Amazon forcing FTL shipment to be split up and still pay placement fees
We are sending 12 pallets to Amazon, our settings are set to Minimal shipment splits/East.
But Amazon has split the load into 4 FC's and also making us pay placement fees. This is not cool.
How are we supposed to do FTL??

Greetings @Seller_xGoCZWi4ciH8M,
Thanks for posting, I'm happy to provide some additional information. Inbound placement options will be provided only when your shipments qualify. Factors that affect the number of inbound options include the following:
- Whether your shipment includes a mix of standard-size items, non-standard-size items, or special handling categories
- Whether each box contains the same mix and quantities of SKUs
- Quantities and number of boxes for each item
- Geographical demand
To maximize the number of inbound options, try the following:
- Create separate shipments for standard-size items, non-standard-size items, and each special handling category
- Ensure that the item mix and item quantities are equal across all boxes
- Increase the number of boxes
For more information, go to "2024 FBA inbound placement service fee.
Let me know if you have any questions!
- Bryce
