Amazon’s prep change · 1 July 2026

Amazon stopped prepping. We do it for you.

Since 1 July 2026, Amazon no longer preps or labels FBA stock for sellers on amazon.co.uk and its other European sites. Your stock has to arrive ready to sell.

A product arrives, gets its Amazon barcode label, is packed into a labelled box and sent to Amazon X00AMZ123
What it means

Your stock has to arrive at Amazon ready.

  • Most units need an Amazon barcode

    An FNSKU label on each unit, covering the maker’s barcode, so Amazon scans the right thing.

  • Some items need a bag or bubble wrap

    Loose, soft, multi-part, fragile or sharp items get bagged or wrapped before they go.

  • Boxes must meet Amazon’s rules

    The right size and weight for Amazon, with Amazon’s box labels on the outside.
