Amazon opens, relocates and retires facilities regularly. Treat this page as a planning reference and use the destination on your live shipment plan in Seller Central as the authoritative routing instruction.
Routing freight from China to SMF3
Direct Oakland service avoids the long-haul truck leg; LA/LB routings add roughly 400 miles of trucking.
On a China-to-SMF3 move we handle factory or warehouse pickup in China, export declaration, the ocean or air leg into Oakland or Los Angeles / Long Beach, U.S. customs clearance, and the booked delivery appointment at SMF3. Because Amazon rarely sends an entire plan to a single FC, the number that matters is the total for the whole plan, not the cost of one destination in isolation.
Upload your FBA labels to our China to FBA quote and booking tool and we read every FC on the plan — including SMF3 — and return one all-in shipment total. You can also compare modes first on the China to US FBA shipping quote page.
Delivery and appointments at SMF3
West Coast fulfillment centers are close to the main Pacific gateways, so after customs release containers are usually devanned near the port and cartons move by short-haul truck. Because the inland leg is short, the delivery appointment at the FC is often the main variable in the final date, especially in peak season when appointment slots fill quickly.
Typical door-delivery windows to SMF3 are 24–30 days port-to-door by sea and 7–10 days airport-to-door by air. Customs inspection, sailing changes and appointment availability can move these dates, so treat them as planning ranges.
Avoiding refused deliveries at SMF3
Most delays at Amazon fulfillment centers come from carton preparation rather than transport. We check dimensions, weights and labels at our China warehouse before loading, but the cartons should leave the factory already compliant with Amazon's inbound requirements:
- Single cartons over 50 lb (22.7 kg) without team-lift marking
- Any carton side over 25 inches for standard-size items
- Missing, damaged or covered FBA box labels — apply labels on two sides
- Carton count or contents that do not match the shipment plan
- Pallets taller than 72 inches or not on 40 × 48 inch pallets
- Missed or rescheduled delivery appointments, which can push delivery back several days
