Dive brief:
- The company said on its website: Amazon uses Prep Services and labeling on January 1, 2026 for transportation in the United States, which has been announced on its website using e -commerce realization services.
- This change is applied to the United States Amazon services for all the inventory submitted by Amazon services, directly or through other Amazon supply chain offers. The company said all products must be prepared and tagged before sending them to Amazon.
- Amazon still provides services for cargo created before January 1, but the cargo created after preparation and proper labeling is not eligible for repayment if damaged or unattractive.
Dive insight:
Amazon said he initially introduced preliminary services, which include labeling, bubble packaging, stickers and bags to help protect products and prevent damage during the transportation process. Over time, the packaging capabilities of the sellers have improved and reduced the need for Amazon Amazon offers, according to the company.
“The vast majority of Amazon sellers now run their packaging, including labeling and items, or alone, through their production partners or through third -party service providers who allow the FBA to focus on providing a faster and more efficient realization center,” Amazon said.
Amazon offered two options for sellers who need to transfer to other labeling services and things. One is to do it themselves and use the company’s guidance to provide products to the Amazon. Another option is to use a third -party service provider.
Amazon also said that sellers can enter the company’s ships in the product packaging program for qualified products that can reduce preparation needs.
“This is one of the most important operational changes in Amazon in recent years,” said Charles Williams, senior operations manager for Marketplace Operation at Omnichannel Blue Wheel. “It will be important to maintain a clear filling and avoid problems with adaptation next year.”
The next steps for damaged sellers include audit catalogs for SKU that rely on Amazon for preparation or labeling, updating the workflow and setting up FBA transportation processes before time to prevent disruption, Williams said.
