Our freight company has told me that my order is supposed to be delivered to Amazon UK LBA4.
Due to LBA4 is busy, Amazon informed our freight partner to redirect the cargo to LTN7, does it affect the inventory update time? Does Amazon will finally internally move my cargoes to LBA4 from LTN7?
Hi, I am letting people know that Amazon have changed their policy on Royal mail 2D Bar codes i.e Royal Mail scanned on delivery. Sometime ago I raised this with Amazon that all our packages have "valid tracking" but Royal mail only scan about 80% and was told not to worry as Amazon are aware and will disregard if when needed we provide valid tracking proof. ie we sent them copies of the delivery label. Well that has changed. Last Friday some listings were deactivated and I had to provide the appeal which I did as usual, but this time it was turned down After a long conversation the result was we either change to a different post method (which would add about £1.00 to the cost and on cheap items that is a big percentage) or buy the same service from Amazon!
I am uncertain what the motive behind this is, to be competitive we will need to buy postage from Amazon? What I tried to explain is that as far as the customer is concerned there will be no improvement Royal mail will continue to fail scanning packages. In addition as we use 3rd party software to process all orders, will it be more difficult? Will Amazon then get details of my orders from Ebay and our own website? I think this stinks and anyone using Royal Mail 24 / 48 (CRL) should take note. Short term we will change to Royal Mail Tracked and accept less orders, longer terms we may have to buy shipping from Amazon, but before we do we need to consider the pros and cons

Thank you for letting us know, as i do still use this on the odd occasion!
Just a shoutout to you, depending on your volume, of course, we got Royal Mail Tracked rates cheaper than RM 24/48 CRL, I would give ask to get some rates from your Account manager.

I think we have to face different issues; one is the bots that change category, and then you have a set of candles under sports - golf etc. The other issues is sellers who create listings without thinking. My favourite has to be those that copy the text of the wholesaler's product page including things like:
"this wholesale product comes in a cartoon of 24 units",
"check our website for other similar products that your customers will love"
"EAN 52098900938942"
"Thinking of visiting our showroom? Drop us a line and you will get a 10% discount"
"assorted colours and sizes in each cartoon"
"This Purchase is 24 Units "
"RRP £24.99"
We always have to be careful where we list our offers as the risk of having returns is very high if there is misleading information, some customers also try it on at the first occasion. I am expecting a A-Z any minute now as a customer complained that she got only one pack when in the listing there is a photo with three packs. The title and description are ok this time, they clearly state it's ONE pack but still.. I told her to return it if not happy but she wanted a refund and keep the item
Hi, I am a new seller with my own branded garments and have tried to set up my new Amazon store but it is beyond confusing! I already have an ebay store which is so simple to add products to but the amount of information required on Amazon is beyond my capabilities and patience. I am confused by the product codes etc and it keeps telling me to fix errors (54!). I couldn't find the 54 errors so gave up and saved as a draft but when I went back to check, the draft wasn't there.
Are there any professionals out there who can set up or build my store? At this point I would be willing to pay someone to do it for me. I will be selling a range of my own branded mens briefs in a range of 9 plain colours and 5 sizes as well as a range with 7 different patterns in 5 sizes.

Amazon have changed their policy on Royal Mail 2D Barcodes (Royal Mail scanned on delivery). Previously, Amazon accepted our valid tracking proof, as Amazon accepted and knew Royal Mail only scan about 80% of packages. However, this has changed. 100% of our orders are sent with VTR, and we only used "scanned on delivery" on very low priced items where it needs to be more competitive
Last Friday, some of our listings were deactivated. When I appealed, it was rejected. After discussing with Amazon, our options are to switch to a different postal method (more expensive) or buy postage from Amazon.
This means we're being forced to buy postage from Amazon to stay competitive, with no real improvement in delivery scans from Royal Mail. Additionally, using our 3rd party software to process orders might become more complicated. Will Amazon access details from eBay and our website orders?
I think this policy change is unfair, and anyone using Royal Mail 24/48 (CRL) should be aware.
