How do I create a shipping plan in my SKUdrop account?

Here are the steps to creating a shipping plan to Amazon.


How to Create a Air or Sea Shipping Plan to Amazon (USA/UK) in Your SKUdrop Account


Creating an Air or Sea freight shipping plan to Amazon is a quick and easy process within your SKUdrop account. Just follow the steps below.


🔔 Important:
Before you begin, make sure:


  • Your SKUs have been added to your Dashboard
  • You’ve created and received an incoming shipment into your SKUdrop inventory

You cannot create an outbound shipping plan without inventory in the warehouse.

  • If you want to create an Airfreight shipment you must first select the "Air" toggle, then create the shipping plan.
