Which courier can scan this type of label?

Fulfilment By Amazon Shipping Inventory to Amazon
1

I created a shipment, but my product falls under dangerous goods, so Amazon isn’t taking responsibility. In this situation, we have the option to send the goods through another courier, but at the last step, they’re asking for a tracking ID.

My shipping label on the boxes is designed to be scanned with a handheld scanner, and UPS and DPD have said they don’t use handheld scanners, so they can’t scan it. Without that scan, I won’t get a tracking ID.

How can I send the products to Amazon, any solution?

I couldn’t quite understand what you’re asking. For dangerous goods, we create a shipment plan by selecting a non-partnered carrier and get the FBA box labels. Then we go to the UPS or DPD website to create shipping labels, paste both labels (FBA + UPS/DPD) on the boxes, and enter the UPS/DPD tracking IDs into the shipment plan in Seller Central, that’s it.

Are you in the UK?

I think for Hazmat, you need to use Parcelforce to send the goods. I don’t believe other couriers accept Hazmat (but I could be wrong).

You should also follow what @Dennis said as I suspect that you think that the courier can scan the FBA label. They can’t. You need to book a courier (and pay) and they will scan their labels.

Is this your first shipment? Have you checked through the FBA guidance in Seller University? The information you need is there.

Thanks, but they are costing too much like 8 pounds like this.

If you can find another approved carrier that can take hazmat and is cheaper, feel free to use it. Remember that very few couriers accept hazmat.

But I am still confused, have you actually booked and paid for any courier or do you think that the FBA label is enough?

In this case, since your product falls under dangerous goods and Amazon isn’t offering partnered carrier support, you’ll need to use a non-partnered carrier that can provide a valid tracking ID and is willing to deliver to Amazon’s fulfillment centers with the correct FBA box labels. The issue you’re facing is with couriers not scanning the FBA label because they require their own tracking system, so the key is to book a courier that allows manual entry of tracking info or can assign their own tracking number independent of label scanning. Some sellers use freight forwarders or 3PLs who can handle this process and ensure compliance with both courier and Amazon’s requirements. Alternatively, try working with DHL Freight, FedEx Freight, or local logistics providers who offer B2B or pallet services, these are more accustomed to handling non-standard or dangerous goods and can generate tracking IDs even without scanning Amazon’s label. Just make sure the delivery is arranged as a “scheduled delivery” with Amazon, especially for dangerous goods, and coordinate with carrier support to get confirmation and proof of delivery.
