In order for your product to be sold as "New" on Amazon, whether as Labelled Inventory or Stickerless Commingled, it must arrive at the fulfilment centre in good condition and without defects.
Amazon's world-class customer service depends on the quality of products we deliver. Not only will customers benefit, but so will you. For example, if your outer shipping boxes arrive at the fulfilment centre with visible damage, they may be rejected.
