Can the FBA warehouse result in linking?
 

I reuse packaging to package/insulate my FBA box shipments. The packaging has my old address on it from my suspended accountant.

I had normally cut out the address part of the package as a precaution but believe this may be unnecessary. Its also very time consuming.

Do you think the FBA warehouse team that receives / processes FBA shipments may investigate the packaging I used (which has my suspended address on it) and link my old account?

I doubt it,they are not Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah unlikely to cause an issue but no point in taking the risk when you can use a marker or tape to conceal it better

I receive thousands and thousands of plastic / envelope package deliveries to my (suspended) address. Maybe 8000 per year. Each package has a 5 x 5" sticker of my (suspended) address.

Normally I would cut out the sticker with scissors and re-purpose the packaging as filler/stuffing for boxes of inventory I ship to Amazon FBA so its cushioned and not damaged in transit.

However, the time consuming labor to do conceal the address on this packaging is enormous and want to find a faster solution. The FBA team simply opens receiving FBA inventory, scans the SKUs of the inventory and adds it to your inventory. I dont think they have seller performance commissars patrolling the receiving docks trying to find evidence like this.

Whats the worst that can happen? An FBA worker pulls out all the extra packaging and throws it in the garbage. I dont think they would investigate the address on it. Or do you?

I also refuse to buy any sort of bubble wrap or "filling" to package/cushion FBA boxes. Its essentially buying garbage.

Considering the workers in the FBA warehouse are on minimum wage or atleast very close to it, they are not going to do any sort of report on your address.

No its not going to cause links.

No, you shouldn't worry about it. THey won't bother.

FBA workers have no idea if you have been suspended or not,it is not their job to find out,even if they are curious,how would they go about looking up your old and new account?
You know a FBA worker in AMZN Brooklyn warehouse has the virus,they have to send everyone home with pay and santise the warehouse?
question,how do they do it,it must be a huge warehouse?
