As= a result, our U.S. fulfillment centers were very full in November and Dece= mber. This fullness was driven in part by FBA inventory that did not sell u= ntil well into 2016. To avoid potential capacity constraints during the 2016 holiday season, we = are accelerating the expansion of our fulfillment capacity. Additionally, w= e are changing our FBA fee structure to encourage all sellers to send in an= d store products in November and December that are likely to sell by the en= d of 2016. To give you time to plan for these changes, they will begin to t= ake effect on October 1, 2016. We are introducing the following updates to our fees: - Adjustment to Monthly Inventory Storage Fees: Effective October 1, 2016,= the monthly fee for inventory storage will change for Standard-Size and Ov= ersize units. October storage fees will decrease, and the fees for November= and December storage will increase. This change will first be reflected in= November 2016 charges for storage that occurs in October 2016. See details= https://amazon.com/fba-fee-changes (or scroll to the Monthly Inventory Sto= rage Fees information below). - Reduction of Weight Handling Fees in November and December: To minimize = the impact of the increased storage fees in November and December on your b= usiness, effective November 1, 2016, we will reduce our Weight Handling Fee= s for all items shipped in November and December. See details https://amazo= n.com/fba-fee-changes (or scroll to Fulfillment Fee information below). Wit= h the reduction in Weight Handling Fees, sellers who reduce the storage spa= ce they use in November and December have the opportunity to pay lower tota= l FBA fees. Sellers who hold unproductive inventory through November and De= cember may see an increase in total fees. See examples https://amazon.com/f= ba-fee-changes of how total fees may be reduced. - Box content information required for shipments to Amazon: To ensure that= shipments to Amazon are received quickly and accurately, effective Novembe= r 1, 2016, you must provide box content information for each box sent to a = fulfillment center. Shipments containing more than 55% of FBA units already= provide box content information. In September 2016, we will provide additi= onal tools to make it easier to provide box content information on all ship= ments. If your shipping processes do not support providing this information= , we will apply a fee of $0.15 per unit in November and December. The fee w= ill be $0.10 per unit for January through October.

Hello from Fu= lfillment by Amazon,

In 2015, FBA volumes, growth rates, and inventory levels were very high.= As a result, our U.S. fulfillment centers were very full in November and D= ecember. This fullness was driven in part by FBA inventory that did not sel= l until well into 2016.

To avoid potential capacity constraints during the 2016 holiday season, = we are accelerating the expansion of our fulfillment capacity. Additionally= , we are changing our FBA fee structure to encourage all sellers to send in= and store products in November and December that are likely to sell by the= end of 2016. To give you time to plan for these changes, they will= begin to take effect on October 1, 2016.

We are in= troducing the following updates to our fees:

  • Adjustment to Monthly Inventory Storage Fee= s: Effective October 1, 2016, the monthly fee for inventory storage wil= l change for Standard-Size and Oversize units. October storage fees will de= crease, and the fees for November and December storage will increase. This = change will first be reflected in November 2016 charges for storage that oc= curs in October 2016. See details (or scroll to the Monthly Inventory Storage Fees informati= on below).

  • Reduction of Weight Handling Fees in Novemb= er and December: To minimize the impact of the increased storage fees i= n November and December on your business, effective November 1, 2016, we wi= ll reduce our Weight Handling Fees for all items shipped in November and De= cember. See details (or scroll to Fulfillment Fee information below). With the= reduction in Weight Handling Fees, sellers who reduce the storage space th= ey use in November and December have the opportunity to pay lower total FBA= fees.
