Great article. I am looking to ship one of my new products in AWD. Is palletization required for LTL? I have read mixed opinions.

Interesting read. Obviously AWD is the way to go and rates have lowered this year. That is great for the manufacturers. Very well put together article. I really enjoyed looking at the graphs and the differences over time.

In reply to Bryan. I believe it can be a new ASIN.

Great article EcomCrew team. Do you know if I can use the Amazon Warehousing & Distribution (AWD) program to send in *new* ASINs?

Or does it have to be an existing ASIN that I have already sold on Amazon, which will then be replenished when I’m about to go out of stock of that existing ASIN?

Scenario: I’m a private label seller who uses FBA. I regularly ship my products from China to USA using Amazon Global Logistics, and recently I started occasionally using AWD when I can’t ship directly into an FC due to Amazon’s restock limits. My supplier just finished producing an order of a *new* product I haven’t sold on Amazon before. Due to Amazon’s restock limits, I can’t create an FBA inbound shipment directly to an FC. If this were an existing ASIN that I have already been selling on Amazon, I would not hesitate to create an AWD shipment. But because this is a new ASIN, I’m unsure what will happen if I ship it to the US using AWD. It looks like I’m able to create an AWD shipment for this new ASIN, but I’m unsure what will happen when it gets to the Amazon AWD warehouse. Will it just sit there forever, and never be automatically be sent into an FC, because there is no going-out-of-stock trigger to do so given that it’s a new ASIN?

Thank you!
