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 standard size box should weigh no more than 23 kg and each oversize box should weigh no more than 30 kg. Boxes weighing between 15 kg and 30 kg must be marked "Heavy Package" (viewable from both the top and sides of each heavy-weight container).
- 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.
Guidelines for carriers
- Only professional carriers are allowed to make delivery appointments with Amazon fulfillment centers. Amazon does not allow general public deliveries.
- Carriers must adhere to our delivery requirements and safety standards.
- All carriers need to supply evidence that goods were handed over to the designated Amazon fulfillment center. Proof is provided by a time stamp for drop-off at Amazon premises and the signature or name of an Amazon employee.

If you are using an Amazon-partnered carrier, you must enter the dimensional data for your small parcel delivery boxes. These dimensions are used to calculate dimensional weight, which can be used to determine fees if the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight.
