Choosing own carrier vs using Amazon partnered LTL
Hello,
Shipping a good size shipment of 5 pallets to Amazon. Price has always been reasonable up until now. We are in PA and usually ship to PA or neighboring states. Now we are directed to send to Florida where the cost is just over $3000 for partnered LTL. This same shipment of 5 pallets booked 3rd party LTL with the same carrier is just over $300. Can I just book the shipment through a 3rd party carrier site and choose "non amazon-partnered carrier" on the Send to Amazon screen? Seems egregious to spend 10X more to send through an Amazon partnered carrier. Thanks!
