GS1 Certified UPC Barcodes
Generally, it would take 3 to 4 weeks. It might change depending on several factors.
No. The inventory will not be affected by the ASIN change.
We would not offer this service if we were not confident we could do it. As of 10/13/22 we guarantee the success of your UPC change or 100% money back guaranteed (after 45 days from order without success)
Minimal. There are no impacts to Reviews and BSR.
Labels – We recommend changing your UPC barcodes on your boxes, but you can also simply print Amazon barcode labels (FNSKU oklabels). From our experience, the old UPCs still associate with the ASINs, and still scan into FBA. But as a proactive measure in case this changes, we suggest you update your labels
Inventory – All current inventory at FBA is unaffected.
We will only change the UPC field for this service. Any issues such as a removed or yanked ASIN that needs reinstatement require an additional purchase from our website
We don’t need to take down an ASIN to change a UPC, but there are times when Amazon will create a new ASIN to remove the incorrect UPC from the original listing. We rarely encounter this nowadays. But should this happen, we would just re-list your ASIN with everything intact and a very small chance of 24 hours of downtime.
Yes. We recommend updating labels to new GS1 on next manufacturing run.
No. The old UPC and new GS1 will exist on the same ASIN and both are usable. They can check both in and it won’t cause any stock or inventory issues. Just remember to use the new GS1 barcodes in succeeding manufacturing runs.
Yes. UPC is universal, and changing it in the US market will cause it to update in other markets as well, but the update in other markets may take some time to take effect .
