Can I request Amazon ships items in a box?
Hello,
Has anyone ever been able to request Amazon ship their product in a box and not a mailer bag? I know we could box the items and register them in SIPP but it wouldn't be cost effective to ship them in a box due to box cost and labor involved and the very small amount we would save on fees from the program.
My thought is no we cannot request that from Amazon but figured I would check here to see if anyone has done it before and how.
Thanks!

Hi @Seller_D1eGgHN6KPRgm, here's a similar thread where this question was asked last year and had some replies from multiple experienced FBA sellers. That said if you have further questions feel free to share below.

Hi @Seller_D1eGgHN6KPRgm,
Thank you for reaching out on the Seller Forums!
At this time, there is no option to opt for your products to ship to buyers in a box instead of a mailer bag. If there is a specific way you would prefer the product to be shipped, it is recommended that you prep and pack the items before shipping into FBA.
For more information on this, I would recommend reading through the following resources:
- FBA packaging and prep series: Preparing your inventory for Amazon FBA
- Packaging and prep requirements
Please let me know if this helps clarify! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate reaching out.
I hope you have a great weekend,
Jameson
