Amazon Removes Default Packing Slips and Overboxes for MCF and Buy with Prime SIPP Orders
Effective: April 1, 2026
US sellers using Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) or Buy with Prime to fulfill off-Amazon orders — especially brands that rely on packing slips for D2C customer experience
Starting April 2026, Amazon changed three defaults for Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) and Buy with Prime shipments in the US: packing slips are no longer included unless sellers opt in, products certified for the Ships in Product Packaging (SIPP) program now ship without an Amazon overbox by default, and eligible SIPP shipments receive a discount on MCF and Buy with Prime fulfillment fees. The changes roll out gradually from April 1 through April 30, 2026, and sellers can adjust preferences in MCF Settings at any time.
Key Points
- Packing slips are no longer included by default in MCF and Buy with Prime shipments — sellers must opt in via Multi-Channel Fulfillment Settings to continue receiving them
- Products enrolled in the SIPP (Ships in Product Packaging) program will ship without an Amazon overbox by default, reducing packaging waste
- Eligible MCF and Buy with Prime SIPP shipments receive a fulfillment fee discount — Amazon has not announced the specific discount amount
- Changes roll out gradually from April 1 through April 30, 2026
- Sellers can opt out of SIPP overbox removal or require packing slips via Multi-Channel Fulfillment Settings in Seller Central
- Sellers using the Fulfillment Outbound API can configure overbox and packing slip settings at the individual order level
