if you haven't seen other parts or you want to skip to any other part you can
go right up over here they're all be there for you or you go to the
description as well to skip to any part in this series now this is a
full-fledged course so that you can start making a full-time income from
home this year without like questions and the guessing it's all gonna be laid
out here for you now today we're talking about shipping all right now shipping is
one that gets scary it looks like it's super complex when you're making your
first shipping plan it's probably the first time you're in you know Amazon
seller central on the back end and really doing stuff back there and it
looks kind of like a foreign software but as you'll see throws video it's not
that hard I'm gonna walk you through every single step so you know exactly
when it's time you know to create your listing to create your your shipping
plan exactly how to do that and you know what you need how to get the UPS what to
do with UPC code how to get the FN SKU and everything like that so stick with
me it's gonna be a simple process once you learn this once you'll know what
forever so let's get right to it
so the first thing max you gotta do when talking about shipping is create your
listing so we're taking a bit of a leapfrog to get to the next section so
that we can do something create our FN SKU so there's two things that you're
going to eat you need a UPC code there's two like okay so many disabilities and
those can be confusing alright so you need to generate an offense SKU to give
to your supplier so they can put the FN SKU on your products okay so you are
familiar with barcodes right so you buy a book or you buy product right they got
a barcode on the back right that's a UPC code so what you need to
make is an FN SKU for your amazon product it's the barcode for Amazon
products called offense SKU and to make an FN SKU you need to have a UPC code
okay so you need to purchase a UPC code put it and create a listing create a
product and then that product will be assigned an FN SKU okay and then that
fxq you're gonna send that to your supplier on Amazon so I know it can be
confusing so let's go ahead and just do that right now so we're gonna go to
Amazon now right you're in seller central you signed up for your account
and now you're in your seller central account if you don't how to do that just
go to South Central but Amazon column and sign up so you're need an account
right you get professional individual account so now you're to go into
inventory right you're gonna click add a product and then one your on this page
you're gonna click don't use this what you wanna do actually is click I'm
adding a product not a little Amazon okay so you do that and then you're
gonna have to collect your categories so all you can what you can do is actually
just type in your products so let's say we do the diploma frame pull my frame
search that and then it's gonna show you your most relevant categories right so
doc my frames perfect so a select document from category and
then here's where you're gonna put in your stuff to create your listing right
so your product ID is your UPC code so where do you get a UPC code I'm to keep
this video as short as possible as humanly possible I'm just gonna put a
link down in the description for places that you can get your UPC codes so you
can just grab them right so I'm gonna put one in here then you're gonna go
ahead and click UPC right and then now in this one your product so the name of
the product will is what your name it probably so diploma frame this obviously
is not going to title that we use when we sell Amazon
we're gonna have more keywords in there but we can just put in something simple
because this is actually gonna show up on the fxq when you print it so I just
put diploma frame and then whatever the details it is like 24 24 inches whatever
certificate holder or whatever may be okay brand name is you your stuff JT
cool supplies and then the same is going to be for the manufacturer okay so next
variation if you don't have a variation you have to put that in so variation is
if you sometimes you're an Amazon you'll click on our listing and you'll see
there's like blue red yellow white brown so different color variation size
variations quantity variations right but you don't have anything that for now and
then you're set your price so you set your price that's what everyone say your
price at everybody and all this can change right this is all we're just
setting up the ghost of listing in the next section we will actually fill up
the listing properly but right now we just want to get the fxq okay this it
here is for your own your own internal rank and then you select your formula
it's a filming channel so fulfilled by Amazon so we're doing right now I'm
gonna be a and then just go ahead next and then photos go to skip
Save Changes let's skip that for now and then you're done right so now you can
get this page right and you're gonna click Amazon barcode st. in you okay and
hit this page a dangerous goods any batteries in this no product consider
dangerous good hiders item no right it's a picture frame submit there we go
saving continue and you're done alright so went right into adding crating
shipping client we're gonna go back to inventory and go back to manage
inventory and then that products should be here right so your product is now
here what you want to do is click on this and then click on print item labels
right so you got your ghost if your listing is done it's created so you
should go ahead and print your labels open it up and there you go that is now
your FX q JT cool supplies diploma frame then you can actually change this if you
want to but for the most part just keep it like that
new you can even put made-in-china at the bottom but just download that and
then that's what you can be sending to your supplier and they're gonna know
exactly where do we that but make sure they're putting it all your boxes okay
so that's your FX q it is creative so now we got to talk about this
shipping because you need to send this to your supplier in order before you can
actually initiate shipping right so now that that's done order to do is talk
about air versus sea so your first shipment into Amazon it's getting
exciting what should you do should you send it by sea through the ocean or by
air over the air right so what I'm gonna say is my general rule of thumb okay so
for your first order it makes the most sense to ship it by air okay it is going
to eat into your margins meaning it's gonna cost more money however the speed
is what is the most valuable especially for that first order when you're first
starting out you're testing this product out right to ship especially if in a
smaller unit okay a smaller order well with a with a regular-sized product now
for example say it's like you have for some reason your first product is super
heavy right it's super super heavy and air just doesn't make sense and of
course go by sea but if you're within a regular normal range where you are maybe
just profiting or even breaking even at that first order going by air it still
makes sense because it proves that market for you approve that product for
you it gets it in there fast and it allows you to buy time and then from
your second order go by sea so a ship by air from at first is my always my
suggestion right so if you're doing like 300 to 900 units whatever it is go by
air because see you're really only saving huge amounts of money when you're
in the thousands right a thousand two thousand three thousand units and then
yeah of course she's gonna be saving you a lot of money but if you're saving a
few hundred bucks just to go see and it's gonna take you an extra 35 to 60
days to get there it's not worth it right so first order go by air bite the
cost get there fast start selling that product just so you know it's good
second order if you need to replenish quickly air again and then you can plan
from there okay now this product styling it's
working now I can go by sea and actually have a huge order of inventory save a
lot of money and get it there well the product is still sound Amazon alright so
that's how that's gonna go now we're gonna do is actually go into the
computer again and then show you how to create your
shipping plan here's the project we just made right you're going to click on this
you're going to go to actions and then you're going to go to a send replenish
inventory okay so now we are at send replenish inventory so you're going to
be creating a new shipping plan right ship from is where you're shipping from
so there's a few things you want to know
here if you're shipping it directly from the supplier to Amazon then ship from is
gonna be your manufacturer your suppliers address however there's
another option for for shipping is if you shipped by air you ship it from the
supplier to your own house right and then from your own house you're gonna
send that to Amazon then it would be your own house or if you use a freight
forwarder and then their shipping from the supplier to the freight forwarders
warehouse in the States and then from that warehouse to Amazon then you can
use the freight for warehouse as well okay so whatever however you're going to
ship that's where you put the ship from and then packing is case packed products
that means all everything in this case is the same or individual packet as if I
was throwing you know this camera and the glasses and everything in a box that
would be individual packs so you're gonna do that you can go ahead and click
continue to shipping plan alright so in this page all you got to do is enter the
number of units that you're sending in right so it's gonna have units per case
number of cases so if you're sending in 100 units and you have 50 units per case
and you have two cases and that's all you got to do right so make sure you
guys read on't put it backwards make sure it's correct because it matters
okay so that's done so I'll go ahead press Continue who preps right so
there's a load off and who preps a merchant perhaps because we're doing
that all we know is like what to do it's what we're doing right now so we're
gonna prep it ourselves I'll continue print labels this is gonna give you your
FN SKU but we already did that right so you don't actually need to do that but
you go ahead if you print press print labels right now look at the same thing
and it's gonna have a hundred of them right because that's how many you have
but you're gonna just send that one in to your supplier already so that's good
to go let's continue so now you're gonna review your shipments so now what you
have you can actually name this whatever you want so you can name it just for
your own organizational purposes right so I could call this like diploma frame
if I could spell correctly they'll be better diploma frame right it's going to
give you where you can actually ship this to so we can go ahead and press
approving to continue make sure it's all correct right one SKU so sometimes you
can make a shipping plan for multiple products at one time that's why that's
one you have two cases you have a hundred units I proven continue and at
this point what you're gonna get is actually an address more
we're gonna shit mitt so there you go now you have your ship to address right
so that's what you can actually give to supply if we're gonna send that directly
to Amazon from your supplier that's where this has to go your product is
gonna go to this warehouse in Dallas and that's gonna distribute from there okay
so now what you do is prepare your shipment so review contents right
less'n truckload this is where you're talking about like pallet shipping so
we're gonna keep it on small parcel delivery right and then because I my
ship from address is directly from manufacturer here in China I don't have
the option of UPS or FedEx so you can choose whatever your manufacturer
decides or whoever you're doing each other so if you have a freight forwarder
contact them to to know what you're using here if you're shipping from the
States you just pick this up FedEx right shipment pack packaging so multiple
boxes these webform here and then what they're gonna do it then just confirm
with you the configuration of your boxes right so box wait it's like I don't know
let's just say 20 pounds box dimensions are 12 by 12 by 12 number boxes one
units per box 50 right oh sorry more boxes to you per box box weight
okay good confirm it's done and then you got to go
ahead print your box labels and complete shipment okay so print box labels and
then you're gonna get different labels for your box and then you can send these
right to your freight forwarder and you are done alright so at this point you've
got it you've got to figured out your product if you've been following from
