Operational Specifications for BLR5

• Booking and Hours

  • Appointments: Required via Carrier Central; only registered/professional carriers can create or manage dock appointments for India FCs.

  • Operating Window: Multi-shift operation over seven days; exact dock receiving hours are not publicly specified and follow the slot confirmed in your Carrier Central appointment (may vary by day and load type).

• Receiving Hours

  • Mode: By appointment only (India Standard Time, local time), aligned to your confirmed Carrier Central slot.

• Vehicle Requirements

  • Carrier Profile: Active carrier profile and confirmed Carrier Central appointment are mandatory.

  • Dock Access: Dock-high, rear unloading at a standard bay (no side unloading or ground-level hand-unload at the dock).

  • Typical Inbound Equipment:

    • 32–40 ft enclosed rigid trucks and trailers commonly used on the Bengaluru–Hoskote corridor, loaded to permit pallet-truck or forklift access and safe unloading.

  • Driver Documentation & Conduct:

    • Driver must present BOL/manifest and Delivery Challan / Stock Transfer Note together with the appointment reference.

    • Driver must follow all on-site safety, PPE and yard-movement rules communicated at the gate or by yard staff.

• Cargo Preparation

  • Pallets:

    • Standard four-way access wooden pallets of approx. 1200 mm × 1000 mm, as per Amazon India LTL / truckload delivery guidance.

    • Pallets must be sound (no broken boards or exposed nails), with cartons kept within the pallet footprint and typically limited to around 1.5–1.6 m total height and 1,000 kg gross weight unless otherwise agreed.

    • Pallets are non-exchange; plan your packaging and carrier pricing on the basis that pallets remain at the FC.

  • Box & Pallet Labels:

    • Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central India (amazon.in marketplace) for the shipment; remove or cover any other visible barcodes.

    • Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap, fully scannable at ground level and matching the Ship-to FC code BLR5.

  • Wrapping & Stability:

    • Clear stretch wrap securing every layer; no overhang beyond the pallet footprint.

    • Use corner boards, straps or additional wrap for tall, heavy or fragile loads to prevent collapse during transport and unloading.

    • Clearly mark heavy cartons according to India inbound acceptance guidelines so that “heavy” warnings are visible from the sides and top where required.

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • When shipping floor-loaded containers for rework to BLR5 via local partners, follow Amazon’s India fulfilment centre inbound shipment acceptance guidelines on carton weight, stacking patterns and unloadability.

    • Note “floor-loaded” and any special unload requirements in your Carrier Central appointment; non-compliant floor-loaded cargo may face extended unload times, rework charges or refusal.

  • Slip Sheets:

    • Only to be used where explicitly permitted in current Amazon India FBA guidance and pre-agreed in the Carrier Central appointment; otherwise, plan on standard palletised deliveries.
