No 3rd Party Shipping
Each warehouse has specific operating procedures that must be followed without exceptions in most cases. Here are some restrictions you may encounter after routing orders:
- No Direct Shipping to 3rd Party Warehouses:
- Some warehouses do not ship directly to any 3rd party warehouses. Instead, they only ship to Palletfly's warehouse. If this restriction applies:
- Palletfly will transfer the merchandise to our own warehouse for onward shipment to your location.
- This process typically occurs seamlessly in the background. You will only be notified if there are delays or unforeseen challenges.
- Some warehouses do not ship directly to any 3rd party warehouses. Instead, they only ship to Palletfly's warehouse. If this restriction applies:
- No Scheduling of Own Freight:
- Certain warehouses do not permit Palletfly to schedule its own freight. In such cases:
- You will be billed for shipping costs on a case-by-case basis.
- Prior to checking out your order, you can request a shipping quote by selecting the Palletfly Quote Shipping option.
- Freight charges are typically around 10% of the total cost of goods.
- Certain warehouses do not permit Palletfly to schedule its own freight. In such cases:
- Utilization of Warehouse for Shipping to FBA:
- Some warehouses require using their facilities for shipping to Amazon FBA.
- If this applies:
- You need to generate the necessary FBA labels (box/pallet labels) for the shipment.
- Similar to other scenarios, you can request a shipping quote before checkout using the Palletfly Quote Shipping option.
- Freight charges usually amount to approximately 10% of the total cost of goods.
Important Considerations:
- Wait for Order Preparation: Always wait until your order is prepared before generating labels or booking shipments.
