What happened?
Amazon UK announced changes to the eligibility review standards for Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP). From October 30, 2026, the platform will no longer review eligibility solely based on overall seller account performance. Instead, products will be divided into three tiers—standard-size, oversize, and extra-large—and assessed separately for continued Prime badge eligibility. The change applies to relevant UK sellers using seller-fulfilled shipping, with sellers of furniture, fitness equipment, appliances, auto parts, and other large products needing particular attention. Standard-size products must have at least 25% of customer page views showing next-day delivery. Extra-large products may be shipped without Amazon Buy Shipping or Easy Ship, but must provide a valid Amazon-approved logistics tracking number and maintain an on-time delivery rate of at least 97%. Weekend operations, on-time shipment rate, cancellation rate, and other metrics will also be calculated by product tier rather than simply using account-wide averages. Sellers need to recheck delivery promises, carrier tracking capabilities, and Prime eligibility for products of different sizes before October 30 to avoid some SKUs losing Prime eligibility.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
From October 30, 2026, UK SFP eligibility will be reviewed separately for standard-size, oversize, and extra-large products; overall account performance will no longer represent every SKU’s Prime eligibility. Large-product sellers should manage delivery promises, logistics tracking, on-time delivery rates, and other performance metrics by tier to prevent some SKUs from losing the Prime badge.
What should sellers do now?
- 1This week, create a classification table for UK seller-fulfilled SKUs covering standard-size, oversize, and extra-large products, and record the Prime status and delivery promise for each item; completion requires covering all relevant SKUs and flagging items requiring review before October 30, 2026.Dimensional weight
- 2This week, verify for each extra-large UK listing whether the carrier can provide a valid Amazon-approved logistics tracking number, and review its on-time delivery rate; completion requires a verification record for every extra-large SKU, with items below 97% placed on a remediation list.
- 3This week, export page-view data and next-day delivery displays for UK standard-size products, and check by SKU whether the 25% threshold is met; also review weekend operations, on-time shipment rate, and cancellation rate by tier, and produce a list of non-compliant SKUs.
