What is Amazon LTL Shipping?
LTL stands for less than truckload. There are two types of container shipments. LTL and FTL shipment. In FTL, you acquire a full container, while in LTL, you acquire a space. LTL is a COST-EFFECTIVE logistics solution for small Amazon sellers.
In LTL delivery, the Agent gets a full container and merges many LTL Deliveries in the same container. Every Amazon seller only gets charged for his space. Small parcel carriers don’t process medium-sized shipments with heavy items. LTL is the best SOLUTION for them. Professional carriers organize shipments in double-stacked pallets or single pallets.
How does Amazon LTL Work?
So there are two ways to process Amazon LTL shipment.
- Amazon partnered carrier
You request LTL shipment to Amazon partner carriers through Amazon. Amazon arranges the carrier and looks after the shipment process. Items get TRANSFERRED to Amazon fulfillment centers and are ready to sell.
Amazon’s partner carrier comes with limitations. Also, it is more expensive than your own logistics partner. Yet, it is convenient and has REAL-TIME tracking.
- Own logistic partner
You have to find your logistic partner through B2B marketplaces or recommendations. You share your shipment and supplier’s details. Share your Amazon REFERENCE IDs for shipment labels.
He arranged a SPACE in a shared container and merged your shipment. Your logistic partner manages all the transport, paperwork, & customs. Some logistics partners also provide real-time tracking.
