FAQ
Are FNSKU and carton labels the same?
No. FNSKU identifies products; carton labels identify shipping cartons.
Can labels be added after warehouse receiving?
It may be possible within the service scope, but it adds time and risk. Confirm before shipment.
What happens if labels are wrong?
Rejection, receiving delay, relabeling, or extra handling charges may occur.
When are pallet labels needed?
When cargo is delivered on pallets, labels are usually prepared according to Amazon requirements.
