I know that I need to label my products before sending them to Fulfillment by Amazon center. Is there anything else I need to do?

    Yes you'll print your labels and make sure that they cover any existing upc codes on your products. You'll also print out the shipping label to put on the outside of the boxes. Thats it!

    Congrats on your first shipment of many!

    Does Amazon provide labeling services? Can my supplier just ship my items right to FBA?

      Amazon will put the FNSKU on each product for $.20 a piece. You also need to have a barcode SKU on each product. There are a lot of intricacies depending of the product. Check out here:

      Pack up your stuff, propare your shipment in FBA to get all the appropriate labels, and get that stuff on a truck. If you're in the US, use Amazon's discounted UPS shipping, it's really stupid cheap. I just sent three decent sized boxes for $15. It would have been $40 to send them myself.

        This is really good information. Thanks!

    As mentioned above be sure that your item labels cover any privious UPC labels. When you pack the items into your shipping box use bubblle wrap or kraft paper. Do NOT use newspaper or styrafoam peanuts - this will get you a very stern warning from Amazon.

    I would also suggest that you completely cover the UPS shipping label with clear packing tape. This way there is no chance of damage to the label during transport. Also make sure the box label (or at least the bar code section of it) does not cross a box seam that will be cut open with a box cutter knife.
