If you’re planning on using one of Amazon’s last-mile delivery options, then your initial shipping destination should be your logistics provider’s warehouse.

Alibaba.com Freight will provide you with the logistics provider’s warehouse address, but you will be responsible for scheduling a pickup from there once the goods arrive. When choosing a destination on the Alibaba.com Freight search page, we suggest entering either Los Angeles or New York City – whichever is closer to your assigned Amazon warehouse. If your Amazon warehouse is located elsewhere, choose the city closer to your origin country (Los Angeles for China, New York for Europe).\n

\nLabeling should ideally be done at the factory. The supplier must apply both the FBA labels and the last-mile delivery labels. Alternatively, your provider can label your goods (FBA and/or last-mile) and then coordinate from their warehouse.\n

\nLast-mile delivery is ideal when Amazon gives you multiple destination warehouses. You can arrange for one international shipment to your logistics provider’s warehouse and have the provider split them up for you.\n

\nLast-mile services will generally only take loose cargo and usually only around a dozen boxes at a time. If your goods exceed this number or are being shipped on pallets, then the delivery service may have difficulty with final transport.\n

\nNote: When shipping Express, there is no need to use last-mile delivery. Simply ship directly to your designated Amazon warehouse.
