SPD (Small Parcel Delivery) is often the simplest option for sellers sending smaller shipments to Amazon fulfillment centers.
📦 Use SPD When:
Shipping individual boxes
Sending a small number of units
Total shipment volume is low
Pallets are not required
🚛 Consider LTL Instead When:
Shipping multiple pallets
Sending large inventory quantities
Shipment costs become too high with SPD
💡 Advantages of SPD
Easier shipment preparation
No pallet requirements
Flexible carrier drop-off options
Ideal for new sellers and smaller replenishment shipments
✅ Summary
SPD is usually the best option for smaller shipments that can be packed into individual boxes without requiring palletization.
