The Small and Light Program is great for anyone who's new to Amazon and/or looking to expand. This program is similar but not identical to the FBA program.
First, products under $15 are not accepted in the Small and Light Program. The goal of the Small and Light program is to make it easier to sell small, lightweight items that might not otherwise be eligible for FBA. The program can also be used to help increase your visibility in the eyes of Amazon Prime customers. When your customers purchase two or more units of the same item, Amazon will pay for a small discount.
You will need to follow different rules if you sell your products separately. You will need to make sure that the right labeling is used to identify which unit should be sent to Amazon and which one to your customer. It is also important to ensure that each product comes with a barcode.
Other rules are also required for the Small and Light Program. Clear plastic bags are the best packaging for small and light items. Your seller name and carrier names must be included in the barcode. You might also need to pack crushable items.
You can also receive a discount of 5% if you buy two or more small and light products. Amazon will also cover the cost of the discount if your customer orders five or more of that same product. Remember that Prime customers do not have to be eligible for free shipping, even if the product is small or light. Amazon offers standard shipping to nonPrime buyers.
The Small and Light program has a few limitations, including the requirement that you ship only 24 units per MSKU. If you're new to Amazon selling, this can make it difficult. You may also need to pack your products in case packs. Amazon no longer offers Prime members free 2-day shipping.
Amazon Small and Light allows you to lower your costs and increase your customer base. But keep in mind that you may not have the same amount of profit margins as you would if you were a manufacturer. FBA fulfillment is more expensive than standard FBA fulfillment. This means you will have to expect a longer time for shipping. To avoid delays, make sure you follow all instructions.
You can download a template once you're ready to register in the Small and Light Program. This template will allow you to enroll more than 100 MSKUs. You can download the template and copy your MSKUs to it. The template can be used to eliminate extra spaces before your MSKUs.

How To
How to shop for Groceries on a Budget
This Topic is all about shopping for groceries on the budget.
There are many methods to shop for groceries within your budget. You could use coupons, buy generic products, get free samples, check out sales at your grocery store, etc.
These tools will help you locate these deals.
Coupons
To save money on groceries, use coupons. You pay the full price if you don't use coupons when you purchase something. Coupons are a way to save on certain food brands and types.
For instance, you could print a list of all the coupons available in your area. After you have completed your list, look through it and find any coupons.
You might consider purchasing the brand rather than generic if a coupon is not available. This could give you better value for your money.
Check Out Sales
You should also keep an eye on what's selling at your local supermarket. Some stores offer discounts and other specials. Some stores will sell 1 lb bags of rice for 99c.
Before purchasing similar items, check out their prices. If the item is less expensive elsewhere, it may be worth shopping at another store.
To compare prices, you might even visit multiple supermarkets. Visit multiple locations in your area to compare their prices.
Take a look around
You can often find amazing deals when you shop around. But you must know how to ensure you get the best deal.
First, understand the difference between regular and sale prices. The sale price refers the price at which the discount price is offered. Discounts are not always possible.
The regular price is the actual cost of the item. You should compare the prices to determine if you are getting an excellent deal.
Compare the original and current prices of products that have been reduced in price.
You should always compare the original price of a product with other retailers' prices if you find a lower-priced product.
Also, if you find a product that was originally priced higher than others, you should check if the price is still as high as it used to be.
Take the time to read all of the fine print
Remember to read all the fine print when you shop. It is often that you only discover what you did not read after purchasing an item.
For example, shipping and other costs might be overlooked if an item you purchase is made via a website.
Make sure you read the entire description carefully. Sometimes the description will say that the item is being sold "as is."
This means that you won't receive any warranties or guarantees. If the item doesn't function correctly, the seller can't return it.
Shop Online Carefully
Finally, be careful when ordering online. Many scams happen online.
People may try to steal your identity and your credit card number. Other people use fake websites to trick customers into giving out personal information.
These sites are often used by people who need sensitive information, such as passwords and social security numbers.
Online fraudsters make it easy to fall for them. Therefore, you should never enter your financial information into a site unless you trust them.
Always verify that the website you are going to use is legitimate. This includes checking the address bar to ensure that there is no hidden message directing you to a fraudulent website.
