Two colours in one box
Hi, I am sending in two different colour of the same product which are small and light, 25 of each colour as I’m new to fba I got 2 different shipping labels, how ever my manufacturer has emailed me today saying as the cases are small and light weight 1.5kg each Amzon is charging them an extra fee (45usd for each case so 90usd in total) but if they have both colours in one carton it would be cheaper (1 x 45 usd). What I’m confused with is I created 1 shipping plan and got 2 shipping labels again meaning 2 cases can I put both these cases in to one larger case? And do I use both the shipping labels on the master carton? But then I’m assuming Amazon would want the dimensions for the master carton? Can someone please help with this ?

You would need to create a new shipping plan shipping all of your units into one box. You would then have 1 box label which you can forward to your supplier.
You would have to cancel your existing shipping plan as well.

Further to this, make sure the outer box your manufacturer ships them in doesn't have any product labels on the outside.

Thank you so much for your reply, I guess first things first I’ll delete the shipping plan and try do it again, I must have done something wrong before, because when I added the two different gs1 barcode numbers for the different colours, I ended up with 2 separate listings 🤦🏻♀️

regarding the outer box it will be 2 smaller cardboard boxes separating the 2 colours put into one slightly larger brown box or can I get them to pack only the products both colours directly in to one box?

If the manufacturer is applying the labels for them and each item is being labelled individually, then they can all be mixed into the one box and it's fine.
If you're using Amazon's labelling service, then I'm not sure how that works so can't advise, sorry.

we have added a GS1 barcode on the packaging so we have 2 separate barcodes for both colours.

As long as the relevant barcode is on each separate product and nowhere on the box, you're OK toput them all in one box.
