Your cash is sitting in stock
FBA storage is not free, and Amazon revises its monthly rates regularly. The longer a batch sits in the warehouse, the more it costs you: check Seller Central for the current rates.
You build the shipment in Send to Amazon, the platform assigns a fulfilment centre in Germany, Poland or France, and we collect the boxes in Latvia and deliver them to that address. Latvia is in the EU, so there is no export clearance. And if you would rather not sit on stock inside Amazon warehouses, we can take the order straight to the buyer.
Three reasons an Amazon seller based in Latvia cannot press a single button in Seller Central and forget about logistics.
FBA storage is not free, and Amazon revises its monthly rates regularly. The longer a batch sits in the warehouse, the more it costs you: check Seller Central for the current rates.
The discounted rates and in-app tracking inside Send to Amazon only work where Amazon has opened the programme for your ship-from address, and Latvia is not on that list. A shipment from Latvia travels with your own carrier.
It calls for listings in the relevant stores, storage in at least two countries and VAT reporting wherever the goods sit. Shipping from one location is a way to avoid all of that.

Two steps happen in Seller Central, two are on us.
In Send to Amazon you pick the ship-from address, the marketplace, the SKUs and the packing details. Amazon assigns the fulfilment centre, and the address appears in your shipping plan.
FBA box labels are printed by you, before collection, one per box. Check Seller Central for the current limits on weight, dimensions and labelling.
The calculator compares UPS, FedEx and DPD against the assigned warehouse address. The carrier transport labels arrive as a PDF: print them, stick them on the boxes, and a courier collects the batch from your address.
At the Confirm shipping step you select a non-partnered carrier, give the delivery window and enter the tracking numbers. We hand you a number for every single box.
Four arguments for shipping express from one location instead of spreading stock across half of Europe in advance.
Express reaches many European cities by the next working morning, so anything running low can be topped up fast. You do not have to hold a month of stock and pay to store it.
Latvia is in the EU, so shipments to warehouses in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Czechia and Ireland move inside the single market.
When you ship with your own carrier, Amazon asks for the carrier, the delivery window and the tracking numbers. Numbers are ready the moment you book, and carrier insurance is included.
Amazon assigns the warehouse and the receiving rules, you prepare the goods and print the box labels, we collect and deliver. We do not do prep or FNSKU, and we never promise it.
How we handle batches of boxes, and what of that ends up in your shipping plan.
You submit a whole batch through our Excel or CSV template: copy your box list into it, one row per box with its own weight and dimensions, and the entire shipment is priced in one go.
You print the box ID labels from Seller Central, we return the carrier transport labels as a single PDF for the whole batch, and the tracking number for each box goes into your shipping plan.
Invoices issued to your company, a free REST API for recurring shipments from your own system, a WooCommerce plugin for your store. There is no Seller Central integration, so tracking is entered manually.
We receive your goods and store them free of charge, consolidate a batch out of them and send it to the assigned Amazon fulfilment centre or straight to the buyer. We do not do prep, FNSKU labelling or repacking to marketplace requirements.
Yes, we ship across the EU: Germany, Poland, Czechia, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Ireland. Neither we nor you choose the warehouse: Amazon assigns the fulfilment centre and the address appears in your shipping plan in Seller Central. You drop that address into the calculator, we collect the boxes in Latvia and deliver them there.
No. We are a carrier, not a prep centre: FNSKU labelling, polybags, bubble wrap, bundling and repacking to marketplace requirements are outside what we do, and we do not promise them. The goods and the box labels are prepared by you before collection. At the Riga warehouse we can receive your goods, store them and consolidate a batch, but without preparing the goods to Amazon rules.
A partnered carrier gives you discounted rates and tracking right inside Send to Amazon, but it is only available for ship-from addresses in the countries where Amazon has opened the programme, and Latvia is not one of them. A shipment from Latvia therefore travels with your own carrier — and that is exactly what we are: a third-party, non-partnered carrier. We hold no Amazon partner status.
At the Confirm shipping step you choose to ship with your own carrier, name the service the batch is travelling with, whether UPS, FedEx or DPD, give the estimated delivery window and enter the tracking numbers. You receive a number for each box the moment you book and add it to the shipping plan. Check Seller Central for the current carrier list and window format: the marketplace sets those rules.
This is a choice of model, not a sum with one right answer. Holding goods close to the buyer makes sense when demand is steady and predictable. Shipping from Latvia more often and in smaller batches makes sense when you would rather not lock up working capital in goods that accrue storage fees, and when Pan-EU would drag VAT reporting into every country you store in. Express across Europe lets you top up what is missing quickly.
Enter the weight and dimensions of your boxes and the fulfilment centre address from your shipping plan. UPS, FedEx and DPD prices appear straight away, with no contract and no sign-up.
