are still trying to get my business, the rate i was given DPD for UK was £4.20 first parcel, and £3:60 every parcel thereafter for a 60 by 60 by 60 cm up to 30 kg into Amazon UK (any depot) not any good currently as 15 kg max into FC’s
hope this shed light on it for you

Thanks for the reply, it sheds some light yes. However if my supplier is prepared to use or uses UPS what do I enter in the “ship from this address” field if my supplier can send it strait to an Amazon FC. Or does amazon prefer not to operate in this way. I could potentially take the order at my address as they are not big items although I would obviously prefer not to, is it better do this if possible?

Thanks so much this is a big help, at the moment my supplier is not accepting collections due to the current situation but can deliver for free was hoping it would be ok for them to send to amazon but I can work something out for now. Thanks again.
