Shipping Pallet(s) without any Boxes
Hi, I’m planning to ship laundry washing powder in 5kg plastic buckets.
These aren’t in any boxes, just stacked on top of each other.
When I’m making the shipment I still have to select if all of the SKU’s are in one or multiple boxes.
Then I need to print one or multiple box-stickers.
How should I proceed when my shipment has no boxes?
The pallet has 80-90 buckets of this washing powder, so printing 80-90 stickers to them seems dumb and looks dumb to the customer.
Any ideas?
The all so helpful customer support from India just copypasted the Amazon shipping guidelines, so I’ve tried that too.

Are you planning on selling these individually or as a bulk lot of 80-90?
If individually then of course they each need a label, and if it is a bulk lot where each purchaser would be buying 80 cartons then all 80 would need to be packaged together, although I can’t imagine that being happily received at FBA.

And if individual, will each bucket withstand the rigours of shipments without the protection of a carton or similar?

Please read this answer:
It seems that we won’t be needing box-labels at all in our pallet!?

@Lindsey Is the above true?
I can send my pallet filled with 5kg washing powder packages without having to break down the clear-wrap and put those box labels to each of the 5kg packages?

Thanks Adrian.
Can @Soizic or @Alex confirm if the above what Lindsey has said years ago still count?

We regularly book in pallet deliveries of less than a truck load selecting “Less than Truckload (LTL)
I’m shipping pallets”
It’s easier to label the packets / boxes your self and book a pallet delivery in , make sure the Amazon Reference ID is shown on the booking in documents not just the FBA reference, be aware you have to click “Complete Shipment” then click “Complete shipment” wait for approx 15mins when you go back into the FBA booking the Amazon Reference ID will be shown. Amazon are not acceptting liability now for any short deliveries or missing items without this reference ID being provided, previously this wasn’t the case
