Connect the purchase, checks and next inventory shipment.

Share the products, specifications, quantity by SKU, destination marketplace and where you plan to receive the goods. Tell the team whether you need a supplier search, purchasing from selected suppliers, or preparation of goods you already own. Use sourcing support to discuss the first purchase or wholesale purchasing support for an existing product list.

Record the approved specification, variant, sample reference and quantity for each SKU. Tell the team how you want to identify each item when it arrives. Confirm supplier substitutions or changes to the product or packaging before purchasing.

For FBA, use the current requirements and shipment information for your marketplace and products in Seller Central. Share the relevant instructions or files needed for the proposed work. The team reviews which receiving, checking and packing tasks can be arranged and what still needs clarification.

Agree the quantity, visible-condition, specification or packaging checks you want, the coverage and reporting method, and who decides how to handle discrepancies. Use a defined inspection scope before relying on the findings to approve the next step.

Where labeling work is requested, provide the current files and a clear mapping between product references, units and cartons. Ask the team to confirm that it can perform the required work, how placement will be reviewed, and how changed files should replace earlier versions. Agree the scope and price before work begins.

Review the final contents, quantities, packed dimensions and weight against the shipment instructions. For FBA, check the box details and labels generated for the actual shipment. Agree who will resolve a quantity, destination or packing change before the goods leave.

Ask for goods, buying fees, inspection, materials, handling and international transport as separate quote items where applicable. Identify which amounts are confirmed, estimated or pending. Review import responsibilities through the landed-cost planning page and approve the work and dispatch separately.

Your team supplies the relevant seller instructions and retains control of the account and shipment decisions. Send only the files and details needed for the agreed work. Confirm who reviews the preparation record and gives the final dispatch instruction.

Amazon’s public US guidance explains product preparation and the shipment workflow. Use it as background, then verify the applicable instructions in your seller account for the current marketplace, product and shipment. Read Amazon’s prep, packaging and labeling guide. Read Amazon’s Send to Amazon overview.

Identify the SKU and shipment batch each label or preparation instruction belongs to. When your team changes a file, mark the replacement clearly and confirm which version is approved for the work. Resolve mismatches between product, label and carton references before authorising preparation or dispatch.
