Small parcel delivery to Amazon
The following requirements apply to all small parcel deliveries shipped to Amazon fulfillment centers.
Boxes preparation
- All small parcel delivery boxes must have shipment labels.
- Do not include messaging on shipment labels or other labels applied on boxes.
- Box dimensions must not exceed 63.5 cm on any side unless the dimension of a single shippable unit exceeds 63.5 cm in itself.
- Each box must weigh no more than 23 kg unless it contains one single oversized item that exceeds 23 kg. Boxes weighing more than 15 kg must be marked "Heavy Package", which must be viewable from both the top and sides of each heavy weight container. Boxes that weigh more than 23 kg must be broken down into smaller shipment weights.
- Shipment labels must be consistently placed in a way that is easy to visually locate, either on the top or side of the box. Side placement is preferred.
- Print the full set of labels. Because each label is unique, do not photocopy, reuse, or modify for use on additional boxes.
- Shipment labels must not be placed on the seam of the box where they can be damaged when the box is opened, which makes the barcodes not scannable.
- Whenever possible, place shipment labels no closer than 3 cm or 1.25’’ from any natural edge of the box, in such a way that the tape used to seal the box does not cover any barcode or critical information.
