How to Submit a Sample
The condition that we receive your samples goes a long way to determine their ability to meet the Amazon package testing requirements. It is extremely important to follow the instructions included below when submitting a sample for Amazon.com package testing.
Preparing the Test Package – Parcel Delivery
- Mark the packages to be tested with “Test Package” on the outside of the box.
- Send the test samples in a sturdy outer container that is marked “Overpacked Test Package Inside”.
- It is crucial to include material between the packages to be tested and the outer container. This material could be air packets, foam, paper or packing peanuts.
- Include the Keystone Compliance Testing Quote Number in the shipping documents.
Preparing the Test Package – Freight Shipments
- Mark the packages to be tested with “Test Package” on the outside of the box.
- If possible, send the test samples in a sturdy outer container that is marked “Overpacked Test Package Inside”. Since overboxing is not always a viable option with freight shipments, another solution is overwrapping the test package. Materials that can be used to do this include angle boards, corrugated pads and stretchwrap.
- Band the palletized test pallet onto an extra pallet and use overwrap.
- Inform the lab of which materials should be removed prior to testing. For instance, additional packing, shrinkwrap or an extra pallet.
- Include the Keystone Compliance Testing Quote Number in the shipping documents.
