Using Royal Mail OBA for SFP. Royal Mail services not showing on Buy Shipping
I use Royal Mail 2nd& 1st large letters and small parcels for our posters. We have recently rolled out SFP on our products and we are manually fulfilling everything at the moment. When doing shipping settings with automation we select Royal Mail as priority, have recently had OBA account approved and now have it linked and it says ACTIVE. Why when I buy shipping do i still see only Evri Options and on Royal Mail it says we have not registered for this service? Can Somebody help us Please?
Also if we use our linked C&D account to buy labels, does that still go towards the Buy Shipping Usage Rate on SFP?
Many thanks

Hahaha that is amazing. Thank you for all your help. Really appreciated. I’ve been going round in circles with this idea and the postage for weeks!

do you have tracked 24 set up on your OBA?
No for SFP you have to buy most of your postage (95% I think?) on Amazon directly

What’s the delivery date on these? Fri & Mon are bank holidays where RM are not working so Amazon are saying your other courier choices won’t make it on time for the delivery date. T24 is a 1-2 day service
Yeah but it goes against it… You may have your SFP eligibility suspended if you choose to do that but it is your call.

Now I’ve been told about RM tracked and I need a more expensive service for SFP, might be worth not using it and just moving certain lines to FBA

items under £12 ish are just not worth it

Move your popular stuff to FBA. We did it for the first time last year and our items started selling like hot cakes, we are putting some time aside this holiday to add even more because it makes life so much easier. Make sure you keep your items on FBM too because there can be quite a wait when sending stock into Amazon, plus if you sell out on FBA you should still get good sales on FBM.

Aaaah that’s what I was thinking, was thinking send the certain listings into FBA and then have MFN as other sellers at a lower price, if FBA sells out then we have MFN to back it up.
Is it just easy as relisting through FBA with the same ASIN?
Thanks mate

find the ASIN in your inventory and on the right hand side under the edit click the down arrow and chose ‘add another condition’ this creates a new sku for the same asin that you can set as an FBA offer
