justapilgrim Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 I sent 150lbs of Lego in6 boxes. Anywhere from 1 to 12 or so of each set.Went to 6 different places.For my orders like this it's kind of a game of Tetris. Large sets usually go to same location, so it's stuff a box till full.....And not split up. Quote
landphieran Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 What kind of preparation is required for items that have "walmart.com"/"target.com" stamped on the outer box. Do I need to remove all of the items from the boxes and re-package them? How would one do that with the bundle Lego bundle sets on walmart? Quote
Trains 'n boats Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Hey there, Where do I find how a new FBA seller can get started? I was through the steps and it seems I need to 'request approval' and supply some documentation about having purchased direct from manufacturer, which I don't got. Is there something on the site that can help me understand that? I feel like I've also maybe read that new sellers can't sell LEGO on Amazon. Would just love some help either closing the book on this as an option, or a direction to some help. Thanks y'all! Quote

As long as there are no barcodes/old shipping label on the outer boxes u can reuse if that is the question . 5 minutes ago, Trains 'n boats said: Hey there, Where do I find how a new FBA seller can get started?

I feel like its not smart to advertise to buyers where the item is coming from. Does it matter though? Quote

Lego_Monsters Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Hi FBA sellers, what boxes do you guys use to ship a bunch of lego's to Amazon FBA? I have these at home, but was wondering if it was too big and the delivery people might throw it around and damage the legos inside. http://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Home-Depot-22-in-L-x-21-in-W-x-22-in-D-Extra-Large-Box-1001015/202518472 http://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Home-Depot-18-in-L-x-18-in-W-x-24-in-D-Large-Box-1001006/202029359 Do you guys use heavy duty boxes instead like this one or just regular boxes? Do you guys ship with peanuts, bubbles or just stuff them all in the box without cushioned? Quote

landphieran Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 @Lego_Monsters I would read up on the Amazon packaging requirements. You aren't supposed to use packaging peanuts, there are various weight and length restrictions based on the size of items you are sending. If its oversized (one dimension is over 24") you can send larger boxes. They flag shipments if there are dependencies etc. Best to know it to avoid any issues in the future.https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=200243250 Quote
redcell Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 You use the regular one's or the heavy duty ones?I only use heavy duty boxes these days. They're better because the double wall provides enough protection that you don't need to put packing material around the sets...the box itself provides all the protection that you need 99.9% of the time. That lets you pack more into each box. 1 Quote
cladner Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 i've had an inbound FBA shipment that tracking showed was delivered on August 1. Amazon shows its been delivered but its just been sitting in DELIVERED status now for the last week. i've shipped maybe 30 similar sized boxes and these always were processed within 3 days of being delivered. the shipment is to Redlands CA warehouse which I had never shipped to before so I am wondering if this is just very busy place. have a feeling the answer is this is just one of those things and get used to it.

After a couple weeks, I've opened a case and things moved along a little faster. I also have several items that were lost after they received or not marked received after my last shipment. They keep moving back the reconciliation date too. Joy Joy! Quote
jaxman Posted August 10, 2017 Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) One of my recent shipments arrived at a Baltimore fc on July 20th and got checked in and received (with an incorrect count) two weeks later. That shipment's reconciliation date got pushed back a week as well. Edited August 10, 2017 by jaxman Quote
exciter1 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Anyone have the scoop for what happened to the Grand Emporium listing? Quote
zskid00 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Not sure. It's still there through the link in my inventory list, but I'm not finding it through an Amazon search. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033PSLUK 1 Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 An idiot crashed the price by 40$ that's what . Those listings come and go like the at-at and isd . brainiac attack fba is under review. Wonder why damn idiots . *sarcasm* 1 Quote
ISO8T0 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) came up searching "lego 10211", but not the proper one as you provided link for @zskid00 Edited August 15, 2017 by pstebbing Quote
justapilgrim Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 People have no clue. Accidentally sold a FBM listing (trying to do all FBA), and customer cancelled BC shipping was too high. Shipping was $4.99 and it would actually cost $12-$15 depending on where she lives. I'll keep on the inflated FBA prices with "free" shipping 1 Quote
