The Amazon MWS API used to return a carrier name after some time, during the cost estimation process. With the Amazon Selling Partner API, I've waited for over 2 hours, and although the report says that the cost has been estimated, I still don't have a carrier name.

When does the carrier name get assigned?

Here is the reference:

https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/fulfillment-inbound-api-v0-reference#gettransportdetails

I used the SP API to mimic an already existing shipment that had been entered manually, and I need to make sure that all the data is available before continuing.

We specified PartneredLtlData in the transport contents, which got accepted. The transport cost also got estimated.

Should I just stop waiting after a while? I saw the carrier name show up in the Seller Central console on a previous rendition of the same test, quickly after requesting the estimate. Should I call a different operation?

Thank you!

  • A person on Reddit said they had never received a carrier name once, in the past 7 months. Now their comment is gone so I can't even share a link, but that made me file a bug report with the Amazon SP API project on GitHub: https://github.com/amzn/selling-partner-api-docs/issues/2981 – aev Mar 06 '23 at 13:15
  • I waited more than 24 hours and still didn't receive a carrier name in the API response. – aev Mar 06 '23 at 13:18
