Ensure you enter the correct “Ship From” address as you will not be able to change your pick-up address after creating your shipment.

This option will be available for small parcel deliveries that meet the eligibility requirements of this service noted above.
Important:
The ‘ship date’ that you select in Step 2 of the Send to Amazon workflow will not impact the date or time that your shipment is picked up. The Amazon Partnered Carrier will follow the pick-up schedule noted below.
