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.

Step 1: Determine 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 2: Determine 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 3: Use 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.

Invoices are generated during the month in which an inventory transfer occurs, and the invoices will be generated against the parent vendor code on the last weekday of that month. The invoice amount will be calculated based on the unit cost price Amazon previously paid you for the inventory. The return invoice amount will be deducted automatically from the outstanding payment Amazon owes to your Vendor Central account.
