Send inventory to Amazon
Note: Once your inventory is received at a fulfillment center or receive center, it is available for sale. You can track the status of your shipment in the Shipping Queue as it changes from In transit to Delivered, Checked in, Receiving, and Closed. To learn more, go to How Amazon receives and stores your inventory.
Options for creating shipments include the following:
- Send to Amazon: A streamlined shipment creation workflow with simplified steps that saves you time when replenishing inventory. You can create your shipments either by adding products from the Send to Amazon page or by uploading the list of products using an Excel spreadsheet.
- Send/replenish inventory to Amazon: A legacy shipment creation workflow that should be used if you want to use Amazon Global Logistics to ship inventory from China.
- Amazon Marketplace Web Service or Selling Partner API: For medium to large shipments. You can integrate your own inventory systems using Amazon APIs.
Note: By default, when you create a shipping plan, your shipment may be divided into multiple shipments, each directed to a different fulfillment center. The fulfillment centers are selected based on the products you're shipping and where you are shipping from. With your inventory spread across multiple fulfillment centers across the country, customers who buy your products can get them delivered faster than they would if your inventory was located farther away.

Pan-European FBA: How it works
The Pan-European FBA program allows you to fulfil offers in all European marketplaces from one inventory pool without incurring per-unit cross-border fulfilment fees for the European Fulfilment Network. Amazon will distribute your inventory across the European Fulfilment Network at no additional cost. You can track your Pan-European FBA offers using all standard reports and tools in Seller Central.
Pan-European FBA will become active for a product only after you create an active FBA offer in all the Amazon European marketplaces listed as required on the Pan-European FBA Inventory page in your Selling on Amazon account.
