Duplicated shipment's tracking # doesn't update on Amazon

When I create a duplicate shipment -- say after canceling the original for using the wrong carrier, the duplicate shipment's tracking number does not get posted to Amazon. So, the customer/Amazon only sees the canceled tracking number, which can hurt seller performance and etc.

This is not an issue for eBay. eBay will show something of "multiple packages" with different tracking numbers.

I've had cases on Amazon where I created a duplicate shipment, the customer doesn't see their tracking number and then angrily message one of our customer service reps. It's yeah.

Not sure how many others have experienced this. I'd imagine it's fairly common.

Hello Amtone Tech and thank you for posting to our community.

Unfortunately Amazon currently restricts updating an order that has already been updated to Shipped in Amazon. This means that once an order has been updated to 'Shipped' in Amazon, any additional actions such as cancelling or duplicating the shipment in ShippingEasy, will not be accepted by Amazon as additional updates.

I encourage you, however, to repost your request in our Feature Request threads - these are monitored by our Product Team and are used to prioritize future development work. If there is enough interest for this change, we will be able to present that to Amazon in an effort to have the restrictions removed.

I don't see an existing thread, so it would be great if you could please start a new thread under this topic: Shipments: Orders, Labels & Shipping

Thank you and happy shipping!

Hi Jacen,

Has this issue progressed?  I had to stumble upon this issue by accident.  Could ShippingEasy at least flag this in the Shipment History so we know to manually update the data in Amazon?

Thanks

Hello Joshua, thank you for posting to our community.

Unfortunately Amazon has not changed their stance in regards to accepting additional updates for orders that have already shipped.

I am happy to forward your suggestion to our Product Team for further consideration however.

I also encourage you to repost your request in our Feature Request threads - these are monitored by our CEO and Product Team and are used to prioritize future development work. If there is enough interest for this change, we will be able to present that to Amazon in an effort to have the restrictions removed.

Thank you!
