Although Amazon has stopped using the name Small & Light to define its reduced fees for specific items, it still has reduced fees for sending small and light items that qualify. Essentially, sending items under £10 and a particular weight will still see that your fees are less, give it a try on your profit and ROI software.

At Express Prep, we have introduced a pricing plan for our customers who are sending many units, which qualify as our measurements of small and light. The benefits include customers reducing their pricing by as much as 40%, which is significant to the bottom line.

1. Understanding Our Small & Light Service
The Small & Light program with Express Prep is designed for relatively cheap and light products, weighing less than 400g. This allows our team to process your items at a faster rate, and therefore being able to reduce the price for the customer. Although Amazon no longer use the name, we see there is no reason why you shouldn’t have reduced costs with your fulfilment.

2. Expert Packaging for Cost Savings
Packaging is crucial in Small & Light fulfilment to avoid exceeding Amazon’s size and weight thresholds. Express Prep uses high-quality, lightweight materials that protect your products while keeping packaging minimal. We pass on these cost savings to our customers, giving them significantly cheaper fulfilment. 

3. Faster Turnaround for High-Volume Items
We are targeting a new segment of customers with our Small & Light service, as the items themselves often move quickly due to their affordability and appeal. This will bring in a larger unit quantity through Express Prep, and allow our customers to sell even more customers.

Express Prep’s efficient processing systems and dedicated team ensure your inventory is received, prepped, and shipped to Amazon fulfilment centres promptly. Typically, Express Prep’s turnaround time is 24 hours, making Express Prep the fastest prep centre in the UK.. This reliability is key to maintaining a competitive edge in fast-moving categories.
