Does GEU5 accept USPS FBA shipments?
Does anyone know whether or not GEU5 is accepting USPS shipments? The reason I ask is that we don't have UPS partnered so the cost is much higher than USPS. I wish Amazon would offer more guidance on this issue before allowing us to select all carriers. Thank you for any information.

Hello @Seller_ILajZk9GggLYm
Christine here from Amazon forums.
Amazon Fulfillment Centers, including GEU5, typically do not accept USPS (United States Postal Service) shipments for FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) inventory. Amazon has its own preferred carriers and shipping methods for FBA shipments.
Generally, Amazon requires sellers to use one of the following methods for sending inventory to fulfillment centers:
- Amazon-partnered carriers (which vary by region, but often include UPS in the US)
- Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping
- Full Truckload (FTL) shipping
USPS is not usually an option for FBA shipments to Amazon's fulfillment centers. This policy is in place to ensure efficient processing and tracking of incoming inventory.
I do recommend you to use Amazon's approved shipping methods as outlined in your Seller Central account. These will typically involve creating a shipping plan and using the carriers and methods specified by Amazon for that particular shipment.
Hope you have a great day!
Christine
