Once you’ve assigned your box contents, you’re ready to move on to the Ship It step to complete your SPD shipments.
Completing SPD Shipments (Ship It)
After Box It, select your Shipping Mode in the dropdown menu, as well as the ship date, and click Confirm Shipping Mode.
On the new window, you will see all the Placement Options available, with detailed information for each.
Note: You can change the Ship Date in this stage also; however, please keep in mind that the Placement Options might change as well.
SPD: Partnered Carrier
Note: When using this shipping method, the cost will be billed to your Amazon Seller account as an inbound transportation charge. For information on the Amazon Partnered Carrier program and how shipping costs are estimated, please refer to their documentation located here: Amazon Partnered Carrier options.
After selecting the placement option on the Proposed FBA Shipping page, choose Partnered Carrier in the Carrier field.
Once everything looks good, click Confirm Placement to proceed.
The Charges window will appear and display the carrier information, number of boxes, shipping costs, and the ship from address.
If everything looks correct, tick Accept all fees and shipment charges, and click the Purchase All Shipping Labels button.
Once done, you will not be able to make changes to the shipment without voiding the shipments. (Shipments and their associated labels and charges can be voided within 24 hours of purchase.)
You can print your shipping labels after you purchase them by clicking Print Box and Shipping Labels.
Select the shipment(s) you want to print labels for and then click Print Box and Shipping Labels. Alternatively, click Print All Box and Shipping Labels to print everything at once.
Note: If your labels don't seem to be opening, try these steps: My shipping labels aren't opening!
Note: Amazon marks shipments as "Shipped" with the first scan from the carrier. They will still show in the Working Shipments window in InventoryLab and as "Working" in Seller Central until that time.
Once the shipment shows as "Shipped" in Seller Central, clicking the Sync Shipments button in InventoryLab will update the Working Shipments area and clear out the shipment.
Packing Lists
You can also print your packing list after confirming your Placement Option. On the pop-up, click Print Packing Lists.
Select one or more shipments and click Print Packing Lists, or simply choose Print All Packing Lists.
A new tab will open where you can see the list. The packing list contains the fulfillment center, shipping ID, and details of the assigned items in the boxes.
You'll also see the Total Buy Cost Value and Total List Price Value of each box.
Click the Print icon to print the list.
If you forget to print your packing list on this page, no worries! You can print it under Accounting > Inbound Shipping by clicking on the Shipment ID.
SPD: Non-Partnered Carrier
Choose your Carrier from the dropdown menu. The options are:
UPS (non-partnered)
DHL
FedEx
USPS
Other
After you have selected the carrier, you can see the changes in your fees.
Click Edit Tracking Numbers, then enter the Tracking ID for each box in the shipment.
Note: Amazon currently allows a maximum of 50 characters to be entered for tracking IDs.
Click Save Tracking Information to save.
Once everything looks good, click Confirm Placement to proceed.
The Charges window will appear and display the carrier information, number of boxes, shipping costs, and ship from address.
If everything looks correct, tick Accept all fees and shipment charges, then click the Purchase All Shipping Labels button.
Once done, you will not be able to make changes to the shipment without voiding the shipments. (Shipments and all associated labels and charges can be voided within 24 hours of purchase.)
You can print your shipping labels after you purchase them by clicking Print Box and Shipping Labels.
Click Print All Box and Shipping Labels to print the labels for all your shipments at once. Alternatively, you can tick the boxes next to any specific shipments you want to print labels for, then click Print Box and Shipping Labels.
The box labels will automatically download as a .PDF to your computer's downloads folder and can be printed in 4 x 6 or 8.5 x 11 sizes.
That's it! Once you complete these steps for all the shipments in the batch, it will close automatically, as this completes the workflow for it in InventoryLab.
