Can I deliver to Amazon?! or do I have to use a shipping company
Hello, I am about to send my first shipment to Amazon. As I have a van can I delivery it myself to save on shipping costs as my items are heavy in bulk?
TIA

Short answer - no you cant deliver yourself to Amazon. Use one of their preferred carriers who have pre-booked delivery slots.

As ShrewsburyMarine says, here you can review the relevant policy and learn more about FBA delivery requirements:

- We cannot accept packages that are handed in at the reception.
- Private domestic vehicles are not allowed to make deliveries to Amazon’s fulfilment centres. To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend that you use a reputable carrier company to deliver deliveries on your behalf.

Actually, you probably could if you really wanted to.
However, the requirements to do so are a little onerous to say the least for just the occasional shipment.
All of the approved carriers generally have slots booked in already, so the process is far simpler for them.
But generally the answer is a resounding NO!

As @NEil says you can but the requirements are slightly onerous:
- Shipment needs to go to the FC listed.
- You need to book a slot through Carrier Central and arrive within 30 mins of the appointment time. You’ll probably be given something like a Sunday 4am appointment.
- You need to ensure you have all the appropriate inbound paperwork, but I believe Carrier Central may assist with this, or at least give a clue as to what to provide.
- Your vehicle needs to be a transit or sprinter van or larger (no cars or car-derived vans etc)
- You need to have a high viz jacket and protective footwear (e.g. steel toe cap boots or similar)
