For the e-commerce industry, each platform has different packaging standards for goods. Therefore, when sellers choose to settle on different platforms, they must first understand the relevant regulations of the platform to avoid unnecessary Loss, so today, the editor will first take you to understand the Amazon warehouse’s weight standards for single boxes of goods, let’s take a look.
We all know that the Amazon platform is divided into many sites, and the standards of each site are also different. As far as we are familiar with the Amazon European site, the single box weight limit standard has been adjusted once before , adjusted from the original 30kg per box to 23kg per box. Merchants need to note that if they do not adjust the weight of the warehousing single box in accordance with the requirements of the Amazon platform, they may face the following consequences:
1 , the product is rejected by the Amazon fulfillment center, or the inventory is discarded or returned.
2. No more shipments can be sent to the operation center in the future.
3. Charge a certain fee for some additional packaging or unfinished pre-processing work
With the spread of the epidemic in the past two years, Amazon Europe has adjusted again Warehousing regulations stipulate that boxes exceeding 15kg will not be warehoused.
Since the epidemic, all countries have adopted the “1 meter social distancing” standard. If the weight of a single box exceeds 15kg, it requires two employees to lift it, which increases the risk. Therefore, during the epidemic, Europe Sellers on the website must pay attention to keeping each box of goods within 15kg as much as possible, otherwise they may be rejected.
And for FBA, its regulations are as follows: the box must not exceed 50 pounds, which is the standard of 22.7kg, unless your box contains an item, and the weight of this item It exceeds 22.7kg. If it exceeds the 22.7kg standard, you need to put an overweight label on and around the box.
For other oversized items, such as a single item weighing more than 100 pounds, “mechanical lifting” must be clearly indicated on the top and sides of the box.
The above is an explanation of Amazon’s relevant regulations on the warehousing weight of a single box. I believe everyone will have a certain understanding after reading it. Friends in need can refer to the following, especially sellers who have settled on the Amazon platform or have already Before starting operations, you must keep abreast of the relevant policy adjustments of the platform and change your own cargo packaging standards in a timely manner.
