You can either ship it yourself, or you can have them do it, but the product has to be sold on their platform. I could save like 10% of that 17% by shipping myself and just using Amazon as a shopping front end, but the point of Amazon is that people want that Prime service. |

MCF is general fulfillment. "Non-branded packaging. Your MCF orders will be sent in unbranded packaging–Not in Amazon packaging." https://sell.amazon.com/fulfillment-by-amazon/fba-multi-channel |

Amazon are a horribly complicated and regimented system though, I can't imagine the problems trying to ship direct from my manufacturer to an amazon warehouse. |

Went to a lot of effort to set up 5 different DHL shipping zones all with indvidual pricing for multipel weight categories. Only then did I discover that you can't have a product in more than one shipping profile >:( So I start from strach putting the 5 zones under one shipping profile with all products, onyl to then find that it for some reason forces Australia into ALL zones. WTF. |O |
