Amazon sellers no longer need to worry about tracking their FBA shipments. The platform offers comprehensive solutions to monitor your inventory's journey from dispatch to warehouse arrival, including customs clearance status and estimated delivery times.
Amazon's Built-In FBA Tracking Solutions
Amazon provides multiple efficient methods for sellers to track their FBA shipments in real-time:
- Automated Tracking: When using Amazon ShipTrack-certified carriers, tracking numbers automatically sync with your Seller Central account. This provides complete visibility of all transit milestones including departure, arrival, and customs clearance without manual input.
- Manual Upload Option: For non-certified carriers, sellers can manually enter tracking numbers in Seller Central and monitor progress either through carrier websites or Amazon's designated tracking portal.
- Bulk Tracking Tools: Third-party software solutions enable mass tracking of multiple shipments simultaneously by importing tracking numbers in batches, significantly improving operational efficiency for high-volume sellers.
Official Amazon Support for Shipment Tracking
Amazon's platform integrates robust tracking support directly into seller tools:
- Seller Central Dashboard: The "Manage Orders" section displays clear shipment status updates and tracking numbers for all FBA orders, with real-time visibility from "Preparing for Shipment" to "Delivered" statuses.
- ShipTrack Advantages: Certified carriers not only automate tracking but also prevent potential receiving discrepancies due to inaccurate tracking information. The system automatically displays tracking codes in the "Shipment Summary" page while improving Amazon's receiving efficiency.
With these comprehensive tracking options, Amazon FBA sellers can maintain complete visibility of their inventory throughout the fulfillment process, eliminating shipment uncertainties and optimizing supply chain management.
