    • Closed on Sundays (per India FBA shipment preparation manual for SBOB; always verify current hours in Carrier Central, as local practices can change).

• Receiving Hours

  • Mode: By appointment only (India Standard Time), strictly aligned to your confirmed Carrier Central slot and the published 10:00–19:00 operating window.

• Vehicle Requirements

  • Carrier Profile:

    • Active carrier profile and a confirmed Carrier Central appointment are mandatory for all inbound loads.

  • 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 operating on the Mumbai–Nasik Highway / Bhiwandicorridor, loaded to permit pallet-truck or forklift access and safe unloading.

    • For heavy and bulky (H&B) items, ensure equipment and loading pattern allow safe handling of long, oversized or high-mass units.

  • Driver Documentation & Conduct:

    • Driver must present BOL/manifest and any required Delivery Challan / Stock Transfer Notetogether 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, in line with Amazon India LTL / truckload delivery guidance.

    • Pallets must be structurally sound (no broken boards or protruding nails), with cartons kept fully within the pallet footprint.

    • Typical India working limits: around 1.6–1.66 m total pallet height and up to ~1,000 kg gross weight per pallet, unless otherwise agreed in advance.

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

  • Box & Pallet Labels:

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

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

  • Wrapping & Stability:

    • Use clear stretch wrap to secure every layer; no overhang beyond the pallet footprint.

    • Add corner boards, straps or extra wrap for tall, heavy or mixed-SKU pallets to prevent shifting or collapse during transit and unloading.

    • Clearly mark heavy cartons according to India inbound acceptance rules (commonly using a threshold around 22.5 kg) so that “heavy” warnings are visible from multiple sides and on the top layer where required.

  • Heavy & Bulky (H&B) Loads to SBOB:

    • SBOB is designated as an H&B (heavy and bulky) site for the Mumbai cluster.

    • India FBA guidance for H&B lanes into SBOB includes:

      • Maximum box stack height in the truck of around 3 metres, and

      • Individual box weight limits per layer (for example, Level 1 on the truck floor typically limited to about 85 kg per box, and Level 2 boxes stacked on top limited to a lower weight).

    • Exact H&B tolerances can change; always check the latest Seller Central India documentation for SBOB and ensure your loading pattern and packaging comply before tendering cargo.

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • When routing floor-loaded containers or trailers (particularly for heavy and bulky items) destined for SBOB, follow Amazon’s India fulfilment centre inbound shipment acceptance guidelines on carton weight, stacking stability and unloadability.

    • Clearly note “floor-loaded” and any special unload requirements in your Carrier Central appointment; non-compliant floor-loaded shipments may experience extended unload times, rework charges or refusal at the dock.

  • Slip Sheets:

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