FBA Shipment Splits Update 2025: Save Time and Optimize Costs
This change eliminates partial shipment splits, giving sellers two streamlined choices to manage their shipments effectively. Let’s break down what’s changing, why it matters, and how it can save you time and optimize costs.
What’s Changing?
The key update is that Amazon is discontinuing partial shipment splits for standard-size products. Moving forward, sellers will have two clear options:
- Amazon-Optimized Splits This option allows you to ship products to multiple fulfillment centers without incurring placement fees. Amazon will determine the best distribution strategy to ensure faster delivery times and broader inventory coverage.
- Minimal Splits For a placement fee, sellers can opt to send shipments to a single fulfillment center. This is ideal for those targeting specific regions or managing smaller inventory levels.
These changes are designed to simplify the shipping process, ensuring that sellers can make quicker decisions and optimize their logistics with ease.
Why This Matters
Amazon’s new approach to FBA shipment splits brings several advantages for sellers:
- Faster Delivery Times By improving inventory distribution across fulfillment centers, Amazon-Optimized Splits ensures that your products are closer to customers, leading to quicker delivery times and higher customer satisfaction.
- Simplified Decision-Making Sellers no longer need to navigate complex options, such as splitting shipments across 5, 3, or a single location. The two new choices make it easier to plan your strategy and reduce time spent managing logistics.
This update is a game-changer, especially for sellers juggling multiple SKUs and shipment destinations. The simplification of shipment splits means less hassle and more focus on growing your business.
How Proboxx Makes This Easier
At Proboxx, we understand how crucial it is to optimize your FBA shipments. Over the past year, we’ve worked with sellers who required up to nine quotations per order, splitting shipments across multiple locations to find the most cost-effective option. This process was time-consuming and resource-intensive.
With Amazon’s new update, we can now streamline the process significantly. Instead of juggling nine quotations, we’ll cut it down to just six quotations per order. This represents a massive time saver, allowing you to focus on other critical aspects of your business while still achieving the most economical shipping solution.
Our expertise in navigating Amazon’s logistics system ensures that you’ll always have the best strategy in place, whether you opt for Amazon-Optimized Splits or Minimal Splits. By partnering with Proboxx, you’ll benefit from reduced complexities, cost savings, and a smoother overall process.
