From April 19, 2021, we require you to provide the carrier name for all orders during the Ship Confirm process of seller-fulfilled orders. In addition, we require you to provide the tracking ID for all orders shipped with a tracked ship method during the Ship Confirm process of seller-fulfilled orders. Without this information, you will not be able to ship confirm your order. Amazon will automatically cancel orders if seven days have passed since the expected shipping availability date and you have not yet shipped and confirmed the shipment (find more details here). Delay in ship confirming orders may lead to increase in Late Shipment Rate (LSR) which may lead to account suspension (find more details here).
In order to share the carrier name and delivery service with us, please follow the below steps:
a. When using Seller Central, select the carrier name from the drop down list, and then, use the drop down list to select your delivery service. If your preferred carrier name and/or delivery service are not listed, please use ‘Other’ and enter the carrier name or delivery service used.
b. When using bulk feed, please enter the ‘carrier code’ and ‘ship-method’ against each line item. If you mention ‘Other’ in the ‘carrier code’ field, please provide an input for the ‘carrier name’ field. Please, ensure that the 'carrier code' you provide matches the list of carriers available in the Seller Central drop down. The ship method name does not need to match exactly the ones mentioned in below table (see FAQ 7). These are just the most commonly used delivery services. However, please be aware that for calculating VTR, we can only exclude shipments from untracked ship methods if you provide the name of an untracked ship method that is identical to one in the Delivery service drop-down menu of the Confirm shipment page (or as listed in FAQ 7). A detailed instruction on how to use bulk feed can be found here.
c. When using integrators, please configure your integrators to provide us with the carrier and delivery service details. If you have not already configured your integrator to provide these fields, we recommend you reach out to your integrator to understand how to share carrier name and delivery service while confirming orders. Please ensure that the 'carrier code' you provide matches the list of carriers available in the Seller Central drop down. The ship method name does not need to match exactly with the ones mentioned in the below table (see FAQ 7). These are just the most commonly used delivery services. However, please be aware that for calculating VTR, we can only exclude shipments from untracked ship methods if you provide the name of an untracked ship method that is identical to one in the Delivery service drop-down menu of the Confirm shipment page (or as listed in FAQ 7). If you are an integrator and want to learn about how to provide this information, see the Shipment Request Details page.
d. When using Buy Shipping, there is no action required. We automatically collect data on carrier and ship method used through this system.
With the carrier name, delivery service/ship-method and the tracking ID you provide, we can pass any scan events made available by the carrier on to the customer, enabling the customer to easily track the shipment.
When you ship an order and do not see your carrier listed in the drop-down menu, please select “Other” and identify your carrier in the text fields. We will add more carriers over time.
While ship confirming your Digital products, please select Digital Delivery from the Carrier drop-down menu in the Confirm shipment page.
You can edit order tracking information up until the order is delivered. To edit the details:
You do not have to provide us tracking number for orders shipped as untracked letters or shipped through untracked ship methods.
A delivery service, also known as Ship Method, is the product or service you purchase from your carrier. Below are few examples of commonly used carrier and delivery service/ship-method combinations.
