What is an FBA inbound shipment?
An FBA inbound shipment is the process of sending your products to Amazon's fulfillment centers so they can be stored and shipped to customers.
How do I create a new shipment in ZonWizard?
Go to Inventory > FBA Shipments, click the plus button, select your integration and marketplace, and configure the shipment settings.
Can ZonWizard automatically add low-stock items to a shipment?
Yes, you can enable the auto-fill option to include products that need restocking based on your inventory settings.
Why is a contact phone number required for the ship-from address?
Amazon requires a contact phone number for the ship-from address; without it, the shipment will be rejected.
What are the stages of an FBA inbound shipment in ZonWizard?
The stages are products, groups, boxes, shipments, and tracking, followed by receiving and closure.
What is a packing template and how does it help?
A packing template is a reusable configuration that defines box dimensions, weight, and unit counts, allowing you to enter the number of boxes instead of individual product quantities.
How does the auto-fill boxes feature work?
You enter your standard box size and maximum weight, and ZonWizard automatically calculates the most efficient packing arrangement using the fewest boxes.
Do I need to enter tracking numbers for all carriers?
No, tracking numbers are only required if you use a non-partnered carrier. Partnered carriers are integrated and update tracking automatically.
What happens when Amazon receives my shipment?
ZonWizard automatically updates your FBA inventory quantities, deducts stock from your internal inventory, and recalculates the average cost of your FBA products.
How does managing FBA inbound shipments help my business?
It keeps your Amazon stock accurate, helps avoid stockouts, and allows you to plan reorders with precision and speed.
