We are finalizing our first order through Alibaba. We are doing FBA. We have sent the barcodes for each item, however the manufacturer keeps saying we need labels for the outside of the cartons (I’m assuming this is the shipping label) however, today they said we need to send a barcode on the barcode.
Any idea what they are asking for?
We are so confused at this point as to what exactly they need.
You need carton labels. For every carton you are sending has to have them so Amazon can identify your cartons. So if you are sending 2 cartons, they will say 1/2 2/2 so Amazon knows that there are only 2 you have sent. They are usually given when you set up the shipping. You also need the shipping labels.
I sent those too and they said, this is for products we need them for outside cartons. So I asked, do you need the shipping labels? and they said I need barcode on the barcode
Unless you are shipping pallets, you need a shipping (mailing) label, and a unique Box Label on the outside of each carton. Any other barcodes MUST be covered.
they said I need barcode on the barcode
That makes no sense whatsoever. You already sent the FNSKU labels, you need to send them a Shipping Label for each carton, and a Box Label for each carton.
