Shipping to Amazon’s fulfillment centers just got a major upgrade. In 2025, Amazon launched a series of improvements to its “Send to Amazon” workflow aimed at helping sellers reduce costs, streamline logistics, and avoid fulfillment errors.
If you're still using outdated methods or struggling with complex shipping splits, this guide will walk you through what’s new and how to make the most of it.
What’s New in “Send to Amazon” Tools for 2025?
1. Cost Estimations Before You Ship
Now you can get real-time estimates of Amazon’s inbound delivery fees before finalizing your shipments. This helps sellers compare shipping plans and choose the most cost-effective route.
Example: You can test multiple shipping plans (e.g., single vs. split shipments) and Amazon will calculate which is cheaper—helping you avoid hidden costs.
2. Optimized Shipment Splits
Instead of sending inventory to 3+ fulfillment centers, Amazon now uses smart logic to suggest optimized splits—often to just 1 or 2 warehouses based on demand.
Cuts shipping costs
- Reduces misroutes
- Minimizes check-in delays
3. Smarter Workflow & Labeling
The redesigned workflow includes:
Auto-labeling
Updated carton content tools
Built-in error detection before submission
