What we check before fulfillment center affects a Shenzhen shipment
Three parties touch fulfillment center on an Amazon FBA replenishment into the UK. Most disputes start when everybody assumes somebody else owns a step.
The shipper supplies: the storage location map
The shipper supplies the storage location map. On an Amazon FBA replenishment into the UK we ask for it in a single template, because three different formats from three departments are the usual source of a mismatched file.
We agree this division in writing at booking, not after a charge has appeared.
Our team verifies: the rework record for damaged units
Our warehousing team then checks the rework record for damaged units before the booking is confirmed. We do not file until the values agree with the booking; where they do not, the correction goes back to the shipper with the exact field named.
One named owner per step means a handover cannot fall between two teams.
The consignee / broker confirms: the FBA shipment ID and box labels
The consignee or broker confirms the FBA shipment ID and box labels. We send the same pack we filed from, so a query at destination is answered from the shared document pack instead of restarting the conversation.
The consignee works from the same pack, which removes the usual "we never received it" argument.
A named owner at each step is cheaper than a post-shipment investigation.
Questions importers ask us
Who is responsible for getting this right on a China-origin shipment?
The shipper supplies accurate product, quantity and value data. Hovmar Logistics checks the file before submission and coordinates with the destination broker. We confirm the split in writing at booking.
Can you review our paperwork before the cargo leaves Shenzhen?
Yes. Send the commercial invoice, packing list and intended routing before cutoff and our desk will flag gaps while they are still easy to fix.
