Rejected or delayed inbound shipments cost time and money. Most problems come from a handful of repeat mistakes.
Before you pack
- Match every unit to the right listing and barcode
- Check expiry dates where they apply
- Inspect packaging for damage
- Confirm the units are new and as listed
Labels
Each unit needs a scannable label that matches the listing. Cover or remove conflicting barcodes where the rules require it.
Packing and shipping
- Use sturdy cartons and fill empty space
- Keep weights and dimensions within the carrier and marketplace limits
- Attach shipment labels exactly as the shipment plan specifies
Both Amazon and Walmart publish their own requirements and update them. Treat this list as a starting point and check the current guidance before each shipment.
