We’ve reduced the maximum length requirement for multi-item standard boxes to 63.5 cm for Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) shipments in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. This change helps us receive your inventory faster in our fulfilment centres.
The box dimension requirements are now as follows:
If you send boxes with non-compliant dimensions, your shipment may be refused or incur unplanned service fees.
This change only applies to new shipments. Existing shipments already in our fulfilment network won’t be affected.

Similar to previous years, we’ll temporarily extend our standard returns window for holiday sales in our European stores to give customers the confidence to shop early and help you increase your sales.
Our 2025 extended Christmas returns window allows most items purchased between November 1, 2025 and December 25, 2025 to be returned until January 31, 2026, or within 30 days from delivery, whichever is later.
The extended returns window applies to all Fulfilment by Amazon, Fulfilled by Merchant and Amazon Retail orders in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Belgium and Ireland, with the following exceptions:
While the returns window is extended, all standard return eligibility criteria remain unchanged.

Variable voucher fees will be capped at £200 per voucher for vouchers created on or after November 5, 2025. While the £2 upfront fee per voucher will stay the same, we’re also lowering the variable rate from 1.5% to 0.75% . We’re making these changes before Black Friday and Cyber Monday to help you plan your holiday campaigns with confidence.
In March 2025, we announced new promotion structures to help you test different promotional strategies. We heard that the updated voucher structures made it difficult to predict costs, so we made this change to provide you with greater predictability and transparency.
Vouchers created before November 5, 2025, won’t be eligible for the new voucher variable fee cap. For your current vouchers to receive the new cap voucher variable fee, we recommend that you deactivate them and create new vouchers on or after November 5, 2025.
To learn how to deactivate your vouchers or create new ones, go to Create a voucher.

Effective from August 12, 2025, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements apply for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) sold in the UK. This is in addition to the existing EPR requirements for packaging, which have been in effect since January 1, 2025, with 2025 fees calculated using packaging tonnages reported for 2024 and local authority waste management costs.
Both regulations require us to assume EPR obligations for the Amazon.co.uk sales of sellers who aren’t established in the UK. We use your registered business address (RBA) in Seller Central to identify your place of establishment for EPR purposes.
If your registered business address in Seller Central isn’t in the UK, you’ll be automatically enrolled in our EPR Pay on Behalf service for each applicable category. This service calculates and pays eco-contribution fees for your sales, then debits those amounts from your selling account, along with an annual service fee of GBP 20 for each of the EPR categories that you sell in, in accordance with the EPR Pay on Behalf Policy for Third-Party Sellers.
For more information about EPR requirements in the UK, including reporting obligations and the definition of “producer”, go to Extended Producer Responsibility requirements in the UK.
