What Shipping Supplies Do You Need?
To sell on Amazon, you need to find, or source, items to sell. Then you need to obtain them and prepare them before you put them into a box to ship to an Amazon Fulfillment Center (FC). While it might be tempting to jump right into sourcing products, the inbound (to Amazon) shipping step is critical to your success. High-potential inventory does you no good if it’s sitting in your garage, living room, or warehouse because you do not have the correct supplies to prep and ship them out. That’s why I researched shipping materials and got them ordered before I sourced my first products.
Here is my initial list of equipment and supplies for general-purpose Amazon FBA selling (see below to see which specific products I bought):
Equipment
- Label printer
- Shipping scale
