Will buyers be aware that their purchases are shipped in original packaging?
Answer: Yes. For ASINs certified under the Shipping in Original Package (SIPP) program, a notification will be displayed to buyers at checkout informing them that the item can be shipped in its original packaging. Buyers have the option to add Amazon packaging at no additional cost. Regardless of the buyer's choice, sellers with SIPP-certified ASINs will benefit from reduced shipping fees.

Will registered SIPP ASINs always ship without Amazon Packaging
Answer: If a SIPP-certified ASIN is part of a customer's order that includes other items, it may be packaged in an Amazon box, bag, or envelope to consolidate the shipment and enhance the customer experience by reducing the number of individual packages received. Sellers will still receive a shipping fee discount for SIPP-certified ASINs, regardless of how they are shipped.
Is Testing Required for Every Variation of an ASIN
Answer: No, it is not necessary. Sellers are not required to test every variation of an ASIN. ASINs that meet the conditions for grouping and certification can be assessed using a single test report. Generally, products should be grouped based on factors such as size, weight, material, packaging, product-to-packaging ratio, and package quantity, with some exceptions.
What is the discount rate for sellers on FBA fulfillment fees?
Answer: The discount rate on FBA fulfillment fees for sellers is determined based on the product size and weight.
When can sellers start enjoying preferential delivery prices after registering and joining SIPP?
Answer: Amazon requires sellers to provide a certification date through the Seller Central SIPP portal before reviewing the application. The certification date is determined based on when the seller’s SIPP-compliant products first arrived at the Amazon fulfillment center. Discounts apply to goods received after the provided ASIN certification date once the registration application is approved; goods received prior to this date are not eligible for discounts.
Are there any changes to the warehousing requirements for SIPP ASINs?
Answer: No. The warehousing process for SIPP ASINs at Amazon fulfillment centers remains unchanged. However, it is crucial that the packaging meets the SIPP guidelines. Each SIPP-certified item shipped to the warehouse must include a scannable external label, as per the labeling guidelines on Seller Central.
