Amazon Now Offers Labeling Service for FBA

Amazon is expanding its services to help support the FBA seller. The recently announced FBA Label Service can help simplify sending in your products for Amazon fulfillment. Any item that does not qualify for Stickerless, Commingled Inventory and/or has a barcode qualifies for this service. For the fee of 20 cents per item, Amazon will label your products once they are received in the warehouse.

This could be a good option if you do not have a laser-printer readily available, are all out of labels, or have a large shipment but not the time to label each item. This may really work for you if labeling your items for shipment is a part of the process you really do not love.

With a large shipment, it will save a lot of time. With this service, you will not need to label each print out the labels and sticker each item before shipment. While this may cut into your profit margin, the time savings may be worth it.

This service is a huge time saver at home. But don't expect Amazon to move quickly to label your shipment. The box I sent last week has been "in-transit" for 9 days now even though UPS shows it arrived 8 days ago. grrr...

Although I don't have a laser printer, I print my labels on my inkjet printer and spray them with a fixative that I get from the art supply store. This seems to do the trick for me.
