What is the process of transferring warehouses and changing labels for FBA in the United States?
2024-10-14

More and more sellers choose to use Amazon's FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) service to manage their inventory and orders. 

However, during the operation process, sellers may encounter inventory backlogs, products that need to be repackaged 

or relabeled. To solve these problems, many sellers will choose warehouse transfer and relabeling services. This article will

 detail the process of US FBA warehouse transfer and relabeling, and introduce how to optimize the entire operation process

 with the help of third-party service providers such as U-Speed Global Return.


1. Reasons for FBA warehouse transfer and relabeling


Before understanding the specific process, you first need to clarify why sellers need to perform FBA warehouse transfer

and relabeling. Here are some common reasons:


Inventory backlog: Some products are not selling as expected in a certain FBA warehouse, resulting in inventory backlogs.

 In order to avoid the increase of long-term storage costs, sellers will choose to transfer inventory to regional warehouses with better sales.


Label errors or discrepancies: The product label is wrong when entering the warehouse, or Amazon's requirements have changed, 

and the seller needs to relabel.


New market demand: The product was originally sold only in a certain market, and now wants to expand to other markets,

 so warehouse transfer operations are required to get closer to the new market.


Optimize inventory management: Before the peak sales season, sellers may move some inventory from one warehouse to

 another warehouse closer to the main customer base to speed up delivery and improve customer experience.


2. Specific process of US FBA warehouse relocation and rebranding


The operation of FBA warehouse relocation and rebranding involves multiple steps, and sellers need to make reasonable

 arrangements based on actual conditions. The following is a typical operation process:


Step 1: Submit warehouse relocation application


First, sellers need to submit a warehouse relocation application in Amazon's backend system. Amazon will recommend a 

suitable destination warehouse based on factors such as the category, storage location, and logistics planning of the product. 

Sellers need to choose whether to accept Amazon's suggestion or manually select a warehouse according to their own needs.


Step 2: Create a warehouse relocation plan


After confirming the target warehouse for the relocation, sellers need to create a detailed warehouse relocation plan, 

including specific SKU (stock unit), product quantity, target warehouse and other information. At the same time, sellers also 

need to prepare relevant logistics information for the relocated goods so that Amazon can effectively receive them.


Step 3: Pack and transport to the new warehouse


According to the warehouse relocation plan, sellers need to pack the goods and arrange logistics to deliver the goods to the

 designated FBA warehouse. During the transportation process, sellers can choose their own logistics or third-party logistics 

service providers. Ensure that all goods are safe and intact during transportation, especially to protect fragile items.


Step 4: Relabeling after arrival at the warehouse


After the goods arrive at the new warehouse, if relabeling is required, the seller needs to ensure that all labels meet Amazon's

 requirements. If the seller is not on site, you can choose the relabeling service provided by Amazon, or contact a third-party

 logistics company for relabeling. Usually, the relabeling process includes the following steps:


Remove the old label

Reprint and paste a new label that meets Amazon's requirements

Ensure that the new label is correct


Step 5: Quality inspection and re-listing


After the relabeling is completed, Amazon will conduct a quality inspection on the goods to ensure that the labels meet the

 requirements and the goods are not damaged. After passing the quality inspection, the goods will be re-listed and resume normal sales.
