As a reminder, below is a copy of the e-mail we sent on December 3, 2012, = announcing the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fee changes scheduled to= take effect on February 18, 2013.

Dear FBA Seller:

We are writing to notify you of a change in the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA= ) fee structure. FBA remains committed to providing the high level of service= and the fast, free shipping our customers expect. As the costs for transport= ation continue to increase, we are adjusting our fees to better reflect costs= .

We expect that this update will increase overall fulfillment fees for the = majority of products, while reducing overall fulfillment fees for many produc= ts that fit into the new Small Oversize and Medium Oversize categories. For e= xample, for one-pound Large Standard-Size products, which represent a signifi= cant portion of the products Amazon fulfills, the total fee increase will be = $0.09 per unit. To give you time to plan for these fee changes, they = will not take effect until February 18, 2013.

We remain committed to improving your success through the FBA service, hel= ping you to reach Amazon's millions of customers with FREE Super Saver Shippi= ng and Amazon Prime free 2-day shipping. In the past year, we have made it ea= sier for customers to order and receive your products, including innovations = such as Amazon Lockers and same-day shipping in select cities; and we have co= ntinued to grow the benefits and membership of Amazon Prime, which this year = has surpassed FREE Super Saver Shipping in units shipped. We have also enhanc= ed the FBA and Seller Central experience, through better access to your impor= tant business data on the Sales Dashboard and Payments reports; value-added s= ervices such as the FBA Label Service; and new ways to reach global customers= with FBA Global Export.

The updated fee structure has an impact on several areas of our U.S. rate = card, as follows. See the help section at http://www.amazon.com/fba-fee-changes for a full rate card, definitions,= and examples.

  • Product Size Tiers: We are adding new product size tiers= to better reflect the variety of products we fulfill. All products will now = fit into one of the following tiers, all defined in the linked help page. =20=

    • Small Oversize
    • Medium Oversize

    • Special Oversize
  • Pick & Pack: We are changing the Pick & Pack Fee= for Oversize products, which will result in a fee reduction for most Oversiz= e products. The Pick & Pack Fee for Oversize products will range between = $4 and $10 depending on the product size tier. Pick & Pack Fees will rema= in $1 for all Standard-Size products.
  • Weight Handling: We are increasing the Weight Handling F= ee, which will vary by product size tier, to better reflect transportation co= sts.
