The US FBA preparation change should be handled as a specific destination-store responsibility. A seller sending goods to Canada should check Canadian instructions separately rather than treating a US notice as a Canada-wide rule.
Amazon's US preparation notice explains the discontinued optional prep and item-labeling service. Preparation and label checks belong in the shipment handoff before goods are dispatched.
Assign the preparation work
- Identify who checks the unit packaging, required preparation and item barcode.
- Match the label to the seller store, SKU and intended product or pack size.
- Confirm that carton contents and shipment labels match the selected account plan.
- For expiry-dated goods, verify the applicable date information and its visibility after preparation.
- Keep photographs or other preparation evidence with the shipment record.
Confirm the handoff
Ask the preparation location to report unresolved label or packaging questions before release. The carrier should receive the current destination and shipment instructions, not an earlier draft.
Retain the dispatch and receiving records and investigate any recorded defect against the preparation evidence. Use the applicable store's current process for a correction or reimbursement question. The checklist should make responsibility clear without promising a receiving outcome or treating every destination as identical.
