Build an FBA inbound shipment

Turn stock on your shelf into a submitted FBA inbound shipment — products, boxes, box labels, and receipt tracking, all in one flow.

What this does

Sending stock into FBA means telling Amazon what's coming, packing it into boxes, labeling each box, and then watching it get checked in. Rilk walks you through all of it from your own catalog, so the units you send show up as FBA stock the moment Amazon receives them.

The point: build the whole shipment in one place — no bouncing between a packing spreadsheet, Seller Central, and your label printer.

The three steps

Everything starts on Orders → FBA Shipments → New, where you begin a new inbound shipment.

1. Add what you're sending. Pick the products and enter the quantity of each. Rilk pulls them from your catalog, so you're choosing real SKUs with real stock behind them — not retyping a list.

2. Assign units to boxes. Lay out how the shipment is physically packed, including multi-box case packs where the same product fills several identical cartons. You'll see each box and what's in it before anything gets labeled.

3. Print box labels and submit. Rilk generates the FBA box labels and sends them to your thermal printer, ready to stick on each carton. Submit the shipment and it's on its way to Amazon.

Track receipt

Once the boxes are in transit, the shipment stays on your FBA Shipments list with its status. As Amazon checks the units in, you'll see received counts update against what you sent — so you know exactly what landed and can spot any shortfall early.

What you'll end up with

• A submitted inbound shipment Amazon is expecting.
• FBA box labels printed and matched to how you packed.
• Received quantities tracked against sent quantities as check-in happens.
• FBA stock that shows up in your inventory the moment it's received.

TIP

Have your thermal printer connected before you start, so box labels print straight from the shipment instead of saving to a file first. See Connect a shipping carrier for printer and carrier setup.
