When the Box Content Setting is turned Off for a batch, you can still complete the shipments and purchase shipping labels in InventoryLab. However, not providing box-level content information will result in a manual processing fee from Amazon.

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

  1. After selecting the placement option on the Proposed FBA Shipping page, choose Partnered Carrier on the Carrier field.
    ​

  2. Once everything looks good, click Confirm Placement to proceed.
    ​

  3. The Charges window will appear and display the carrier information, number of boxes, shipping costs, and the ship from address.
    ​

  4. If everything looks correct, tick Accept all fees and shipment charges, and click the Purchase Shipping Labels button.
    ​


    Once done, you will not be able to make changes to the shipment without voiding the charges. (Charges can be voided within 24 hours of purchase.)
    ​

  5. You can print your shipping labels after you purchase them, by clicking Print Box and Shipping Labels.
    ​

  6. Select the shipment, and then click Print Box and Shipping Labels, or Print All Box and Shipping Labels.
    ​

    The shipping labels & 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.

Note: If your labels don't seem to be opening, try these steps: My 2D barcode labels or 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 is showing as "Shipped" in Seller Central, clicking the Sync Shipments button in InventoryLab will update the Working Shipments area and clear out the shipment.

SPD: Non-Partnered Carrier

  1. 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.
    ​

  2. Enter the Tracking ID for each box in the shipment, by clicking Edit Tracking Numbers.
    ​

    Note: Amazon currently allows a maximum of 50 characters to be entered for tracking IDs.

  3. Click Save Tracking Information to save.
    ​

  4. Once everything looks good, click Confirm Placement to proceed.
    ​

  5. The Charges window will appear and display the carrier information, number of boxes, shipping costs, and the ship from address.
    ​

  6. If everything looks correct, tick Accept all fees and shipment charges, and click the Purchase Shipping Labels button.
    ​

    Once done, you will not be able to make changes to the shipment without voiding the charges. (Charges can be voided within 24 hours of purchase.)
    ​

  7. You can print your shipping labels after you purchase them, by clicking Print Box and Shipping Labels.
    ​

  8. Select the shipment, and then click Print Box and Shipping Labels, or Print All 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.

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 is showing as "Shipped" in Seller Central, clicking the Sync Shipments button in InventoryLab will update the Working Shipments area and clear out the shipment.

We recommend waiting until the boxes have shipped and Amazon changes the shipment status to "Shipped" before interacting with it in Seller Central. At that time, the tracking IDs or PRO numbers entered in InventoryLab will be available for reference in Seller Central.

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.

Complete & Close Batch Button

After creating all of your proposed shipments on the Proposed FBA Shipping page, the Close this Batch button will be available to click.

While we recommend completing shipments in InventoryLab to avoid issues with the Send to Amazon interface, this option allows you to enter box-level content information, purchase shipping, and finish the shipments using Seller Central.

Once clicked, your batch will close, and you can move to your Shipping Queue in Seller Central to finish the shipments.
