Amend Shipping Destinations
Hello,
Does anyone know if when confirming the FBA shipment there is the option to change or specify the fulfilment centres to ship to?
Thanks,
Malcolm

No, Amazon decide which centres the products are being sent to.
There is/was an option for specifying a single centre, but it you had to pay extra to use it.
It’s called something like inventory placement.

No. Each time you create a shipment the destination(s) is chosen by Amazon based on their capacity and what is being sent. Historically if a seller had a strong preference they may try remaking the shipment to see if a different destination is chosen. Whilst that used to be successful sometimes, there are good reasons for not doing that these days.
Whilst there is a paid for service which can offer a single destination for eligible items, it is still Amazon who choose the destination. Amazon do offer “box level inventory placement” for eligible shipments which allows a seller to send all boxes to one destination and then Amazon take care of forwarding them to other destinations, but again they are all chosen by Amazon.

It’s like a lucky dip. If I don’t want it going somewhere, normally due to price of pallet shipping, I just cancel it and try add a different item, or try later.

Thanks for your help all, do you know if we can use box level inventory placement if Amazon are doing the labelling?
We only intend on labelling the pallets before shipping.
Also does anyone know where we can get a list of all the UK FBA delivery locations?

Just to add - making the presumption that you are THE Weetabix ltd, double check that the EANs on the listings are correct before sending stock for amazon to label
Many sellers over the years will add listings with no or incorrect EANs on the ASINs and if you are adding your offer, it may not be the correct listing
