Yes. You can have an FBA Small and Light offer and an offer in the standard FBA Program on the same product; however, please ensure that your Program offer is priced competitively, relative to your MFN offer. Customers trust that they will find low prices on Amazon. Consistent with maintaining that trust, higher priced FBA Small and Light offers may not win the Buy Box. For more information, please see General Pricing Rule and The Buy Box.
To use an MSKU for Small and Light, you must have one that is based on an offer in FBA. Enrol your seller-fulfilled offer in Small and Light and then convert it to FBA.
If you want both Small and Light and seller-fulfilled offers, we recommend creating a separate offer for each so that you have two MSKUs: one for Small and Light and one seller-fulfilled. Update or create multiple offers at once using the Inventory Loader tool.
If you have offers that use manufacturer barcodes for tracking, create a new seller-fulfilled MSKU and enroll the MSKU into Small and Light using the enrollment page. For help creating a new offer – See Start selling: List and manage inventory.
Once the MSKU is enrolled, our system will automatically convert your MSKU into a Small and Light offer. Each unit must be individually sitckered with an Amazon barcode - See our Small and Light prep and packaging guide.
Yes, Small and Light accepts expiration-dated products, but temperature-sensitive products (like chocolates) are not accepted. Small and Light follows the standard FBA requirements for expiration-dated inventory.
Products sent to Amazon must have a remaining shelf life greater than 105 days from the time of receipt by Amazon. Units that are within 50 days of the expiration date will be removed for disposal by Amazon. Units subject to disposal will not be available for return.
When shipping expiration-dated products to Amazon, make sure that each box has only one expiration date per product. Multiple units of the same product can be shipped together if all units have the same expiration date and are bagged or bundled together.
You can create a removal order in Seller Central to remove your Small and Light inventory, just as you would for standard FBA inventory. Small and Light has a minimum removal fee of €0.25 a unit. Normally, removals (returns and disposals) can take 10 to 14 business days to pick, pack, and process. However, removal times may increase to 30 days or more during peak removal periods, which occur in February, March, August, and September. For more information, visit Remove inventory from a fulfillment center.
