Picking the right-sized box for what you are shipping is important. Don’t use string, straps, or over-wrap (plastic or paper).Do not use pallet-sized boxes (also known as "gaylords").(For example, open front boxes or boxes without tops.) Do not use open boxes typically used for display purposes.(For example, a coffee maker shipped and sold in its original container.) Point-of-sale containers are part of the product you are selling and typically contain one single unit.
See the Box Dimensions and Box Weight sections below for additional information on box requirements.Īvoiding the following also helps ensure shipments arrive ready for intake to Amazon fulfillment centers: Boxes must not exceed these maximum size and weight requirements: No more than 25.00 inches on any side and no more than 50.00 lb total, unless the box contains an individual oversize item that exceeds these limits.Using boxes with dimensions measuring at least 6 x 4 x 1 inches and weighing at least 1 lb can reduce delays in receiving.The contents should not move when shaken. After you pack your box, shake it gently.Use 2 inches of cushioning between each of your items and the inside of the box.This prevents the incorrect barcode from being accidentally scanned during the receiving process. Cover existing barcodes with opaque tape or use a black felt-tip marker to render the barcode unscannable by crossing out the barcode.If you are reusing boxes, remove all old shipping labels, barcodes, or markings.When shipping multiple case packs in a larger box, apply the unique FBA Box ID shipping label on the outside of the primary box.Each box on the pallet also requires its own unique FBA Box ID label. Each pallet requires four FBA Pallet ID labels, one on the top center of each side.Each box you include in the shipment must have its own unique FBA Box ID label printed from your Shipping Queue.Use a single address label that has clear, complete delivery and return information.Use a rigid, six-sided box with flaps intact.Following these instructions helps ensure shipments arrive undamaged and ready for intake to our fulfillment centers:
