Product and SKU information
Prepare an accurate SKU list, product names, unit counts, dimensions, and any product-specific handling instructions. This gives the seller and prep partner the same reference point.
Labeling requirements
Clarify which labels are required, whether Amazon or FNSKU barcodes apply, where labels must be placed, and whether existing barcodes need to be covered or replaced.
Packaging and protection
Identify whether units need poly bags, bubble wrap, bubble bags, inserts, bundles, or other protective packaging. Note any product-specific requirements before the work begins.
Carton and shipment details
Share carton count, carton dimensions, carton labels, destination information, shipment timing, and the Amazon instructions that apply to the shipment.
Document the exceptions
If a product has fragile packaging, different variants, special labeling, expiration information, or a non-standard bundle, identify it before the work begins instead of relying on assumptions.
Final verification
Before shipment, compare the prepared units and cartons with the current Amazon instructions, the shipment plan, and the written preparation scope. Requirements may differ by product category and can change over time.
