NEW SELLER - can I deliver inventory to an amazon center?
I'm trying to be a FBA seller. My inventory is heavy and a little fragile when shipping all together. I would prefer to drive there and hand deliver. It would be more cost effective than shipping as well.
Am I able to drive to a center to deliver my inventory?

No, you can't deliver yourself.
And if your items are fragile enough that you are worried, be aware that they will NOT get delicate handling when shipped; you need to package them such that they can survive being thrown and landing from a height of 3'.

"Am I able to drive to a center to deliver my inventory?"
Only if you spend thousands of dollars establishing yourself as a commercial shipping company complete with all the licenses, insurance, and trucks.
You won't even get past the guard booths if you try.
@Seller_nRFmxiQg4EGrwis correct on all counts BUT is a bit optimistic on the "height of 3'. "
Prepping packages
Prep them like you want the buyer to receive them in one piece --
Whatever you need to do so they are protected from being thrown off the Empire State Building AND being run over by a forklift.
In addition, Amazon has gone 'minimalist' in packaging for shipment. My last several shipments came in plastic bags. One was the package of socks (as sold in stores) with just the shipping label stuck on it.
At least the mail man didn't laugh at my choices. I'm considering buying some thongs next time just to get a chuckle out of him.

You need to be an established LTL/FTL company to do that, even then you need to set up an amazon carier account to set up a delivery appointment.
