Today we are going to look at the issue of overweight shipments from Amazon FBA. In this case, how do we put our labels on?
First of all, you have to see which site it is. In fact, the processing methods of the US site and the UK site are different. If a single product exceeds the limit on the US site, it needs to be posted, but the UK site is posted on the outer box. The details are as follows:
US Station: If a package contains multiple items, the value cannot exceed 50 pounds; if a single item exceeds 50 pounds, it needs to be delivered separately and needs to be marked, with teamlift marked on the top and side.
UK Station: The weight of a single carton cannot exceed 15kg. If it exceeds 15kg, a "Heavy Package" (overweight label) must be printed and affixed to the outer carton.
Japan: For parcels weighing less than 40kg, parcels weighing more than 15kg will be labeled as “overweight” and need to be palletized; parcels with dimensions greater than 50*60*50cm need to be palletized;
Common problems with overweight shipments from Amazon FBA:
Can I write the FBA US overweight label myself, print it out and stick it on?
Yes, but this overweight label is only effective for a single product that is overweight. If your single product is not overweight, but you put multiple products in a box, resulting in overweight, even if you affix an overweight label, the store may still be warned.
What kind of mark is very important when shipping a single box from FBA?
Overweight label, or teamlift, you can query the corresponding information in Amazon’s backend.
Doesn’t the US FBA site require an overweight label?
If any side of the carton exceeds 63.5cm, the carton needs to be placed on a 1mX1.25m pallet, unless the size of the carton for the single-unit sale exceeds the size of the standard pallet.
Do cartons have to use standard pallet stacking requirements?
If a single large item will extend beyond the edge of the pallet when using a 1mx1.25m pallet, a pallet of a size and type more suitable for the item will need to be used.
(259cm cargo 13cm pallet height), leave a minimum gap of 8cm from the top of the pallet to the top of the container (standard trailer height is 280cm) 13) All cargo on pallets exceeding 183cm must be approved for squeeze clamp truck operation. Cargo that cannot be operated by squeeze clamp trucks will not be selected with this pallet.
Use stretch film to palletize cartons, making sure the film completely covers the goods on the pallet. This can prevent movement during transportation and ensure that the stacked pallets are stable during transportation.
