Amazon shipping link and labels
Hello, Could somebody please send me the Amazon link that will explain to me how to send packages and enable me to print Amazon shipping labels.
Our local post office is closing, so is there a way to print the labels and get a courier or the Royal Mail to pick up the package.
I am a small bookseller and am looking for posting alternatives. (FBA would be out of my price range).
Thank you for your time on this matter and I look forward to hearing your replies.

This page will give you information about Buy Shipping, through Amazon directly which you will see in the order page: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/help/hub/reference/G200202280
If you are able to print out labels yourself, then once the shipping is bought a label will be produced, that can be printed on a normal printer or thermal printer.
Royal Mail do offer a collection service which must be arrange on their website and they will even bring a label. At the moment this service is FREE until 31.01.2024 but they may charge in the future.
I feel the easiest option for you would be to buy the shipping directly from Royal Mail and collection is automatically added once you have bought the shipping on their website. You must make sure that you confirm shipping on your Amazon order and the correct service used, plus tracking to prevent any issues going forward.

As a fellow bookseller, I print off my shipping labels from Amazon (and for small parcel size they are 50p cheaper than over the counter at the PO !). You need to click on the Buy Shipping tab, measure and weigh your item, select the type of service you want - you may need to click on the 'see all options' in blue as often they will only show Evri. You then click on buy postage and print off the label, stick to your parcel and take to the PO - though I see you say yours is closing !. You can just pop them in the postbox, but you wouldn't get a proof of posting receipt, so no good if you get an INR claim. Best to take to PO if you can.
The other alternative is to buy from RM online (Click and Drop), same prices as Amazon, and I think RM will collect from your home - you would need to check that out as I am not sure.
FBA is not the best option for small booksellers due to the long-term storage fees .
