Frustration Free Packaging Certification
WHAT IS IT?
Frustration Free Packaging is Amazon’s certification process that states that all packaged items larger than 18″ x 14″ x 8″ or items that weight 20 lbs. or more sold through Amazon must be certified as ready-to-ship within a tier of the frustration free packaging program. This program is created to reduce waste for the consumer and create a more efficient way for Amazon to ship products.
