# Delivering FCL to Amazon: Do I Need a Delivery Appointment?

Yes. All deliveries that aren't with an [Amazon-partnered carrier](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-us-final-delivery-method/) require a delivery appointment, but delivering FCL to Amazon requires a specific type of appointment because it takes longer to unload an FCL container than an [LTL (less than truckload) truck](https://www.flexport.com/glossary/less-than-truckload/). The warehouse generally takes about two hours to unload a full container, and the warehouse only holds a limited amount of these longer appointments in a day.  

Supply your FBA shipment ID information at the time of booking and make sure your [cartons are labeled](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-fba-labeling-requirements/) so that Flexport can secure the appointment in advance.
