Shipping Candies to be sold as Bundles to Amazon FBA
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me here. I am planning to ship my items to Amazon warehouse for FBA. These are different candies and chocolates that will be sold as bundles. All items that make up the bundle come in a wholesalers cases so Amazon will pick and pack from the cases to ship as bundle to customers.
To my questions:
1, do I ship the various items in the manufacturers cases to Amazon to pick and pack into my mailer boxes which will also be shipped to Amazon warehouse and pay Amazon for the service?
- How do I create shipment for my brand’s mailer boxes to be sent to Amazon in which the bundled item go into before Amazon puts it in their own brown logo box?
Advice from experienced FBA sellers will be appreciated.
Thank you

Amazon will not pick seperate items and bundle them together for you Your items may well go into different FBA warehouses anyway… Also they only accept chocolates and heat sensitive stuff at certain times of the year. You also need special permission to sell in this category. You cannot send in your own boxes for Amazon to use for your stuff.
Have you read up on Seller University in Amazon Help section? Especially for FBA.
Are you fully verified??
Honestly you need to learn how Amazon works - read Seller University.

You must bundle them yourself - that is not something Amazon do.
More importantly, FBA is likely not the best option, see below:

No, they won’t.
You have to send in your goods exactly as they are to be sent out - already bundled. Amazon will not do this for you.
