# Shipping Notice

Before an order can be placed in the ABOUT YOU shops, you must first ship your stock to our warehouses. Once your items are received, have inventory, and have active prices, they will go live online.

Please note it is crucial that all the products you intend to ship have already been successfully created in the Seller Center beforehand.

To advise us of the products you would like to inbound, please check out our step-by-step guide on how to create a shipping notification. Additionally, please make sure to thoroughly read our delivery guidelines (see attachement below) to ensure a smooth reception at the warehouse.

**Inbound Suggestion Calculator**

You are not sure how many pieces you should advise for your first season? No problem! Feel free to use our custom inbound calculator below. How does it work?

* Tell us how many products you want to onboard (one color variant equals one product).
* Let us know many different sizes on average you have for one color variant.
* Lastly, please estimate how many pieces you can inbound per size.

Please be aware that this is the inbound we would recommend for the first season and thus can still be split into multiple deliveries to our warehouse.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.partner.aboutyou.com/fulfillment-by-about-you/shipping-notice.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
