Finally!! Every video I have watched starts with product already in place. I finally learned from the very beginning. I feel like I can actually move forward now. Really appreciate your time and video.
SO HELPFUL! I am so relieved I found this gem of a video. No other video has explained everything regarding this process as clear and to the point than this. So happy! Thank you!
Mahalo for this video. Recently just lost my mom & pop shop due to all the shut downs and loss of tourism here in Hawai’i. Trying to find new ways to survive and I can NOT express how much this video helps and lessens the anxiety of failure. Mahalo Mahalo MAHALO to you.
Mahalo! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad to hear that you found value in the content and that you found it helpful. Sometimes facing adversity is what one needs to become more successful. Keep your chin up and keep hustling! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
i have to say , i spent money on a course to learn those things but you teach us much more better and step by step . every time i have a question i come to your channel . thanks and keep up the good work :)
I’m about to ship my first domestic units for FBA and will have them going straight from my supplier on the next order. I already know this video saved me a lot of trouble already.
Thank you, Kao. This is the best video on how to do the shipping plan that I found on RUclips. Having short clips of what an user should actually do was very helpful.🔝
Your channel is far and away the best and most detailed that i have found so far in how to tackle all of these little details. Have kept me from majorly messing up. I appreciate it!
Thank you so much! It is a really stressful process when you you do it at first time but with your videos I did it really fast. You explain everything very clearly

@@CrescentKao Thanks Kao. It seems Amazon makes everything so complicated with basically zero support, so having people like you walk us through these challenges is a really big help! I'm setting up my branded non upc product right now and I've had to send about 5 support requests, and each response I receive doesn't fix the problem, but makes me dig even deeper into the mire. End hopefully soon in sight... lol. I'll definitely watch your suggested video.
I dont know what I would have done without your videos! thank you!! I do have more questions to what step I need to take next. I have a supplier and product but what do I do next? 1 buy barcode 2 make a listing 3 create a shipping plan 4 give the supplier barcode 5 have supplier ship the products and start selling? is that the right process? where and when do I put barcode on sellers central?
Thanks for explaining topic very clearly. Will appreciate if you can share your experience how I can select good inspector to dispatch then to supplier's warehouse. Thanks
I like all of your videos. It's all are details and so much helpful for the new in this Amazon business. I have a question that- if I have variation product like size or color and my supplier do the mix-up the products packaging how can put the information.
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad you find value in the content. I'm not sure I understand your question, can you rephrase it? The correct barcodes and labels need to go on the corresponding variations.
Thank you for this! super helpful and i must say your videos are the most helpful when it comes to amazon sales! In regards to creating the shipping plan, I have chosen case packed for my first product, in the section where i need to enter box size and weight, i have entered the shipping box size/weight not the individual units sizes/weights. Amazon put my shipment under Oversize, even though my individual units aren't (unit packaging box 4"*4.7"*9") and each unit weighs 0.7kgs - Should i have put the unit dimension/weights instead of the shipping box info in that section instead?
Hello Crescent, I sincerely appreciate your videos. Surely one of the best and easier to digest. The minimum I can do is to like every video I watch! You have answered almost all the questions that one can think of in just one video. I do want to know if I should watch out for any specific thing when hiring Chinese freight forwarders I found on Alibaba. I am applying the similar criteria such as trade insurance, 5 starts, # of transactions and value of transactions, etc. They seem to be more cost effective.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback and support, I appreciate it! When dealing with any business or service, always contact them, ask them questions, get referrals if you can and trust your gut. In end always pay using a method where you have payment protection of some sort.
The entire shipping industry and Amazon's shipment processing is massively delayed nowadays. You can expect Amazon to process your inbound shipment in a few days to a few weeks. Here's an updated video on this: ruclips.net/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/видео.html
Great video! I am looking to just get the Amazon shipping label to send to my supplier so they can put it on the master cartons. Can I just get these shipping labels without creating the UPS label for SPD? Since I have no idea when I will ship the boxes to Amazon's warehouse, I don't want to create the UPS labels yet.
I'm glad you found value in the content! If you're shipping from overseas, you can't choose the Amazon Partnered Carrier program where you'd be printing the carrier (UPS, fedex) shipping labels. If you're not choosing the Partnered Carrier program, it doesn't matter which carrier you choose, its for you own reference only. You don't get the shipping carrier labels from the shipping plan, you get them from the shipping carrier like UPS or Fedex. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Hello Crescent, Im debating between Vtrust, Qima, Sofeast or HKQCC. Have you used any of these or which one of these can you recommend? Great info Thank you
Very helpful video! I want to ask a question that if the supplier is not shipping our products to the Amazon warehouse, then how can we hire a freight forwarder?
Great explanation. Quick question. I have 83 boxes going to shipped. 498 units. Dimensions is 40*30*45 and 7.5 kg weight. But whenever I put 83 as a total boxes. Amazon keep showing me the oversized error ?
Very informative and Helpful, Sir Crescent. And I have a question that If I have 2 color variations and 500 units for each color so, Should I create one by one shipping plan for them?
You're amazing, Crescent! I'm super new to this and have found your tips helpful. I have a question. Do I need 2 shipping plans and 2 different FNSKU's if I'm planning to sell 500 units of 1 product but in 2 different colors (250 brown and 250 black)? But also let me back up, in order to create 2 shipping plans, I need 2 product listings (right?) Do those product listings have to be identical? Or should I distinguish it by adding the color? I've been trying to find a solution for hours. I hope you've got the winning answer. Thanks for what you provide to the community!
Hello! Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it, I'm glad you're finding value in the content! No, you can send all your different SKU's in one shipping plan. You can create separate ones if you want.
Thank you sir for the amazing tutorial! I love It. I have a question, can I keep my old barcode (Im doing retail arbitrage so I buy from places like Walmart which there is barcodes on them already) and then just apply the new one? Or should I hide the old barcode and then apply the new one for the product?
This video is really helpful. The only thing I am worried about is packaging type. So I got 1 product which has diffrent size and colour, do I have to choose individual or case pack. Hope I will get reply sir.
Thank you for this video. Instead of ordering samples and inspecting them myself, do I hire an inspection team to do it at my supplier's wharehouse|? How does this work?
Hello Sir…Great information. I have a question for you…I have purchased GS1 barcodes for my private labeled products. Can I use my GS1 barcodes instead of Amazon FNSKU numbers for my products?
Hello! I'm glad you found value in the content! Yes, you have to use a UPC barcode in order to create a listing, however I don't recommend using the UPC on your products, use the FNSKU. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
Hi There , I'm a new salesperson PL. Recently subscribed to your channel and you are doing great. Naturally, I have a lot of questions😃😃😃. I created a listing with 4 colors and 2 shapes (square and oval), so there are 8 variations of 1 product. Each product is 125 pieces, the total number of products is 1000 pieces, and 20 pieces are placed on large boxes. So I have 5 pieces of the product left from each option, I want the remaining 5 pieces of options to be combined into 1 box, and I will have 2 such mixed boxes. The question is how should I build a shipping plan?
Hello! I'm glad you're finding value in the content! I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to do however, each unit needs to be prepackaged with all of the parts in one package so that it is ready to sell. Amazon will not assemble your pieces together for you. Then you can just choose Individually Packed to ship your variations in the same shipping carton as described in the video. Here's an updated video on this: ruclips.net/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/видео.html
Once you start a shipping plan at the point of entering details for each box. We have a large number of boxes and I was wondering if we can save and continue later if we need to take a break?
Hello We create a shipping plan as soon as the manufacturer finishes production, correct? Otherwise we don't know how many boxes or weights they end up with at the end of production... Also aren't the labels generated only after the shipping plan is done, so the supplier has to take everything out of the boxes after weighing to put the labels on?
Hello. You create the shipping plan after or if the supplier has the shipment details ahead of time, you can create it early. The shipping labels go on the shipping cartons, not the product: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
@@CrescentKao thanks!!! yes I know shipping labels go on the box I meant the labels generated by amazon for each individual unit. The supplier has to remove each unit after weighing the shipping box to put on the barcode labels Amazon generates on each unit? We have to enter weight, dimensions of the shipment first before Amazon will generate the individual unit labels, right? That makes me think that the supplier has to backtrack and take everything out of the box to label everything, correct me if I'm wrong? (Please)
Something not clear (or not covered): TWO products - one shipment. TWO FNSKU's - same number of boxes for each sku - slightly different size boxes - same number of items in each box for each SKU. Here's the question: Is this ONE shipping plan? If so HOW was not covered. If this is two plans - can I simply finish the first, then go to TRACK and select Duplicate and make the changes and then save that as second plan?
If you're shipping multiple sku's, just select the checkbox next to each SKU in the Manage Inventory page and then choose Send/Replenish Inventory from the drop down menu at the top. Or just create two shipping plans.
Awesome video! 👍👍👍👍Crescent,quick question,regarding shipping service,if my products total are over 150lb,should I choose LTL(less than truckload) instead of SPD? I know u mentioned SPD,which should I choose?thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you found value in it! If your shipment doesn’t meet the SPD requirements then you’ll have to ship it by LTL. The carriers won’t accept it if it’s too big or too heavy or they’ll charge you insane overage fees.
Fab video - very clear and very helpful - thank you! Can I ask what insurance you would recommend please? We're in the UK and going to be trading in the US so I suppose we should get an American insurance company. Also, with regards to the product inspection...if the supplier does a product inspection, would they facetime us to show us the product or do we just trust them that it has actually been done? I suppose it worries me because they would, potentially, be less willing to actually find any flaws with the product as any replacements would be their responsibility and therefore, at their cost. Would be great to know your thoughts :) Many thanks, again, Sophia
Hi crescent! Nice and informative videos. I just want to ask, does the Ship From address in the shipping plan needs to be your supplier's address in China if you are shipping directly from them?
I'm glad you found value in the content! It doesn't matter what you put in the From field. You can put your suppliers, your own or your freight forwarders. I normally just put my suppliers address.
thank you but I had a questions, so before I order my products need to listing and make shipping plan so how we know that all information about my products like box size number of case the unit of number image from my products how to communicate with supplier if its before order my products should be listing and ship plan
You're welcome. Your supplier will have the shipment details. You don't need to create a shipping plan until you're ready to send in your inventory. Creating a shipping plan is separate from creating a listing. I suggest watching this video, it goes over everything step by step: ruclips.net/video/fLdPcTVkQz8/видео.html
hi... I have two items in one box....it's a bundled item with one FNSKU. There will be 500 units of that FNSKU in silver and another 500 units of another FNSKU in another color. Shouldn't I select Case packed for this?
No. All the cases must be exactly the same if you choose Case Packed. Always choose Individually packed even if you are doing case packed, it makes no difference like I said in the video.
Hi Crescent. Ron here. Great Video once again ! Thank You. I have hired an outsourcing agent for my products. Can the FNSKU labels be printed before I create a shipping plan or do I need to create the shipping plan first ?
great content Crescent..question....if my local supplier takes care of the shipping for me through their own provider, how is this specified in the shipping plan?
I'm glad you found it helpful. Amazon doesn't care who the carrier is. The shipping plan is simply to let amazon know what and who the inbound shipments belong to when they arrive at the warehouse. Here's and updated video on this: ruclips.net/video/S_oNiDvgxQs/видео.html
Great video! How I wish I watched this before doing my shipping plan. I made a mistake of choosing amazon carrier partner although my FF will deliver my products from overseas to designated address. Unfortunately, I realized this over a month after approving and after embarking my products on the ship. My concern now is, will there be any problem using the same carton labels? I reckon it has carrier info too. Another strange thing is, shipping status showed "delivered" and this was even before the products were shipped.
@@CrescentKao Thanks. Unfortunately, my products are already shipped waiting to arrive in US. The Support guy wasn't very reassuring but told me, the label, though was for partner carrier, will help them identify the products, regardless. What's your take on this?
Thanks for the tips crescent. Please, just 2 questions: 1. Is there a penalty or punishment from Amazon when you create a listing and do not ship any inventory for a long while (say 2 - 3 weeks). Reason for the question is that, the FNSKU label has to be obtained in advance so that the package designer can include the bar code on the product (or the supplier - if i don't want to embed on the package) 2. Is it preferable for the FNSKU bar code to be embedded on the product package when it is being designed or attached as a sticker by the supplier?
You’re welcome! 1) No. It doesn’t matter if you use the shipping plan or not. You can leave it or delete it, it doesn’t matter. You don’t need to create a shipping plan to get the FNSKU. You can click the Edit drop down menu on the Manage Inventory page and print them there. 2) you can print or sticker the barcode on the unit. It’s up to you. Printed may be cheaper if you’re already doing a custom package design. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/lcGHgplGkbY/видео.html
@@CrescentKao Ohh thanks. I actually meant... would Amazon penalize me if I created a new listing now for a new product that would not be available for sales until after 3 weeks (i.e production of the products would be after 3 weeks). Thanks.
Quick question can i create one shipment for products from two suppliers? Whom should i type in "Ship from" ? The one with more packets, or create for each another shipment plan?
It doesn't matter what the from address is, you can put whatever you want. It doesn't matter if they're from one or more suppliers as long as the labels are affixed to the correct cartons. You can create a single shipping or multiple if you want.
The process is the same regardless of where you live or where you are shipping from. This goes over the shipping process: ruclips.net/video/_suEbhpvamE/видео.html This goes over the entire Amazon process: ruclips.net/video/fLdPcTVkQz8/видео.html Here’s an updated video on creating a shipping plan: ruclips.net/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/видео.html
Hello, thank you for you very detailed and informative explanation. Can you please advise where and how I can get an inspector to view the products at my supplier's factory?
Thank you very much Crescent, the content is very good. I block to register online my brand in the USA (USPTO) my brand I want it generic in order to create my Amazon store with multi category. My problem is that I don't know in which category (goods services) save it? Thanks for your help. (I did not find a tutorial on the subject on the web, maybe an idea for you because I must not be the only one in this case
You’re welcome! I suggest using the IP Accelerator program to register your brand, otherwise you have to wait 6-9 months to get access to Brand Registry. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/2VBGR2JpZ1A/видео.html
I’m glad you found it helpful! This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/NqTsTFKP7tA/видео.html I suggest watching this also: ruclips.net/video/fLdPcTVkQz8/видео.html
How to create variations shipping plan in one single case. ,I have 3 sizes and i need to ship 2 units of each size in case .total 6units in one case how can i creat shipping plan
Just select all the ASINs you want to include in the Manage Inventory page and then select Send Replenish Inventory from the drop down menu at the top.
As a small independent book publisher / seller, how would I offer a 'strike-through' price - i.e. where the MSRP price is discounted on Amazon - like the big publishers do? Essentially I want to let customers know they are getting a good deal on them, by showing the original MSRP that is 'striked through' (using a seller central account just like the rest of FBA sellers, here)
I am still confused on if I have to have my product individually packed inside of the cartons from my supplier or will Amazon separate each unit once orders go out?
Hello Crescent, as always wonderful video. thanks for sharing your knowledge with others. One question. To import foods into USA from china do you need EIN number? In Freigtos website while booking for shipment there is section where we have to declare if we are foreigh importer and expect to have EIN number.
Hello, I'm glad you're finding value in the content. It doesn't matter what you're importing into the US, you need a federal tax ID, whether that's your SSN or EIN.
What about the inspection, if the first test batch is not large, about 200 pieces, and not for a large amount, then hiring an inspector, even $ 150, turns out to be quite a lot for the cost of the goods. Anyway, should I hire and do an inspection?
Hi Crescent, another question. By the way my first shipment just arrived amazon warehouse , wanted to ask what to do in order to start selling. And also, must i do PPC?
If the carton size is bigger than the SPD size 25 inches,or heavier than the 50 Lb weight limit is the next option LTL and can the Amazon preferred carrier still be used?
The partnered carrier program is available for all domestic shipments. If you create a shipping plan, you can see that option is available for SPD and LTL.
If a shipment was sent to Amazon as a small parcel delivery and it is arriving as LTL, what would be the repercussions? Am I able to fix this in the shipping plan?
The first time you might get a stern warning and told not to do it again if you keep messing up the inbound shipments, you’ll start to get penalized fines or get your selling privileges revoked altogether.
I am new to Amazon and have not one yet the 1st shipment. Wondering how to get the inspection company at China for the shipment from Chinese manufacturer. How to know the inspection company is reliable and have good track record.
I have another question, when i choose the amazon partened carrier. Does that mean someone will come to my house and pick the products and put it in one of the fullfilment centre?

I like all of your videos. It's all are details and so much helpful for the new in this Amazon business. I have a question that- if I have variation product like size or color and my supplier do the mix-up the products packaging how can put the information.
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! I'm glad you find value in the content. I'm not sure I understand your question, can you rephrase it? The correct barcodes and labels need to go on the corresponding variations.
Thank you for this! super helpful and i must say your videos are the most helpful when it comes to amazon sales! In regards to creating the shipping plan, I have chosen case packed for my first product, in the section where i need to enter box size and weight, i have entered the shipping box size/weight not the individual units sizes/weights. Amazon put my shipment under Oversize, even though my individual units aren't (unit packaging box 4"*4.7"*9") and each unit weighs 0.7kgs - Should i have put the unit dimension/weights instead of the shipping box info in that section instead?
You're welcome! This updated video goes over it: ruclips.net/video/S_oNiDvgxQs/видео.html
Hello Crescent, I sincerely appreciate your videos. Surely one of the best and easier to digest. The minimum I can do is to like every video I watch!
You have answered almost all the questions that one can think of in just one video.
I do want to know if I should watch out for any specific thing when hiring Chinese freight forwarders I found on Alibaba. I am applying the similar criteria such as trade insurance, 5 starts, # of transactions and value of transactions, etc. They seem to be more cost effective.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback and support, I appreciate it! When dealing with any business or service, always contact them, ask them questions, get referrals if you can and trust your gut. In end always pay using a method where you have payment protection of some sort.
can you explain shipping plan more, please? for example: how amazon manages the recieve time for seller shipping?
The entire shipping industry and Amazon's shipment processing is massively delayed nowadays. You can expect Amazon to process your inbound shipment in a few days to a few weeks. Here's an updated video on this: ruclips.net/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/видео.html
More than value than my paid course of $5K. I am so broke after buying this course for 5K.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I'm glad that you found value in my content and I appreciate your input and feedback, thanks! Keep hustling!
Hey Crescent do you have a video explaining what to do when you want to combine 2 products from 2 suppliers? Thanks really appreciate your videos.
Hello. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/niix7G20YPQ/видео.html
Great video! I am looking to just get the Amazon shipping label to send to my supplier so they can put it on the master cartons. Can I just get these shipping labels without creating the UPS label for SPD? Since I have no idea when I will ship the boxes to Amazon's warehouse, I don't want to create the UPS labels yet.
I'm glad you found value in the content! If you're shipping from overseas, you can't choose the Amazon Partnered Carrier program where you'd be printing the carrier (UPS, fedex) shipping labels. If you're not choosing the Partnered Carrier program, it doesn't matter which carrier you choose, its for you own reference only. You don't get the shipping carrier labels from the shipping plan, you get them from the shipping carrier like UPS or Fedex. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Hello Crescent, Im debating between Vtrust, Qima, Sofeast or HKQCC. Have you used any of these or which one of these can you recommend? Great info Thank you
Hello. Give Brendon or Sajag a shout at movley.com tell them I sent you.
@@CrescentKao Ok Thank you
Very helpful video! I want to ask a question that if the supplier is not shipping our products to the Amazon warehouse, then how can we hire a freight forwarder?
I’m glad you found it helpful! This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/_suEbhpvamE/видео.html
Great explanation. Quick question. I have 83 boxes going to shipped. 498 units. Dimensions is 40*30*45 and 7.5 kg weight. But whenever I put 83 as a total boxes. Amazon keep showing me the oversized error ?
I'm glad you found value in the content! The longest side must be 25" or less: sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/G200141510?language=en_US
Very informative and Helpful, Sir Crescent. And I have a question that If I have 2 color variations and 500 units for each color so, Should I create one by one shipping plan for them?
I'm glad you found it helpful! You can create a single shipping plan for all the SKU's you want to ship or create separate ones, its up to you.
You're amazing, Crescent! I'm super new to this and have found your tips helpful. I have a question. Do I need 2 shipping plans and 2 different FNSKU's if I'm planning to sell 500 units of 1 product but in 2 different colors (250 brown and 250 black)?
But also let me back up, in order to create 2 shipping plans, I need 2 product listings (right?) Do those product listings have to be identical? Or should I distinguish it by adding the color?
I've been trying to find a solution for hours. I hope you've got the winning answer. Thanks for what you provide to the community!
Hello! Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it, I'm glad you're finding value in the content! No, you can send all your different SKU's in one shipping plan. You can create separate ones if you want.
Thank you sir for the amazing tutorial! I love It.
I have a question, can I keep my old barcode (Im doing retail arbitrage so I buy from places like Walmart which there is barcodes on them already) and then just apply the new one? Or should I hide the old barcode and then apply the new one for the product?
You’re welcome! Each unit can only have one barcode visible. Cover the existing UPC with the FNSKU barcode: ruclips.net/video/tdJqj7tEjdM/видео.html
This video is really helpful. The only thing I am worried about is packaging type. So I got 1 product which has diffrent size and colour, do I have to choose individual or case pack.
Hope I will get reply sir.
I’m glad you found it helpful. It doesn’t matter if you’re sending one SKU or multiple SKU’s m, always choose individually packed.
Thank you for this video. Instead of ordering samples and inspecting them myself, do I hire an inspection team to do it at my supplier's wharehouse|? How does this work?
You’re welcome! Yes, hire a 3rd party inspection service. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/NqTsTFKP7tA/видео.html
@@CrescentKao thank you!
Hello Sir…Great information. I have a question for you…I have purchased GS1 barcodes for my private labeled products. Can I use my GS1 barcodes instead of Amazon FNSKU numbers for my products?
Hello! I'm glad you found value in the content! Yes, you have to use a UPC barcode in order to create a listing, however I don't recommend using the UPC on your products, use the FNSKU. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
Hi There , I'm a new salesperson PL. Recently subscribed to your channel and you are doing great. Naturally, I have a lot of questions😃😃😃. I created a listing with 4 colors and 2 shapes (square and oval), so there are 8 variations of 1 product. Each product is 125 pieces, the total number of products is 1000 pieces, and 20 pieces are placed on large boxes. So I have 5 pieces of the product left from each option, I want the remaining 5 pieces of options to be combined into 1 box, and I will have 2 such mixed boxes. The question is how should I build a shipping plan?
Hello! I'm glad you're finding value in the content! I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to do however, each unit needs to be prepackaged with all of the parts in one package so that it is ready to sell. Amazon will not assemble your pieces together for you. Then you can just choose Individually Packed to ship your variations in the same shipping carton as described in the video. Here's an updated video on this: ruclips.net/video/iQMKhWhSYPs/видео.html
Once you start a shipping plan at the point of entering details for each box. We have a large number of boxes and I was wondering if we can save and continue later if we need to take a break?
It depends at which point you stopped. You can only enter a max of 10 boxes anyways. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/qFzU6WOBJsw/видео.html
Does it really matter the box dimensions? Thank you Crescent.
Yes, you have to 100% accurate: ruclips.net/video/ynVQ3pOL3lk/видео.html
Hello
We create a shipping plan as soon as the manufacturer finishes production, correct?
Otherwise we don't know how many boxes or weights they end up with at the end of production...
Also aren't the labels generated only after the shipping plan is done, so the supplier has to take everything out of the boxes after weighing to put the labels on?
Hello. You create the shipping plan after or if the supplier has the shipment details ahead of time, you can create it early. The shipping labels go on the shipping cartons, not the product: ruclips.net/video/o0ZoSR4vRkU/видео.html
@@CrescentKao thanks!!! yes I know shipping labels go on the box I meant the labels generated by amazon for each individual unit. The supplier has to remove each unit after weighing the shipping box to put on the barcode labels Amazon generates on each unit? We have to enter weight, dimensions of the shipment first before Amazon will generate the individual unit labels, right? That makes me think that the supplier has to backtrack and take everything out of the box to label everything, correct me if I'm wrong? (Please)
Something not clear (or not covered): TWO products - one shipment. TWO FNSKU's - same number of boxes for each sku - slightly different size boxes - same number of items in each box for each SKU. Here's the question: Is this ONE shipping plan? If so HOW was not covered. If this is two plans - can I simply finish the first, then go to TRACK and select Duplicate and make the changes and then save that as second plan?
If you're shipping multiple sku's, just select the checkbox next to each SKU in the Manage Inventory page and then choose Send/Replenish Inventory from the drop down menu at the top. Or just create two shipping plans.
Awesome video! 👍👍👍👍Crescent,quick question,regarding shipping service,if my products total are over 150lb,should I choose LTL(less than truckload) instead of SPD? I know u mentioned SPD,which should I choose?thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you found value in it! If your shipment doesn’t meet the SPD requirements then you’ll have to ship it by LTL. The carriers won’t accept it if it’s too big or too heavy or they’ll charge you insane overage fees.
Fab video - very clear and very helpful - thank you! Can I ask what insurance you would recommend please? We're in the UK and going to be trading in the US so I suppose we should get an American insurance company. Also, with regards to the product inspection...if the supplier does a product inspection, would they facetime us to show us the product or do we just trust them that it has actually been done? I suppose it worries me because they would, potentially, be less willing to actually find any flaws with the product as any replacements would be their responsibility and therefore, at their cost. Would be great to know your thoughts :) Many thanks, again, Sophia
Your freight forwarder can offer insurance for the shipment. This goes over inspections: ruclips.net/video/NqTsTFKP7tA/видео.html
@@CrescentKao Thanks very much :)
@@sophiapenn-critten7072 You're welcome!
Thank you for the great video!! DDP shipping from the supplier normally includes insurance, too? Thank you
You're welcome. No, you'll have to discuss that with your shipping carrier or whomever is arranging the shipment.
Hi crescent! Nice and informative videos. I just want to ask, does the Ship From address in the shipping plan needs to be your supplier's address in China if you are shipping directly from them?
I'm glad you found value in the content! It doesn't matter what you put in the From field. You can put your suppliers, your own or your freight forwarders. I normally just put my suppliers address.
thank you but I had a questions, so before I order my products need to listing and make shipping plan so how we know that all information about my products like box size number of case the unit of number image from my products how to communicate with supplier if its before order my products should be listing and ship plan
You're welcome. Your supplier will have the shipment details. You don't need to create a shipping plan until you're ready to send in your inventory. Creating a shipping plan is separate from creating a listing. I suggest watching this video, it goes over everything step by step: ruclips.net/video/fLdPcTVkQz8/видео.html
hi... I have two items in one box....it's a bundled item with one FNSKU. There will be 500 units of that FNSKU in silver and another 500 units of another FNSKU in another color. Shouldn't I select Case packed for this?
No. All the cases must be exactly the same if you choose Case Packed. Always choose Individually packed even if you are doing case packed, it makes no difference like I said in the video.
When I print out the shipping label and barcode for the packages how do i sent them the label and make sure they put it on?
Email it to them and give them instructions.

@@ronrivera4738 You're welcome!
great content Crescent..question....if my local supplier takes care of the shipping for me through their own provider, how is this specified in the shipping plan?
I'm glad you found it helpful. Amazon doesn't care who the carrier is. The shipping plan is simply to let amazon know what and who the inbound shipments belong to when they arrive at the warehouse. Here's and updated video on this: ruclips.net/video/S_oNiDvgxQs/видео.html
This goes over the labeling too: ruclips.net/video/3DtbcEtgjjw/видео.html
Great video! How I wish I watched this before doing my shipping plan. I made a mistake of choosing amazon carrier partner although my FF will deliver my products from overseas to designated address. Unfortunately, I realized this over a month after approving and after embarking my products on the ship. My concern now is, will there be any problem using the same carton labels? I reckon it has carrier info too. Another strange thing is, shipping status showed "delivered" and this was even before the products were shipped.
I'm glad you found it helpful! The Partnered Carrier option is for domestic shipments only. You'll have to create a new shipping plan.
@@CrescentKao Thanks. Unfortunately, my products are already shipped waiting to arrive in US. The Support guy wasn't very reassuring but told me, the label, though was for partner carrier, will help them identify the products, regardless. What's your take on this?
Thanks for the tips crescent.
Please, just 2 questions:
1. Is there a penalty or punishment from Amazon when you create a listing and do not ship any inventory for a long while (say 2 - 3 weeks).
Reason for the question is that, the FNSKU label has to be obtained in advance so that the package designer can include the bar code on the product (or the supplier - if i don't want to embed on the package)
2. Is it preferable for the FNSKU bar code to be embedded on the product package when it is being designed or attached as a sticker by the supplier?
You’re welcome! 1) No. It doesn’t matter if you use the shipping plan or not. You can leave it or delete it, it doesn’t matter. You don’t need to create a shipping plan to get the FNSKU. You can click the Edit drop down menu on the Manage Inventory page and print them there.
2) you can print or sticker the barcode on the unit. It’s up to you. Printed may be cheaper if you’re already doing a custom package design. This goes over it: ruclips.net/video/lcGHgplGkbY/видео.html
@@CrescentKao Ohh thanks. I actually meant... would Amazon penalize me if I created a new listing now for a new product that would not be available for sales until after 3 weeks (i.e production of the products would be after 3 weeks).
Thanks.
@@raphaelnkemdilim8872 No, there’s no problem.
Quick question can i create one shipment for products from two suppliers? Whom should i type in "Ship from" ? The one with more packets, or create for each another shipment plan?
It doesn't matter what the from address is, you can put whatever you want. It doesn't matter if they're from one or more suppliers as long as the labels are affixed to the correct cartons. You can create a single shipping or multiple if you want.

@@CrescentKao Awesome Crescent - wow already ahead of me! You’re the man for this!!
I am still confused on if I have to have my product individually packed inside of the cartons from my supplier or will Amazon separate each unit once orders go out?
Yes.
I deleted my shipment. Now I am ready to ship it. They only thing I want to do different is the shipping method I chose. How do I go about doing this?
Just create a new shipping plan.
Hello Crescent, as always wonderful video. thanks for sharing your knowledge with others. One question. To import foods into USA from china do you need EIN number? In Freigtos website while booking for shipment there is section where we have to declare if we are foreigh importer and expect to have EIN number.
Hello, I'm glad you're finding value in the content. It doesn't matter what you're importing into the US, you need a federal tax ID, whether that's your SSN or EIN.
What about the inspection, if the first test batch is not large, about 200 pieces, and not for a large amount, then hiring an inspector, even $ 150, turns out to be quite a lot for the cost of the goods. Anyway, should I hire and do an inspection?
It's up to you and your risk tolerance. This goes over some of your options: ruclips.net/video/NqTsTFKP7tA/видео.html
Hi Crescent, another question. By the way my first shipment just arrived amazon warehouse , wanted to ask what to do in order to start selling. And also, must i do PPC?
Hello. Once Amazon processes your shipment, you’ll see active inventory on your listing and your listing will go live. Yes, always run PPC.
If the carton size is bigger than the SPD size 25 inches,or heavier than the 50 Lb weight limit is the next option LTL and can the Amazon preferred carrier still be used?
The partnered carrier program is available for all domestic shipments. If you create a shipping plan, you can see that option is available for SPD and LTL.
If a shipment was sent to Amazon as a small parcel delivery and it is arriving as LTL, what would be the repercussions? Am I able to fix this in the shipping plan?
The first time you might get a stern warning and told not to do it again if you keep messing up the inbound shipments, you’ll start to get penalized fines or get your selling privileges revoked altogether.
Can I change the shipping from address on my listing afterwards?
Yes. You can change your address in the settings.
I am new to Amazon and have not one yet the 1st shipment.
Wondering how to get the inspection company at China for the shipment from Chinese manufacturer. How to know the inspection company is reliable and have good track record.
