Hey everyone,
I’m new here. I would like to know how I can find out which warehouse address to give to the Chinese manufacturer.
Is this something I figure out with Amazon first, or should I provide the manufacturer with the address found somewhere else?
Also, regarding barcodes: for example, if I have the same product with different colors and patterns, do I need to create different barcodes for each variation?
Thank you in advance!
The address will be given to you by Amazon when you create the shipment. It could be one of many addresses or it could be several addresses in the same shipment. Check seller university for more information.
Each colour/size/pattern etc needs a new barcode number or you can apply for barcode exemption. Again, look for details in seller university and help articles.
For the warehouse address, you’ll need to create a shipping plan in your Amazon Seller Central account first, as Amazon will assign specific fulfillment center addresses based on your product details and destination marketplace. Share the assigned address with your manufacturer for shipping. As for barcodes, yes, each product variation (e.g., different colors or patterns) requires its own unique barcode (UPC or EAN), as these distinguish the variations in Amazon’s system.
Thanks a lot
Most Chinese suppliers are already very experienced with FBA and will guide you. What you need to give them is the FBA box label which already contains the delivery address. You will receive it in the final step of arranging a shipment.
