Last-Mile Logistics for Amazon

Last Update 5 years ago
The final step in your FBA freight journey is getting your goods to Amazon’s warehouse. This step is known as last-mile delivery and you can either opt to ship less-than-truckload (LTL) or small parcel delivery (SPD).
LTL vs. SPD
As a general rule, if you are shipping over two pallets, you should defer to your freight forwarder who will know all of the requirements that go with LTL, including:
- Using acceptable pallets
- Adhering to pallet label requirements
- Providing the bill of lading (BOL)
- Scheduling a delivery
If you are shipping fewer than two pallets, you may opt for SPD, which you can coordinate directly on Amazon.
