How to label small parcel shipments
Shipment packing guidelines
If you receive your inventory from your supplier on a pallet, do not assume the boxes can be used for small parcel delivery as is. The standard box and inner packing used for less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) pallet shipments may not be able to withstand the standard shipping process for small parcel shipping, because this packing is designed for bulk pallet shipments going to brick and mortar retail stores. If these units are damaged during small parcel delivery, you may be responsible for damaged units that are not appropriately boxed and packaged to meet these standards.
Guidelines for carriers
- Only professional carriers are allowed to make deliveries to Amazon fulfilment centres.
- We are unable to accept deliveries from personal vehicles at our fulfilment centres. Small parcel deliveries must be delivered by carrier van only.
-
Carriers must adhere to Amazon's delivery requirements and safety standards. This includes wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment which includes but is not limited to:
- High visibility vest
- Enclosed shoes (preferably safety shoes)
- For any small parcel delivery parcel, the count must not exceed 15 parcels. Anything over needs to be palletized and an appointment needs to be booked viaCarrier Central

Label boxes
- Print the full set of labels. Because each label is unique, do not photocopy, reuse, or modify labels for use on additional boxes.
- All small parcel delivery boxes must have shipment labels, and shipment labels must not include other messaging. If you are reusing boxes from previous shipments, be sure to remove or cover any other shipment labels, barcodes, or markings.
- Shipment labels must be consistently placed in a way that is easy to see, either on the top or side of the box. Side placement is preferred.
- Do not place shipment labels on the seam of the box where they could be damaged when the box is opened, making the barcodes unscannable.
- Whenever possible, place shipment labels no closer than 3.17 cm from any natural edge of the box. The tape used to seal the box should not cover the shipment labels.
