What is a "Pickup Point Order" (Buy shipping is currently unavailable for Pickup Point orders. Please use the previously agreed carrier to ship your product.)
"This is a Pickup Point Order.
Buy shipping is currently unavailable for Pickup Point orders. Please use the previously agreed carrier to ship your product."
I have this banner on the order detail page and do not have a "Buy Shipping" button. I've never spoken to the buyer to arrange anything.
Has anyone ever seen this before? How should I proceed? Note this is shipping to a Whole Foods for their use as equipment/supplies.

Hello @Seller_8s1hiFx7iDc5d

When shipping to Amazon Whole Foods locations as a business/supplier, orders are often processed as "Pickup Point Orders" which use Amazon's internal logistics network rather than traditional shipping methods. This is different from regular Amazon seller fulfillment.
Here's how you should proceed:
If this is your first time shipping to Whole Foods:
- Contact Amazon Seller Support to clarify the correct shipping process
- Ask them to provide you with the specific carrier information for Whole Foods deliveries
- They may need to link your account to their internal delivery network
Common carriers for Whole Foods equipment/supplies are typically:
- Amazon Freight
- Amazon's preferred regional carriers
- Sometimes specific contracted carriers
Important points:
- Don't ship this via standard carriers without confirmation
- You shouldn't need to arrange shipping directly with the buyer
- The shipping method should be pre-determined by Amazon's system
I'd recommend:
- Contact Seller Support immediately
- Have your order number ready
- Specifically mention this is a Whole Foods equipment/supply order
- Ask them to provide the correct shipping procedure
This is a specialized fulfillment process and it's normal to need clarification the first time you encounter it.
Hope you have a great day !
Christine.
