UPS address change for FBA shipment
I have created new shipment via UPS air to FBA and I have this shows on shipping plan:
Important: Alternate ship to address required for UPS shipments to TMB8
To avoid possible disruptions, the following ship to address must be used for small-parcel shipments via UPS that are sent to the TMB8 fulfillment center: 8675309 Jenny Lane Miami Gardens FL 33055
While actual address on the box FBA label is Ship to: TMB8 - 27505 SW 132nd AVE 33032-8597 - HOMESTEAD, FL - United States
I'm using the non-partnered UPS option.
There seem to be a lot of threads about this, but have yet to see a clear answer and Amazon has yet to provide me with the answer. Do I simply use the FBA box labels as is, with the address Amazon provided (even though they say do not send them there), then on the UPS label, use the updated address? So, there will essentially be two different address on each box, one on the FBA label and a different one on the actual UPS label.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Alternate UPS shipping addresses for new launch fulfillment centers
Hello @Seller_5vTM5FEFYrdSV. Thanks for that question about an alternate UPS shipping address for TMB8. You can read directions for those locations in our help page above.
If you use a partnered carrier and print labels in Seller Central, we’ll automatically generate shipping labels with the correct, alternate address.
If you arrange your own shipping with UPS, you must print labels with the alternate address. You can continue to use the physical address for the listed fulfillment centers when shipping with other carriers.

Yes, I've read those instructions. However, they do not answer my question. Do I leave the FBA labels as is, with the address that cannot accept UPS deliveries and just change the address for the actual UPS shipping label? Seems odd doing it this way as there will technically be two different address's on each box.

@Seller_5vTM5FEFYrdSV I recommend that you file a support case with your question and shipment details with screenshots of the label. If you share the Case ID I can share it with our partner team for review.

If it is a UPS shipment and Amazon asks me to send it to an alternative shipping address, is it okay if the Amazon box label printing and UPS shipping label do not match?

Are you arranging your own shipping with UPS?

If this does not answer your question, please provide more details about the shipping you are using.

I ended up printing the FBA box labels as is (with the original address), but when completing the UPS shipping labels, I used the alternate address. I hope this is correct. I'll update this thread if the shipment goes awry.
For whatever reason, no one at Amazon has yet been able to answer this, they keep posting instructions about the alternate address and using partnered shippers (which I'm not using). They never address whether it's OK if the FBA box labels are OK with the original address.

I have the same question it is so confusing and they don't even understand the real problem of having two labels one with amazon barcodes and wrong address. One with alternated address without amazon barcodes.

I am questioning this same circumstance. None of my shipments are with amazon carriers. Before I print the labels I just cross out the warehouse address that comes up and write in the new address. Funny thing happens though ups when it arrives corrects the address. To what who knows. Its very confusing I think they punish us for not using their carriers they want us to use and go through their shipping process
