Amazon "Shipping Profile" vs "Shipping Override Feed" Which One To Use?

Selling on Amazon Marketplace is a great way to increase your revenue. But making sure your pricing is correct is very important as you can easily price something wrong and lose money very quickly. There is a level of confusion as to what the differences are between the Shipping Profile and Shipping Override Feed.

Shipping Profile

The Amazon shipping profile can be found inside your Seller Central account under "Shipping Settings." This area allows you to create price or weight-based rates and then assign those settings to a specific product using Seller Central or by using a category listing feed. This is useful when you have a few shipping options and want to bulk assign your different offers to your products quickly.

Shipping Override

The Shipping Override feed is a separate feed from the category listing feed. This feed allows you to create individual shipping pricing, exact pricing, and allow various shipping types on a product by product basis. This is useful when shipping LTL or if you want more control over each product. But a lot of online sellers don't know how to use these feeds to bulk assign these rates.
