How the Frustration-Free Packaging Program Works
Designed to reduce packaging waste, costs and damage, and make packages easier to open, Amazon’s Frustration-Free Packaging program requires specific-sized packages to meet certification guidelines. If you currently sell on Amazon or your company is considering it as a future distribution channel, Veritiv can help you achieve this certification.
Since late 2019, all packages fulfilled by Amazon that are larger than 18" x 14" x 8" or heavier than 20 lbs. have required certification. Sellers who don’t meet FFP requirements have been subject to a $1.99-per-unit chargeback by Amazon.
In 2021, Amazon announced additional FFP incentives to attract new certifications and motivate vendors with existing certifications to optimize their packaging even more.
The program can be complex, Veritiv is here to make it easier. Here’s how:
