Hi,
I send pallets to Amazon UK. One of my pallets has been taking 5 weeks to get checked in. Does anyone know how to overcome this?
Also, will people still be sending stock in November and December, or should I send my stock for Q4 this month?
Amazon has said they are focusing on inbound shipments in October, and in November and December they will be focusing on customer orders.
I’ve never sent pallets but my boxed shipments take less than a week to be checked in and received. Occasionally, completion of receiving might be delayed by another week or so for the odd box or two from the shipments.
There’s nothing you can do, it’s the same for everyone.
It takes 1 to 2 weeks to receive and have checked in inventory these days.
Sending smaller boxes can often expedite Amazon UK’s check-in process. For Q4, it’s best to send your stock well in advance, even though Amazon may prioritize customer orders later in the year.
Maybe the warehouse where it was sent is taking longer due to Q4. You can wait for Amazon to process it in its own time.
I recommend sending inventory this month, as many people will be sending theirs next month, and delays could happen since it’s Q4.
You should plan your inventory carefully to avoid an out-of-stock situation.
Are you handling all of this by yourself?
You can ship by truck ddp with one month shipping time.
