Greetings from Fulfillment by Amazon

Amazon sellers are the engine that drives Fulfillment by Amazon. Whether it’s helping current sellers to expand their business to include other international Amazon marketplaces or seeding the next generation of sellers with the tools to get started, we are here to help you get to the next level. In this edition, we highlight some of the ways Amazon and FBA are helping sellers to plan for success.

Images for U.S. Prep Problems Now Available on Selected Items in Seller Central

When a product arrives at an Amazon fulfillment center without the necessary prep, and the seller has not asked Amazon to perform the prep on their behalf, an inbound prep problem is recorded and shown in Seller Central (i.e. item required poly bagging and was sent without a bag).

Now, in some cases in the U.S., we will also provide an image of your product demonstrating the unexpected prep problem. With this image, you can see the inbound problem and also provide feedback on the image.

Prep Image

Being able to able to actually see the problem will allow you to improve your process and perform the necessary prep as stated in our Packaging and Prep Requirements the next time it is shipped to Amazon or elect to have Amazon perform the prep on your behalf.

Manage FBA Inventory Page to be Retired

You may have noticed that you can now perform your FBA inventory management actions on the Manage Inventory page. We consolidated all inventory tasks onto one page for added convenience and efficiency. With that in mind, we will be retiring the Manage FBA Inventory page later this year so we can focus our efforts and resources on maintaining the newly-revamped Manage Inventory page. To learn more about the transition, visit the Streamlined Shipment Creation and Inventory Management Tools help page.

In the coming weeks, you will be able to opt-in to the new Beta of the Manage Inventory page and view the changes yourself. Simply sign in to Seller Central and look for the “Try it now” button on the top banner of the Manage Inventory page.

Amazon Helps Entrepreneurs at White House Maker Faire

Amazon worked with international crowdfunding site, Indiegogo, for the first-ever White House Maker Faire in June.

As part of the Maker Faire, Indiegogo held its own Maker Challenge, where Makers and inventors from around the world got the chance to showcase their creations and earn Amazon-sponsored packages designed to take these entrepreneurial ventures to the next level.

Expanding Your Customer Base Close to Home

Did you know that sellers on Amazon.com can sell in Canada through Amazon.ca, and sellers on Amazon.ca can sell in the U.S. through Amazon.com?

One of the quickest ways to accelerate the growth of your customer base is to list your products for sale on another Amazon marketplace globally—and expanding to your North American neighbor may be one of the simplest ways to start.

The recently launched Amazon Global Selling resource site gives an overview of key questions you may be asking about expanding into another marketplace.

For U.S. sellers expanding into the Amazon.ca marketplace, Amazon has just made the customs process a lot easier to navigate. Review the following information to learn how to Establish Your Non Resident Importer Brokerage Account with UPS.
