When you create your Shipping Plan to send items to Amazon, the system determines the right Amazon distribution centre where you can ship your products. Please, keep in mind that your shipments will be, by default, split between multiple fulfilment centres. In this way, the delivery times are cut-off, which is of paramount importance for Amazon Prime deliveries. That is why the sellers can’t choose a preferred Amazon fulfilment centre location to store their goods.
When storing items in Amazon FBA in Europe, shipping to different addresses is possible. You can organise the transportation of goods from the supplier location to the Amazon FBA centres through Eurosender.
Amazon does not allow sellers to drop off their products at the fulfilment centres. Even though you may work close to a fulfilment centre, sellers cannot choose which FBA location they want their goods to be stored in. Only approved shipping companies can make appointments to deliver to Amazon fulfilment centres. Eurosender cooperates with different logistics providers who are authorised to ship to Amazon fulfilment centres in Europe.
Proper packaging and preparing units help to avoid delivery delays, protect your products while stored in Amazon fulfilment centres, and create a better customer experience. If you decide to use the FBA Prep Service, Amazon will prepare your eligible products for a per-unit fee. After you enable the service, you will be able to choose whether you or Amazon will prepare the products you send to fulfilment centres. When you build your shipping plan, Amazon will provide an estimate of the prep fees based on the expected services for the selected products.
Amazon has a detailed list of requirements for packaging shipments. You can read them all here. You may also check the packaging guide prepared by Eurosender team to make sure your goods will be secured during the shipping.
To better manage the storage space in the Amazon fulfilment centre, for the products to be received and shipped to buyers faster, some limits can be applied to your inventory. Storage limits are based on volume (measured in cubic feet) and are set for each storage type. Your current and potential storage limits and usage are shown on the Storage Monitor display, which you can view in your Inventory performance dashboard and Shipping Queue.
Some goods are prohibited from being stored in Amazon FBA despite the fact that they are eligible for sale on Amazon.

The Amazon cross-border shipping after Brexit is still possible, but the transportation costs will be higher. As it is not Amazon putting barriers for trading with the EU, but instead the UK and the European Union, shipments will now have to go through customs duties and pay the applicable import fees.
Many sellers will consider hiring a customs broker to undertake the Amazon customs clearance procedures after the Brexit transition is over. Many products travelling from and to the UK from Amazon will have additional charges after 1st of January 2021 due to the customs fees. You can check the UK tariffs here and what these tariffs apply to.
Buying from Amazon UK after Brexit for people from the Republic of Ireland may not be the most convenient in regards to customs. However, as an alternative, you can reach to any other European Amazon website, like Germany, for example, to avoid the extra charges.
On the other hand, Irish people from Northern Ireland can still buy goods from Amazon UK after Brexit with no issues.
