Yesterday I created a new STA workflow for ~3000 units across 19 SKUs. With a shipment that size it's very common for us to be shipping to 2-3 FCs, not an issue. As most of you have encountered, they're now allowing you to select which region you'd like to have your inventory routed to and approximately how many shipments you'd like to have it divided into. I selected 2-3 as that's what we usually do.

So my shipment was split into two parts. 18 SKUs on one part, 1 SKU on the other. To the same FC.

They want me to create a separate undersized pallet (250 lbs) for a single SKU. But it's headed to the same place as all of the others. I triple checked the address to make sure it wasn't headed for a subsection of that FC or something. Nope. Both shipments headed for ABE8.

I contacted Support to make sure this wasn't a technical glitch and they assured me that it wasn't. Despite the fact that it's a waste of money and resources for absolutely no benefit to anyone. Even by FBA standards, this is pretty stupid. Anyone else encountered this yet?
