What is the best LTL size box to send in product to FBA?
We are scaling our business and are starting to send in LTL shipments for FBA and are trying to understand what size box we should use on a pallet that wont get crushed or smushed?

Unless your products are oversized, the no box can be over 25 inches on any side...and they cannot weigh more than 50 pounds.

Hello @Seller_YFVbu8cS8ofUR, good questions! Here are some highlights from Seller requirements for LTL, FTL, and FCL deliveries for you:
- Boxes containing multiple items (standard or oversized items) must not exceed 25.0 inches on any side.
- Use 40 x 48 inches, 4-way access wooden pallets. Do not ship units on pallets made of weak material such as plastic, cardboard or particle board.
- If a single, large unit cannot fit on a 40 x 48 inches pallet without overhanging the edges, use a pallet size and type that is suitable for the unit.
- 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.
- The overall height of the pallets must allow 6 inches of clearance from the top of the stack to the roof of the container. Allow for at least 3 inches between pallets and walls while in transit by using air bags to ensure stability, non-metal straps, or a safety net to prevent the load from shifting or falling. Allow for at least 8 inches of clearance from the last row of pallets to container doors to engage a dock leveler.
