Have you ever ordered a product online and felt really disappointed when it came in a package full of wires and even unrecyclable plastics? Well, Amazon knows every customer’s pain and frustration and so the world’s famous online selling platform had introduced another customer-friendly program which is Frustration-Free Packaging.

But what’s it in for sellers like us? Should we take part in this program? Let us help you decide so read on.

What is “Frustration-Free Packaging”?

Frustration-free packaging is designed specifically for e-commerce shipping. Unlike traditional packaging, it protects the product during shipping and handling but doesn’t have it wrapped in varying plastics that are commonly unrecyclable. Instead, it comes in a box, sometimes another smaller box depending on the size of the item. The product comes in its own packaging without the need for additional Amazon packaging. This makes opening up the package frustration and hassle-free. Moreover, packaging materials used in Frustration-free packaging are 100% recyclable so you’re not only saving your self from frustration, but you’re also helping the environment preserve its beauty.

Features of Amazon’s Frustration-Free Packaging:

1. Designed to Reduce Waste
2. Lab Tested Protective Design
3. 100% Recyclable Materials
4. Easy to Open
