Sometimes, you realize that you need to change something, reduce or increase the number of units, or even update the delivery window to keep your account in good standing. Whatever the reason, I\u2019m going to walk you through how to <strong>edit, cancel, or delete a shipping plan<\/strong> so you can fix any issues you encounter.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You May Need to Edit or Cancel a Shipping Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Some common reasons for modifying or canceling a shipping plan include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changing the number of units to be sent in.<\/li>\n<li>Updating the <strong>delivery window<\/strong> (especially important given Amazon\u2019s recent changes to inbound shipping requirements).<\/li>\n<li>Correcting mistakes in box content or shipment details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to keep your delivery window accurate. If your shipment doesn\u2019t arrive within the specified window, it can negatively affect your account health.<\/p>\n<h2>Editing a Shipping Plan<\/h2>\n<p>The options you have for editing a shipping plan depend on what stage you left off in creating it.<\/p>\n<h3>If You Haven\u2019t Completed the Shipping Plan<\/h3>\n<p>If you started the shipping plan but didn\u2019t finish all the steps (e.g., abandoned it halfway), you can still make changes.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Go to Manage Inventory Page<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Head over to your <strong>Manage Inventory<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n<li>From the dropdown next to your product, select <strong>Send\/Replenish Inventory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Access Active Workflows<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the top, click <strong>Active Workflows<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll see a list of all the workflows you\u2019ve started, along with the last modified date.<\/li>\n<li>Find the shipping plan you want to edit, then click <strong>Switch to This Workflow<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Edit the Plan<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ll be taken back to where you left off, and you can make the necessary changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>If You\u2019ve Completed Step 2 (Accepted Charges and Confirmed Shipping)<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve already clicked on <strong>Accept Charges and Confirm Shipping<\/strong>, you\u2019ll have more limited options for editing.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Go to Shipment Queue<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Inventory &gt; Shipments<\/strong> to find your shipment.<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Work on Shipment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Edit Shipping Details<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can enter a <strong>tracking number<\/strong> if you haven\u2019t already.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change shipping carrier<\/strong> or update the <strong>delivery window<\/strong>. This is crucial to avoid any negative impact on your account health if your shipment arrives outside the specified window.<\/li>\n<li>You can also update the <strong>shipment details and boxing configurations<\/strong> in Step 3, such as:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Print box labels<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edit box size, weight, and content<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjust the number of units being shipped<\/strong> (but only up to <strong>5% or 6 units<\/strong> per SKU per shipment, whichever is greater).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Pro Tip:<\/h4>\n<p>Name your shipments something identifiable (e.g., <em>Can Openers &#8211; 10 units<\/em>) rather than leaving the default workflow name Amazon assigns. This makes it easier to manage multiple shipments.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Canceling or Deleting a Shipping Plan<\/h2>\n<p>There are several scenarios where you might need to cancel or delete a shipping plan:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Changes Beyond Editable Options<\/strong>: If you need to modify something that isn\u2019t editable, canceling might be your only choice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freeing Up Storage Space<\/strong>: Unused shipping plans tie up your available storage capacity. This can prevent you from creating new shipments if you\u2019re near your storage limits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>How Unused Shipping Plans Affect Storage Space<\/h3>\n<p>Whenever you create a shipping plan, Amazon allocates your available storage space for the units specified in that plan. Even if you don\u2019t use the plan, the space is reserved until you <strong>delete or cancel<\/strong> the shipping plan.<\/p>\n<p>To check your storage limits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the bottom of the <strong>Shipping Queue<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll see <strong>Storage and Restock Limits<\/strong> grouped by product tier (e.g., Standard Size, Oversized).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you run into storage limit issues when creating a new plan, go back and cancel old unused shipping plans.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>How to Delete a Shipping Plan<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Navigate to Shipment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to <strong>Inventory &gt; Shipments<\/strong> and find the shipping plan you want to cancel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Delete the Plan<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click on <strong>Work on Shipment<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll to the bottom and select <strong>Delete Shipment and Charges<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Shipping plans will automatically expire and be marked as <strong>Closed<\/strong> after 90 days. You won\u2019t be able to make changes to closed plans.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Pro Tip:<\/h4>\n<p>If a shipping plan is closed but the shipment is still on its way, don\u2019t worry! Amazon will still receive the shipment as long as the shipping labels are valid.<\/p>\n<h4>For Partnered Carrier Plans:<\/h4>\n<p>If you used the <strong>Partnered Carrier Program<\/strong>, canceling the shipment within <strong>24 hours<\/strong> will refund the shipping charges. If more than 24 hours have passed, the charges won\u2019t be refunded.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re making adjustments, freeing up storage space, or completely starting over, knowing how to manage your shipping plans effectively is a vital part of keeping your Amazon FBA business running smoothly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shipping"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/maxresdefault-13.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":199,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions\/199"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentkao.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
