Sending Oversized Products to Amazon FBA
What are my options in sending in oversized product inventory to Amazon FBA facilities? The dimension of my product is 110x100x30 inches.
I'd like to ship them on pallets but from what I understand, the maximum pallet dimensions are 40x48x72 inches.
Thanks!

Hey @Seller_GoMDFPrP7JaTe, I was able to find a contact to confirm and greatly appreciate your patience. Based on your dim and weight this should be able to be sent to heavy-bulky stabilized on a 72"x40' pallet (or 96" x 48", if needed for some reason). If you have any "heavy" stickers like airports or other warehouses do I don't see harm in labeling as such but that's a known quantity when going into those channels already. I don't have any knowledge or expertise on the carrier side specifically but once you align that you should be good to go!

@Seller_pPjVeGoDrVnxh have you previously sent in any shipments? Is this an existing ASIN for your use case?
Seller_pPjVeGoDrVnxh
No, we have never send in anything over the pallet size. Most of my product packaging are within Amazon pallet size 48"x40"x 72" requirement. Except this one packaging size 54"Lx24"Wx4"H. Seller support advise just label it correctly and ship but we hesitate cause per Amazon guidelines they will reject your pallet.

@Seller_pPjVeGoDrVnxh, just to confirm, are those dims for a single unit? and if so what is the weight?

Yes, my package size is 54"x24"x4" and weight 38lbs.

Thanks @Seller_pPjVeGoDrVnxh, based on the Extra-large FBA inventory guidelines your dims should only meet the Oversize criteria and not Extra-large, given the weight under 50 lbs, but I'm checking on the palletization question. Do you have the ability to shrink wrap onto a standard pallet to stabilize and keep the item movable by pallet jack?
Seller_pPjVeGoDrVnxh
It will be hard to stabilize, since package height is only 4". That was the reason we have not send to Amazon fulfillment center. We are hoping to find some answer here.

Understood, thanks for the update, still working to confirm!

@Seller_pPjVeGoDrVnxh, thank you for your patience as well! Similar to the reply above, your dims should be good to fit on that 72" x 40" pallet without overhanging. Tag me as needed if more questions arise in the future!
