# Frequently Asked Questions about Delivering FCL to Amazon

An FCL (full container load) direct delivery to Amazon is only possible if:  

1. You are importing goods via [ocean FCL. ](https://www.flexport.com/help/lcl-vs-fcl/)

2. You were assigned one fulfillment center in Amazon Seller Central when you [created a shipment plan](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-us-shipment-plan/). 

***Note:*** *If you imported goods via ocean FCL but Amazon assigned you* ***more than one fulfillment center****__, you will be using either* [Amazon LTL](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-ltl-setup/) *or* [Flexport LTL](https://www.flexport.com/help/flexport-direct-delivery-ltl-setup/)_. _

3. You have your supplier [label your shipment](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-fba-labeling-requirements/) at origin.  

***Note:*** *If the shipment is not labeled at origin, it will have to be* [transloaded](https://www.flexport.com/glossary/transloading/) *and direct delivery to Amazon will not be possible.*
