Hello FBA Seller:

In the past few months, we have notified you of upcoming changes to Fulfillment by Amazon fees in the U.S. As a reminder, these changes take effect beginning February 18, 2015, one week from today.

We are introducing the following updates to our fees:

  • Fulfillment Fee rate adjustments. Effective February 18, 2015, we will adjust our Pick & Pack and Weight Handling fees to reflect the changing costs of fulfillment, transportation, and customer service. See details (or scroll to Fulfillment Fee schedules below)
  • Dimensional Weight threshold. To align with announced changes to industry standards, we will adjust when we apply Dimensional Weight—a calculation based on a unit's cubic volume. Currently, if the unit’s volume is greater than 5,184 cubic inches, Fulfillment Fees are calculated based on the greater of Dimensional Weight or unit weight. Effective February 18, 2015, we will remove the 5,184 cubic inch threshold. Instead, we will calculate Fulfillment Fees and fees for the optional Inventory Placement Service based on the greater of Dimensional Weight or unit weight for Large Standard-Size Non-Media units weighing more than 1 lb. and for all Small, Medium, and Large Oversize units. See details and examples of products to which this applies
  • Monthly Inventory Storage Fee. For inventory storage beginning March 1, 2015, the monthly fee will vary between Standard-Size and Oversize units. Rates for storing Standard-Size units will increase, and rates for storing Oversize units will decrease. This change will first be reflected in April charges for storage in March. See details (or scroll to the Monthly Inventory Storage Fee schedule below)
  • Long-Term Storage Fee. This fee is currently assessed twice a year, on February 15 and August 15, on units that have been in Amazon fulfillment centers for 12 months or more. On August 15, 2015, units that have been in Amazon fulfillment centers between 6 and 12 months will also be subject to the Long-Term Storage Fee, at a rate of $11.25 per cubic foot. Units that have been in fulfillment centers for 12 months or more will continue to incur the Long-Term Storage Fee of $22.50 per cubic foot. Important note: The February 15, 2015, assessment of the Long-Term Storage Fee only affects units that have been in fulfillment centers for 12 months or more. See details

Fees for Order Handling, Zero-Fee Fulfillment, Multi-Channel Fulfillment, and FBA Prep Services are not affected by these changes. For complete details of the fee changes, visit http://www.amazon.com/fba-fee-changes.
