We use SPD Partnered (UPS Ground) and have noticed that 3-4 fulfillment centers have a "different" address than the actual fulfillment center. One is for Yonkers NY, so I suspect there's something to do with the size of trucks allowed to traverse the roads near the FC. Off the top of my head there's also a NJ and Vegas location that do the same thing.
Anyone nearby these locations who can confirm or deny?

I am having the same issue. Did you go ahead with this shipment? Did you have any issues?

Good afternoon @Seller_HYuJkrzj2wvvI,
I wanted to follow up on this thread with some additional information regarding ORF2.
A new address is required if you use UPS to ship small parcels to the ORF2 fulfillment center in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Due to limitations in their network operations, UPS can’t process large shipment volumes with labels addressed to the physical address of our ORF2 fulfillment center. To mitigate the issue, we’ve partnered with UPS to re-route freight by addressing shipments to a nearby, alternate UPS facility.
If you use a partnered carrier and print labels in Seller Central, we’ll automatically generate shipping labels with the correct, alternate address.
If you arrange your own shipping with UPS, you must print labels with the alternate address. You can continue to use the physical address for ORF2 when shipping with other carriers.
For more information, please refer to this page. If you have any follow-up questions, please reply to me here!

Hi! I am having the same issue with ORF2, My shipment plan was spread for 5 locations and one is ORF2 in which I'm having the same alert as stated above. How to change or create an alternate address? Would this mean I cannot proceed with the shipment for ORF2?
Thanks.

Are you arranging your shipping with UPS or using a partnered carrier (with the labels automatically generated the correct address?

Hello! I have the same message from Amazon. I am shipping with UPS (non-partnered carrier), and the message is this
Important: Alternate ship to address required for UPS shipments to RMN3
To avoid possible disruptions, the following ship to address must be used for small-parcel shipments via UPS that are sent to the RMN3 fulfillment center:
RMN3 via UPS Middletown, 2112 N Union Street Middletown, PA 17057
On the label, the different address is generated.
What should I do??

Greetings, thanks for the reply. When printing the label are you unable to generate to "RMN3 via UPS Middletown, 2112 N Union Street Middletown, PA 17057"?
