Compliance with on-site safety and yard rules: PPE where required, posted speed limits, backing and chocking procedures, use of designated staging / check-in areas, and instructions from yard marshals or security
Cargo Preparation
- Pallets: Standard 40" × 48" GMA wooden pallets, 4-way access, Grade B or better (≈ 1,000 mm × 1,200 mm), consistent with Amazon North America pallet guidelines for Canadian FCs
- Box & Pallet Labels:
- Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated in Seller Central (.ca)
- Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied outside the stretch wrap with barcodes unobstructed and easily scannable
- Wrapping & Stability: Clear stretch wrap; stable, cubic loads with no overhang beyond pallet edges. Use corner boards, strapping, and layer pads where needed to keep loads secure and to protect cartons during transit and handling.
- Floor-Loaded / FCL: Follow Amazon’s North America Floor Loading Policy. Keep SKUs clearly segregated, maintain safe stack heights, and load cartons so that unloading and scanning are efficient. Non-compliant or poorly prepared floor-loads may be delayed, require rework at the shipper’s cost, or be refused at receiving.
- Slip Sheets:. Only where explicitly allowed by current Amazon Canada guidance and confirmed in the Carrier Central appointment notes. Where such confirmation is not available, plan for conventional palletized unloading at YYZ1.
