Troubleshooting
Walmart Seller app
Learn how to use a Walmart preferred carrier for your shipment and estimate the shipping price. For full truckload (FTL) and some less than truckload (LTL), we’ll schedule the carrier pickup for you.
How to set up shipments
Step 1 – Create inbound order
Log into Seller Center and go to the Shipments page, then select Send inventory.
Add expected delivery date, address, items and quantities to create the inbound order. You may see multiple shipments based on your items and quantities. Select Create when you’re done.
For more detail on creating shipments, view Send domestic inventory.Â
Step 2 – Set up shipment
From the inbound order details page, select Set up for a shipment. Or if you want to set up the shipment later, you can always search for a shipment on the page. Then select the 3 dots and choose the Set up shipment option.
Step 3 – Review items
Check the items, quantities and Prep Services you added to your inbound order. You can add up to 6 more units.
Step 4 – Estimate price
In the side panel, confirm Walmart preferred carrier is the carrier. Then choose the freight type and enter packing details.
For LTL and FTL, you’ll also add a preferred pickup date. We’ll use this date to schedule with the carrier, but the actual pickup date may differ based on operational requirements.
Enter packing details for the shipment, including dimensions and weight. Select Calculate price to continue.
For parcel, you can add packing details for multiple items at a time. Look for the Upload in bulk link.
Step 5 – Add contact and operating hours
This step is optional for parcel.
Add contact info for your warehouse. We’ll email the bill of lading to this person, and the carrier may also send updates about the pickup.
For LTL and FTL, you’ll also add operating hours for when your warehouse is open. Make sure these are accurate so we can schedule a pickup with the carrier.
Step 6 – Confirm
Submit the shipment, and we’ll assign a preferred carrier within 24 hours.
What to expect next
For LTL and FTL shipments, your preferred pickup date is the earliest date you can expect the carrier to arrive. We'll coordinate with the carrier and email you a confirmed date. For more on the pickup process, go to Walmart Preferred Carrier: Prepare for pickup.
How to void charges
Once you’ve submitted the shipment, you’ll have a limited window to void the charges and edit: 24 hours for parcel and 1 hour for LTL and FTL.
To void charges, search for the inbound order or shipment on the Shipments page. Then select the 3 dots and choose View order. Look for the Void charges option in each shipment.
