Shipping Pallet to Amazon without outer cartons, Product package is bubble wrap.
Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.
We are about to send our new products to Amazon but we wanted to make sure if we can stack them on a pallet without using outer cartons. Each unit is labeled with the SKU code and FNSKU barcode. We have imported them with the same setup without any problem. They are oversized and using a case would be extremely costly, reducing the total quantity that can be sent along with the cost associated with acquiring large boxes.
My other question is if you know whether we can send mixed SKUs with the same setup without using outer cartons.
Appreciate your responses.

Hi @Seller_aqnnaB98ZHVJ8,
Dominic from Amazon here, happy to help!
- Follow these guidelines when stacking boxes on your pallet:
- When shipping multiple ASINs on a pallet, physically separate the ASINs so that they are easy to differentiate upon receipt.
- Any guidelines shown on the box packaging must be followed, such as stack height maximums, box orientation requirements, and handling restrictions.
- Build pallets with the FBA box ID labels facing outwards to allow each barcode on the box to be scanned without breaking down the pallet.
- Stack boxes on pallets so that they are stable and flush on all sides. Brick stacking, with heaviest items on the bottom, is recommended.
- For single ASIN pallets, all boxes must be stacked the same way (i.e. horizontal or vertical). Boxes can still be turned in different directions, but they all must be stacked in the same way.
- Pallets ideally have a pack height no higher than 50 inches (45 inches for boxes and 5 inches for pallet) and are stackable, as this is space efficient and maximizes trailer space. Non-stackable pallets cannot exceed 72 inches in height and are less space efficient.
This help page, Seller requirements for LTL, FTL, and FCL deliveries, also has a video on how to build a pallet.
Best,
Dominic
