Thank you so much .without your videos I can never sell on amazon .😅This is really a complicated process .

[fawadkhanspeaks]

Been finding a right person, to learn from. Been through a lot of them, but your explanations and the presentation along with them is just fantastic. Now I can call somebody my tutor ♥️

Thank you Crescent, your videos have helped me ship to Amazon for the first time. But I have a question: I still have my status as “shipped” two weeks after updating shipment with tracking ID. I reached out to my freight forwarder and she said they don’t update like UPS. I’m shipping from China. Should I be worried?

Thank so much for another helpful video! I remember in a previous video you mentioned you typically recommend doing individually packed and I definitely can understand why with all the parameters around case packing. It seems like they now allow a combination of both case packed and individually packed in one shipping plan.... would this be your new recommendation when it applies?

[sandraroman]

Absolutely amazing! thank you so much!

[TheJosa]

What would we do without you? You are a God send.thank you very much for educating some of us

[AlexanderAng]

Thank you so much for your video!!! So informative. I have a question tho on the last part of your vid, the 2nd common mistake newbies make.. mixing up unit and box size & weight (vid stamp 22:48). I haven't encountered that window to enter the unit size and weight upon shipment plan creation. Can i find this information in the shipment plan i created? Looking forward to your response. Tia!!!

Hello, can you explain the process of Amazon partnered carrier. More specifically shipping service where we get two options of Pick up service and Use your own EOR. I noticed that Amazon shipping is cheaper

[viktorijajovanovikj]

such a nice explanation, thank you so much, glad i came across your videos.

Great content, well presented. I've been at it a month (and I've go the tech logs to prove it!) A single sku bumper sticker and it's been enough wild goose chases and a million rabbit holes and always come up empty. Imna month I've seen them switch processes, requirements, webpages, layouts, content. I was watching one of Camerons videos, just 2 months old, and I couldn't get 3 minutes into it. The menus have changed, and the tab that he indicated to go to, showing the audience every step. And iit's all changed and of no use to mr.

You are obviously a smart guy with an entrepreneurial spirit. Your videos have solid production values and you are blessed with being good on camera!

It obviously has played well to your strengths to be a seller and communicator. The past month dancing with Amazon has been a nightmare. Maybe Im just not wired to jump through all the administrative hoops.

How long have you been at it, your relationship with Amazon, and is it changing as quickly as Ive experienced. Again, great job Crescent!Your a Pro!

This is great and it answered my question for shipping glass bottles. I get an error that I cannot use my manufacturer UPC to track the product. My GS1 UPC code is printed on the product label on the bottle. I am the manufacturer and the only seller of this product. Should I use the Amazon FNSKU on the bubble bag that the bottle will be packed in?

Hi thanks for this!

Some queries please:

1) if you are still at the manufacturing stage, but have set up a draft listing, can you still create a shipping plan that can be amended as needed later once other details are firmed up?

2) Is it ok to submit a draft listing but just make the go-live date to much later (my product will take at least a couple of months to be both manufactured and sea shipped) so that it shows up in manage inventory to then create a draft shipping plan? My listing isn't at all optimised, just wanted to create one to see if I come across any issues.

3) Finally, I just wanted to check product variations. This will be my initial launch product but plan to have variations of it later - maybe next year. However, when drafting the listing, should I still checkmark the variations option now (I won't have the details to add to the variation yet although I can allocate a UPC code if required as purchased 10)?

Thank you again

Sir my item units are 98 with 7 box and total weight of these are 182lbs and 1 box contain 14 units and weight 26lbs so which which option I should choose Small Delivery Parcel or LTL for it..?

[afafleoub]

Thank you so much for the valuable content! I have a question, when using Amazon partnered carrier to ship from China to USA, how is import done? If I am not using a freight forwarded, do I have to be present or fill any paperwork in order for the product to pass customs in USA?

[cyndiramirez]

Thank you for this video, it's so helpful! Struggling with understanding the timelines of all of this for a first product. So in order to get an amazon shipping address for the supplier, you need to have your product listed but in order to have your product listed, you need to have all of your professional photos ready to go. If you don't even have the product in hand since it's being produced overseas, how do you get around this catch 22?

[yasmine]

What about the barcode I need to print on the shipping box please help. I have the product in boxes ready to go with no labels

[idk]

With regard to the address of origin, I happen to own a home in California. You mentioned that I can use my own address. Would you recommend using the home address that I have in California? Or do you altogether advise against using a home address?

[vipset]

Hi, If I am in America and my product is with me, can I take the product to the Amazon warehouse myself?
