Hi, I am in the process of ordering my first batch of product from China via DDP and I have a few questions
If I order an FBA shipment, do I have a specific time to send it to the warehouse, or should I provide an estimated date of arrival of the shipment, what does it look like?
What if the shipping company that works with my manufacturer is not listed on amazon?
How does Amazon know when my order will arrive?
What address to set when setting up a shipment because I heard that if I set a Chinese address, it will select some distant address in the middle of the USA? Maybe I should set the port address in california so that amazon chooses a closer address, I don’t know if it’s true or false that it works like that

You do not have to commit to a specific time to complete your shipment to Amazon. If your shipment stays open for 6 months there’s a good chance it will be canceled for you.

That will already have been determined beforehand.

Amazon will decide which Fulfillment center will receive your shipment. You need to follow their directions exactly.
Importing a shipment to FBA is a very complex process. Amazon has provided detail instructions for you.
