Announcement reposted from Amazon United States:
Effective April 14, 2025, we’ll no longer offer prep services for sharp products and our packaging requirements have been updated to ensure the safety of our associates and customers. You’ll be required to own the end-to-end packaging of all sharp products before you send them to us.
To meet the updated packaging requirements and prevent exposed sharp edges or points during handling, you must package all sharp products in secure, cut- and puncture-resistant packaging, such as hardened plastic or blister packs. To view the updated packaging requirements for sharp products, go to Packaging sharp units.
To give you time to adjust to the new packaging requirements, a sharp product that arrives at our fulfillment centers before April 14 will still be accepted as long as the sharp edges are boxed or bubble wrapped to meet our current minimum packaging requirements. Sharp products that don’t meet our current minimum packaging requirements will be disposed of immediately at your expense and without reimbursement.
After April 14, any sharp products that don’t meet the updated packaging requirements when they arrive at our fulfillment centers will be immediately disposed of at your expense and won’t be eligible for reimbursement.
