How to manifest with Amazon Buy Shipping
I disabled Amazon from my RM C&D account last November, in a strive for 100% VTR
I now use amazon buy shipping standard 2nd class and hand the orders over the PO counter
Seeing that RM48 is only 1p more than 2nd class (it used to be 6p) I’d like to go back to RM48 but still on buy shipping.
Is this the procedure:
order reports - end of day forms - download ?
Do I need to connect anything with anywhere prior?
Previously I used to let all the orders migrate over to my RM C&D account
I’m aware I’ll be doing 2 manifests a day, one for Amz and one for the other

theres no menaifest needed for 2nd class as you have prepaid for the labels
the manifest is for RM48 as its a pay on account service

There is no manifest, if you do not have your RM account linked.
Your basically just buying as if you bought online from RM etc.

You need to relink your account - settings - account info - buy delivery preferences - manage your carrier accounts - add RM
Then it takes about 24 hours to relink
You should then be able to buy RM48 again on amazon and manifest in the way you stated in your op
Just to note though, RM48 is only cheaper if you are vat registered

just to note that the RM48 prices have also gone up today - amazon must be slow in updating
the £1.04 to £1.06 hike was just the fuel surcharge increase 2 weeks ago
under 100g is now £1.14 inc
101g - 250g is now £1.56 inc

that’s interesting
Amazon must be indeed slow to update
it defo shows
88p + vat = £1.06 at the moment
probably update overnight
thanks again for all info above, depending on the value of the orders I may still decide to upgrade to RM48 on some

yes last time with the fuel surcharge increase they updated a day late

then you should already see RM48 in your options for postage

I do
I’ve accidently clicked on to it before, instead of 2nd class, so cancelled the label then raised a new order in C&D
I seem to remember last year now doing a Manifest and only RM48s appearing on it and not the 2nd class, for some reason

:yes, I noticed that on the address labels
so i’ve just done an early manifest as I’ve heard on here the Amazon ones can be delayed…
all present & correct
it’s mainly for the parcel RM48s I’d like a doorstep scan (when it happens)
thanks again

Amazon buy shipping has now updated & the difference is now 9p
(was only 1p yesterday)
for LLs under 100g
oddly, RM48 is 9p cheaper for 150g LLs than 2nd class

I believe that’s always been the case

good news for me, since I started offering a promotion a couple of weeks ago, I’m selling more of 2 items in one packet, 120g
something else I’ve noticed, since offering a promotion, I’m selling alot more single items, which obvs don’t get any discount, but I’m supposing as they are part of an offer, they perhaps get higher exposure in a listing, would this be correct?

I have to produce a manifest every day for royal mail items via buy shipping.
Orders/Order reports/end of day forms/ then request.
