Still ignoring #Amazon's SIOC/SIPP packaging requirements? It's about to get (very) expensive! 💸🚨

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 🇪🇺🇬🇧 and 18 x 14 x 8 in or > 20 lb in the US 🇺🇸 will see SIOC chargebacks rise by up to +190% vs 2024.

The chargeback reaches up to $4.40 / €5.00 / £4.30 per unit and erodes vendor margins significantly!

So what are the benefits of SIPP packaging?

✅ Cheaper fulfilment costs
✅ No need for outer packaging
✅ Faster processing times in warehouses

How can you avoid this chargeback?

👉 Educate your teams on the (rising) cost of inaction
👉 Update your packaging for heavy/bulky items
👉 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.
