Help! I am brand new to selling, FBA label troubles

As the title says, I am brand new to selling on Amazon. I am attempting to have my product shipped directly from my supplier to the Amazon FBA facility. However, Amazon says I'll need to print labels to put on the boxes. What is the workaround for this? I listed the products with UPC numbers which Amazon then gave me an Amazon SKU number for. How do I get these packages shipped to Amazon? Do I have to work with the manufacturer overseas to have them print the labels and put them on the shipment, or am I missing something on the seller site itself?

Most of us long time sellers take possession of our products before sending them to FBA. We also choose to apply FNSKUs and not rely on UPCs for co-mingling inventory.

BUT if you have your heart set on shipping from your supplier (who I hope you've ordered from before a trust implicitly) , you'll need to send FBA box labels to your supplier for them to apply to the shipping boxes.

Hey there,

Some good information shared already, and I'll add an additional resource: to ensure your best chance at successfully sending your inventory, you'll want to make sure your manufacturerfollows the steps as they are laid out here in Seller Central Help pages.

That link details the step-by-step process, but also includes Seller University video links for each phase. I recommend reading, viewing, and relaying all of that pertinent information.
