What Are the Amazon FBA Pallet Delivery (LTL) Guidelines?

Amazon Fulfilment Centres have strict rules for pallet deliveries. If your pallet does not meet their standards, it will be refused. This guide explains how to prepare your Amazon pallet correctly and use our preferred carrier service to avoid delays and penalties.

The Only UK Pallet Network in Amazon's Preferred Carrier Programme

We are the only pallet network in the Amazon Inbound Preferred Carrier Programme (IPCP). This gives us pre-booked daily slots at every Amazon fulfilment centre. No delays waiting for slot approvals. No refused deliveries because your carrier was not registered.

Amazon Pallet Size and Weight Limits

• Maximum height: 1.8 metres, including the pallet base
• Maximum weight: 1,000 kg
• Pallets over 500 kg: must be clearly labelled as "HEAVY GOODS"

Oversized or overweight pallets will be refused on arrival.

Accepted Pallet Type

• 4-way entry wooden pallet (plastic pallets are not accepted)
• Standard size: 1,200 mm x 1,000 mm x 150 mm
• Fully shrink-wrapped with no loose cartons or exposed goods
• Pallet must be clean, undamaged and safe to handle

Amazon Pallet Labelling Requirements

Each pallet must have a large, clear label placed on the outside of the shrink wrap showing:

• To: full Amazon fulfilment centre address
• From: your full sender address
• Purchase Order Number(s)
• Number of cartons
• Number of units
• Pallet count: for example, 1 of 3, 2 of 3

How to Send Your Amazon Pallet

Prepare your pallet as shown above. Book your collection with us and we will arrange the delivery slot in Amazon’s Carrier Central. Once booked, your pallet travels through the Palletline network and is delivered directly to the fulfilment centre.

Why Use a Preferred Carrier?

Amazon deliveries run on tight booking slots. Using a preferred carrier protects you from rejection, late fees and stock delays. We deliver daily into every fulfilment centre using pre-booked slots, helping you protect your seller metrics and keep your stock moving.

Important to Know

We do not supply pallets or shrink wrap. Your goods must be ready for collection and fully prepared to Amazon’s standards. For full preparation details, see Amazon Seller Central.
