  • Product size tiers

    Product size tiers are measurement categories based on the unit weight, product dimensions, and dimensional weight of a packaged item. The product size tier of an item is used to calculate fees. Note: Beginning February 05, 2024 product size tiers will update with the 2024 rate card for Buy with Prime orders. See the following product size tier tables for more information.

    Step 1Determine the volume and dimensions of the item.

    Product dimensions and volume are measures of the product’s size when fully packaged and ready to ship. In order to calculate product dimensions, measure the dimensions of a single unit of your product in inches using the following guidelines:

    • Longest side (length) – The dimensions of the longest side of the item
    • Median side (width) – The dimensions of the side that is neither the longest nor the shortest
    • Shortest side (height) – The dimensions of the shortest side of the item
    • Girth – The dimensions of the median side plus the shortest side, then multiply by two
    • Girth plus length – The girth plus the longest side

    See more information about how product volume and dimensions are calculated.

     

    Step 2Determine the unit weight and dimensional weight of the item.

    • Unit weight is the measure of how much your product weighs when packaged.
    • Dimensional weight is calculated using the package’s dimensions. To calculate dimensional weight, multiply the package’s overall length, width, and height, and then divide by 139. The dimensional weight for oversize, large bulky, and extra-large items assumes a minimum width and height of 2 inches.
    • Shipping weight is the greater of unit weight or dimensional weight for determining size tiers.  For large standard, oversize (excluding special oversize), large bulky, and extra-large (excluding 150+ lbs), Amazon uses dimensional weight when it’s greater than the unit weight to calculate fees. Fees for small standard, special oversize, and extra-large 150+ lbs are calculated using only unit weight.

     

    Step 3Use the weight measurements and the following table to determine the product size tier.

    Use your calculated values and the following product size tiers table to determine your product size tier. Find the row in the table with measurements that don’t exceed the weight or the dimensions of your item. For example, a T-shirt with dimensions 8.5 x 4.8 x 1 inches and weighing 7 ounces falls within the large standard product tier. More information on how to determine the product size tier of an item can be found in Seller Central.

    2023 product size tiers

    The 2023 product size tiers are valid until February 04, 2024.

    2024 product size tiers

    The 2024 product size tiers go into effect on February 05, 2024.
