The size and weight of Amazon products directly affect your fulfillment fee.
This is a factor that must be taken into consideration when designing product packaging and preparing the product. Don’t pay Amazon a few extra dollars just because your package is a little bigger.
Look at the picture and talk.

By comparing with the picture above, you can see at a glance how much fulfillment fee your product should pay. Of course, Amazon’s rules are constantly being updated. As of now (September), they are implemented according to this standard.
The dimensions and weights marked with red lines are a watershed for the fulfillment fee. Once your product is classified as oversize, the fulfillment fee will jump to a higher level. You have to hand over a portion of your already meager profits to Amazon for no reason.
Don't do such things.
Remember these numbers: If your payment exceeds the following number, your fulfillment fee will be skipped.
| Large standard-size | 20 lb | 18 inches | 14 inches | 8 inches |
Compare the oversize charges.
For example:
| Weight (lb) | Dimensions (in) | Fulfillment fee | difference | |
| Product 1 | 2 | 16*13*8.1 | 8.26 | |
| Product 2 | 2 | 16*13*8.0 | 4.76 | 3.5 |
The same product, the same weight, but because of carelessness when designing the product packaging, one of the sides is 0.1in longer, you have to pay an extra $3.5 to Amazon. Are you going to cry?
Let's talk about the product packaging
It's very simple, just remember two numbers:
The weight of a single piece should not exceed 50lb/22.6kg
The length of one side should not exceed 25in/63.5cm
This standard is the requirement for standard size products. If the product you make is oversize, then read the above requirements carefully.
What are the consequences of not following the requirements?
At the very least, it will delay your warehousing progress and cause you to cry during the peak season.
In serious cases, your right to ship goods in the future will be blocked. If you are not even allowed to ship goods, what are you doing at Amazon? This is almost the same as a title.
