Amazon’s proposal procedure for a drop test are five drops from 3 feet high, including: drop flat on base, drop flat on top, drop flat on longest side , drop flat on shortest side , drop flat on a corner. A great option offered by Amazon which is you can send your inspectors to Amazon to approve. But please test before you come, so you will be able to pass the test successfully.
