Amazon GLobal selling - Reducing shipment cost from India to US
When FBA shipments are created for number of products, Amazon splits it into number of warehouses accross the nation. Since we are shipping from India, the cost of shipping is better if all boxes go to east coast or to west cost. But since the boxes in a shipment are being distributed to warehouses near both the coasts our shipment cost is coming prohibitively high.
Also the carriers which we are dealing with, serve east coast only. Is there a way to make a shipment for warehouses near west coast only?

Hi @Seller_Oe1rLCz5BiMPi,
Thank you for reaching out with this question!
When you create a shipping plan, you can select one of the following inventory inbound placement options:
- Minimal shipment splits: You can send your inventory to the minimal number of inbound locations, generally to a single location, for a fee, and we will decide on your behalf how to place the inventory across our network. The fee may vary by inbound location—for example, there may be higher fees for shipments sent to locations in the West versus other parts of the country. For more information on this fee, please read through this help page.
- Partial or Amazon-optimized shipment splits: You can send your inventory to multiple inbound locations yourself for a reduced or no fee.
Please note that the availability of these inbound placement options is based on several factors, including the product types and quantities that you have in your shipping plan, your existing inventory levels across our network, and the location of customer demand.
I hope this helps clarify! If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
All the best,
Jameson
