Amazon's new delivery FBM related issues

1. Will the new delivery settings affect FBA shipments?

The new delivery template setting is mainly for self-delivery. If you are shipping by FBA, it will not be affected. Previously, all SKUs could only use a unified template setting. After the upgrade, they can be set for a single SKU, which is more user-friendly.

Regardless of whether you upgrade manually or not, all accounts will be forcibly migrated after November 8th. In other words, for domestic shipments, FBA will not be affected. If you don’t have self-shipped products, it doesn’t matter if you don’t set it up.

2. Does the new shipping fee setting function support Shipping Overrides?

The new shipping setting function does not support Shipping Overrides. The new shipping setting will not save the old settings. If you have used Shipping Overrides in the old shipping setting,

Overrides, you can first download the Shipping Overrides Report, which can be reset as a template in the new shipping settings. Amazon New Delivery FBM Shipping Fee Setting Tutorial
