As an Amazon seller, you may have heard of the term "Small and Light" products, but what exactly does it mean? Small and Light products are items that meet specific criteria set by Amazon, including their weight and dimensions. These products can be shipped to customers using a more cost-effective and efficient shipping method, which can help you save on shipping costs and increase your profits.








The Small and Light program for the UK marketplace has slightly different criteria compared to the US marketplace. In general. For envelopes, the maximum size and weight are 33 x 23 x 6 cm and 960 g. For small parcels, the maximum size and weight are 35 x 25 x 12 cm and 400 g. These products can be shipped to customers using a more cost-effective and efficient shipping method, which can help Amazon sellers save on shipping costs and increase their profits.

The maximum selling price for Small and Light products varies by marketplace and product category. In the UK marketplace, the maximum price for Small and Light products is £9.99 (excluding VAT) for most categories. However, some categories have different maximum prices. For example, the maximum price for Small and Light products in the Baby category is £4.99 (excluding VAT). It's important to note that these prices are subject to change and sellers should always check the latest guidelines from Amazon to ensure they are complying with the rules.
