HB

Heavy Bulky (HB) products are items that exceed standard size or weight thresholds and therefore fall under special fulfilment and transportation processes within Amazon’s network.

Examples of HB products include:

• Furniture (e.g., sofas, beds, dining tables)
• Large appliances (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines)
• Fitness equipment (e.g., treadmills, weight sets)
• Oversized electronics or garden tools

Amazon defines HB items based on:

• Weight (typically over 23 kg / 50 lbs)
• Dimensions (e.g., longer than 120 cm / 47 in, or combined dimensions exceeding thresholds)

Implications for sellers and vendors:

• May require different prep and packaging requirements
• Stored in non-sortable fulfilment centers
• Incur higher FBA or delivery fees
• Often shipped via scheduled delivery or special carriers
• Can affect eligibility for Prime One-Day or Two-Day delivery

💡 Example: A vendor listing a home gym system over 100 lbs must follow HB prep rules and schedule delivery with a white-glove carrier.

In short:
HB (Heavy Bulky) refers to large or heavy products on Amazon that require special fulfilment, higher shipping costs, and tailored logistics support.
