FBA Ship-from addresses
 

This may be in the stealth guide if so let me know, but if you have a stealth account do you need to worry about having FBA shipments shipped from the same general geographical location as your previous account, realizing that they can link accounts based on geographic region? Perhaps this involves a freight forwarding service where you have your supplier ship the product to them, and they ship to the desired FBA warehouse address? Sorry, the more I think about the logistics of it all the more cans of worms that open up!

Same geographic region doesn't matter. Just keep up with all stealth routines to avoid linking and you should be fine.

Never re-use the same address on anything, or any other same information.

Avoid selling the same products, or if you must keep it at a ratio of 15:1 or higher.

Does the same apply for ltl freight ? Use a third party for pick up ?

Re: FBA Ship-from addresses
 

long as you dont use the same exact address in my experience.

Re: FBA Ship-from addresses
 

I dont think location matters. Over the years I have seen many other drop off their FBA shipments before or after me. Meaning we get scanned in the exect same time.

Also curious on FBA pick up locations and if this would link a suspended accounts address.

Lets say your suspended account address is your house where you actually live. If you have a new stealth account address in the same geographical area and set that on the UPS label as the inbound address and you schedule a UPS pickup online with your suspended account address will this pick up address in any way reach Amazon, or is this just for UPS internal systems and their drivers?

Did you ever find an answer to this?

I'm hoping I can do the same thing. Use my new address as the "ship from" on amazon to create the fba labels, then schedule fedex and ups pick-ups from my home (banned) address, independently through my personal accounts.

also, will using the same fedex or ups account to schedule pickups outside of amazon link in anyway? i never gave amazon my acct information for either of these, but scheduled many FBA pickups through them.

1. No I do not believe this does link accounts however, somebody else could confirm this?

2. I would think not as many suppliers ship directly to FBA for their customers so Amazon couldnt use this to link accounts.
