FBA shipping to Amazon.
i am a new FBA seller. In starting my research of how to ship to Amazon i found that there were Amazon Hub drop off locations. I thought to myself, oh cool, i can save on shipping and most likely get faster turnaround since it would be Amazon employees picking up the box i prepare. I even ensured the box fit the dimensions of the hub. When i tried to select shipping pickup location i wasnt able to select the hub location and there are several around where i live. I contacted Amazon and spoke to a rep and they advised me that they were only for customer pickups…hmmm. I am sure they cant all be full, plus Amazon people could pickup FBA seller items and put in customer pickup items at same time…Has no one thought or asked about this? It would save us a ton. At approximately $20 a box it adds up.

amazon.ca does not allow you to select the FBA warehouse (that's a USA pay-extra option)
FBA warehouses are huge and designed for transport trucks to deliver to them.
Use FBA partnered shipping through amazon.ca to help keep shipping costs down.

Those are for customer pickups and returns only.
