Shipping Pallets using LTL to FBA - Stealth Address?

[nebuspp]

When I am sending pallets to FBA using LTL shipments, what pickup address do I use? The address that I will require Amazon to pickup from is banned. My stealth address is hundreds of miles away.

How do I get an Amazon partnered LTL carrier to pickup the pallets at my banned address? Does Amazon even go as far as to check the pickup address whether it is banned or not? IMO that is pretty deep but you never know...

Please share your experience if you have any! Thanks!

There is an excellent chance amazon will detect where the goods are being picked up from and match the address against deleted accounts.
Your best bet, as I do is use an independent carrier to ship to amazon, may be a little more expensive but you don't want your account suspended as soon as your stock arrives at their FBA centre.

Yes Micky I'd right....

This is what you should do , in your shipping flow get the price quote for LTL... On that screen you will get the shipping company name and price , call that company your self and ask them for quote to ship to amazon and pay them directly amazon will not get your pickup location if shipping is not created with them.... I have done this my self, shipping company charged me $120 more then amazon quote and I was fine with it.

Thanks for your responses!

I am going to do that 1st thing in the morning. I got a quote of around $600 for UPS Freight through Amazon...shocking how much cheaper it is to ship by pallets! I was going to pay around $2500 to ship all of my stuff to Amazon using standard Amazon UPS discounted shipping but figured I would try pallets this time as its more scalable for the long run.

Even if its a few $100 more to get my own freight carrier, I think its well worth staying under the radar. Time to hit the sack...
