FBA fulfilment fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/ecommerce-fulfillment\/fulfillment-costs\/\">fulfilment service pricing models<\/a> that charge for picking, packing, and shipping as separate line items, FBA Amazon fulfilment fees include every step of the fulfilment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two different FBA fulfilment fee pricing structures:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/help\/hub\/reference\/external\/GMUTB89XM7AATPR3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Low-Price FBA fulfilment fee pricing<\/a> \u2014 used when an item is priced under $10.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/help\/hub\/reference\/external\/GABBX6GZPA8MSZGW#wjz_cjc_jcb-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Regular FBA fulfilment fee pricing<\/a> \u2014 used when an item is priced at $10 or above.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For both pricing structures, the fulfilment fee varies depending on the product size and shipping weight of an item. There are 4 main product sizing tiers: Small standard, Large standard, Large bulky, and Extra-large. Each category has its own sizing specifications, which can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/help\/hub\/reference\/external\/GABBX6GZPA8MSZGW#wjz_cjc_jcb-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Seller Central\u2019s 2024 US FBA Fulfilment fee changes page<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within each pricing tier, shipping weight determines the fulfilment fee for each individual package. Amazon uses unit weight or dimensional weight (whichever is larger) as the \u201cshipping weight\u201d. The higher the shipping weight, the higher the fulfilment fee will be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both Low-Price and regular FBA fee pricing structures, apparel items and dangerous goods have their own FBA fee pricing structure, with fees ranging from $3.27 to $231.61+ depending on the weight of the item. Items that ship in product packaging (SIPP) are eligible for a fulfilment fee discount between $0.04 and $1.32, depending on the type of product being shipped.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, your FBA fulfilment fees are going to depend majorly on what exactly you\u2019re selling \u2014 there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that while packaging is included in FBA fulfilment fees, Amazon will ship your products in Amazon-branded boxes. This means that Amazon\u2019s branding is front and centre, which can eclipse any brand experience you intend to create through your shipping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may not be a deal breaker, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-fba-storage-fees\">2.

The price will vary depending on a few factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Time of year you are storing inventory (October, November, and December are busier months, and storage fees are subsequently higher)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical size of items<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type of item (if they are dangerous goods, they will be more expensive to store)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether or not your brand qualifies for the storage utilisation surcharge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-long-term-storage-fees\">Long-term storage fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon also charges long-term storage fees for inventory that remains unsold for more than 365 days.

Return processing fees for these categories are charged for each returned unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inventory removal and disposal fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide you no longer want to use FBA, it can be costly to remove your inventory from their fulfilment centres. If you choose to have Amazon remove and return your inventory to you, or to dispose of it for you, they\u2019ll charge $1.04-$14.32+ per unit depending on the shipment\u2019s weight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-unplanned-services-fees\">Unplanned services fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon has very strict seller requirements, and they also use fees to penalize sellers for not following their rules (here is an article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/common-mistakes-amazon-avoid\/\">avoiding mistakes when selling on Amazon<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Amazon will charge a labelling fee between $0.20 and $0.40 to sellers who do not follow their strict <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/shipping-barcode\/\">barcode label<\/a> specifications for FBA stock. An unplanned FBA prep fee between $0.20 and $2.00 is charged to sellers who have not prepared products in accordance with the stringent packaging and prep guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manual-processing-fees\">Manual processing fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Amazon may charge you a <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/help\/hub\/reference\/external\/G202061550\">manual processing fee<\/a> between $0.15 and $0.30 if you choose not to provide any information on a shipment\u2019s contents when shipping to Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-package-prep-fees\">Package prep fees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can always choose to have Amazon prep and package products for you \u2014 for an additional fee. Depending on your margins and order volume, this can either prevent hassle for your business or incur unnecessary additional costs (between $0.70 and $2.55 per unit depending on product category, size tier, and selected service[s]).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inbound-placement-service-fee-nbsp\">Inbound placement service fee&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As of March 1, 2024, Amazon charges a per-unit fee between $0.21 and $6.00 to distribute inventory to fulfilment centres closer to customers. The exact fee per unit depends on the item\u2019s size tier and shipping weight, how many fulfilment centres you are sending inventory to, and inbound location. Amazon-optimised shipment splits are not subject to this fee.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-low-level-inventory-fee-nbsp\">Low level inventory fee&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As of April 1, 2024, Amazon may charge merchants a fee if a product\u2019s inventory level relative to its short- and long-term historical demand is below 28 days. Fees range from $0.89 to $1.11 per unit depending on the item\u2019s sizing tier, shipping weight, and historical days of supply.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inbound-defect-fee-nbsp\">Inbound defect fee&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If your inbound inventory shipments don\u2019t comply with Amazon\u2019s FBA requirements, you may be charged a fee. This per-unit fee ranges from $0.04 to $0.07, depending on item sizing tier, shipping weight, and defect type.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"calculate\">Note: This is meant to serve as a high-level overview and is by no means comprehensive \u2014 there are several additional potential fees that accompany Amazon FBA. See their <a href=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/external\/help-page.html?itemID=201074400&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref=efph_201074400_bred_201112670\">Seller Central<\/a> documentation for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-calculate-amazon-fba-seller-fees\">How to calculate Amazon FBA seller fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, all Amazon sellers must pay to sell on the marketplace. Amazon takes a cut of every purchase in the form of a referral fee. Referral fees vary by product category, ranging between 5% and 45%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as you now know, there\u2019s more to Amazon FBA than selling fees. If you don\u2019t stay on top of how much you\u2019re paying Amazon, you may find that your profits are lower than expected, or even that you\u2019re barely breaking even. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to calculate your total FBA costs, so that you know exactly how much you\u2019re spending on Amazon FBA \u2013 and whether it\u2019s worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are a few tips for calculating your Amazon FBA costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Consider your product and order details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate your Amazon FBA costs, you\u2019ll first need to gather the following data points for your business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Number of orders per month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average number of items per order<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average sale price per item<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average production cost per item<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average weight and dimensions per item<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The weight and dimensions information will help you compute your fulfilment and storage fees, while information on your orders, pricing and production cost will help you calculate margins, profitability, and seller fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Include the cost of your seller plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to factor all costs into your Amazon FBA total \u2013 including the cost of simply selling on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two plans for Amazon sellers to choose from based on monthly order volume: the Individual plan and the Professional plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Individual plan is for merchants selling fewer than 40 items per month, and involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No monthly seller fee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$0.99 fee for each item sold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Variable post-sale fees depending on category<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Professional plan is for merchants selling over 40 items per month, and includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monthly subscription fee of $39.99<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Variable post-sales fees depending on category<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Review your monthly cost and profit breakdowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already use Amazon FBA, make sure to review your monthly bills. Small fees can add up quickly, and often without a merchant realizing it \u2013 so try to parse every cost, charge, and fee as individual line items, rather than grouping costs together. That way, you can identify your biggest spending areas, and determine whether Amazon FBA is the most profitable and cost-effective fulfilment option for your brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>[Read more: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/ecommerce-fulfillment\/fulfillment-costs\/\"><span>Order Fulfilment Costs and 3PL Pricing Models: Everything You Need to Know<\/span><\/a><span>]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-request-pricing-from-an-fba-alternative\">4.
