Still ignoring #Amazon's SIOC/SIPP packaging requirements? It's about to get (very) expensive! πΈπ¨
The online retailer is set to update its SIPP (Ships In Product Packaging) chargebacks:
From 1 January 2025, products greater than 45.5 x 34 x 26.5 cm or >12.4kg in the EU/UK πͺπΊπ¬π§ and 18 x 14 x 8 in or > 20 lb in the US πΊπΈ will see SIOC chargebacks rise by up to +190% vs 2024.
The chargeback reaches up to $4.40 / β¬5.00 / Β£4.30 per unit and erodes vendor margins significantly!
So what are the benefits of SIPP packaging?
β
Cheaper fulfilment costs
β
No need for outer packaging
β
Faster processing times in warehouses
How can you avoid this chargeback?
π Educate your teams on the (rising) cost of inaction
π Update your packaging for heavy/bulky items
π Review ASIN certification status in Vendor Central
P.S. Can't update your packaging? Expect Amazon to put a high price tag against any chargeback waivers for SIPP/SIOC in your upcoming AVN.
