Product eligibility — prep & storage policy (plain English)
Products eligible for prep and storage must meet all of the following:
-
Maximum purchase value: up to £100 per unit (price from distributor/manufacturer).
Why: to limit financial risk if compensation is needed in the unlikely event of damage.
-
Maximum dimension: up to 100 cm on the largest side.
Why: oversized goods create handling and safety constraints that slow operations and increase costs.
These limits keep our FBA prep UK service predictable, compliant and cost‑effective for all sellers. Items above these thresholds are not accepted under the standard service. For special handling (liquids, hazmat, temperature‑controlled), we’ll confirm feasibility and quote separately.
