2022 FBA fulfilment fee changes

This page details upcoming changes for the following fees:

• Fulfilment fee size and weight tier changes
• Fulfilment fee rate changes
• FBA Small and Light size, weight tier and rate changes

Starting March 31, 2022, we will introduce and remove certain size and weight tiers in our fulfilment fee rate card to better align fees with our fulfilment costs. See below for the changes that are being introduced within the envelope, parcel and oversize tiers.

Envelope size tiers

We will reduce the dimensions of the large envelope 960 g size tier from 33 x 23 x 5 cm or smaller to 33 x 23 x 4 cm or smaller. We will also introduce a new size tier, extra large envelope 960 g, with dimensions of 33 x 23 x 6 cm or smaller. All other size and weight tiers within the envelope tier will remain unchanged.

Parcel size tiers

We will introduce a new small parcel size and weight tier, which will result in two tiers within parcels. The size and weight tiers for parcels are shown below.

Dimension changes for parcels

Weight tier for parcels

Oversize size tiers

Starting March 31, 2022, we will use the dimensions and unit weight of your item to identify the size tier within oversize (small, standard and large oversize products). To determine the weight tier of the product, we will use the greater of unit or dimensional weight. The dimensional weight in kilograms is calculated as (length x width x height cm³) divided by 5000. See the example below. This change does not apply to special oversize.

Dimensional weight example

Starting March 31, 2022, the oversize tiers will have additional weight tiers (small oversize > 1.76 kg, standard oversize > 29.76 kg and large oversize > 31.5 kg) to account for larger dimensional weights. The maximum unit weight limits will remain unchanged at 1.76 kg for small oversize, 29.76 kg for standard oversize and 31.5 kg for large oversize. For example, if ASIN A has dimensions of 60*45*45 cm, a unit weight of 1.5 kg and a dimensional weight of 2.5 kg, it will qualify for the small oversize > 1.76 kg weight tier. If ASIN B has dimensions of 60*45*45 cm, a unit weight of 2.5 kg and a dimensional weight of 3.5 kg, it will qualify for the standard oversize ≤ 3.76 kg weight tier. The size and weight tiers for oversize are shown below.

Weight tiers for small, standard and large oversize

Starting May 12, 2022, a 4.3% fuel and inflation surcharge will be applied to FBA fulfilment fees for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

To help you sell between EU and UK after Brexit, we will offer a 20% discount on European fulfilment network (EFN) fees from the EU (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) to the UK and vice versa for a promotional period of one year, starting March 31, 2022.

Local and Pan-European FBA

European Fulfilment Network (EFN)

¹Fulfilment fees are applied based on the marketplace where the item is sold. For the Pan-European FBA programme, we continue to charge a per-unit surcharge for fulfilment of oversize items. The surcharge rate remains the same as was charged in 2021. For special oversize ASINs, the minimum referral fee will be adjusted to £25/€25 (compared to £15/€15 prior to March 31, 2022).

²We may review EFN fees and make adjustments with a 30-day notice when the FX rate change between the British pound and the euro exceeds 5% on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.

³Sellers with German FBA inventory who do not participate in the fulfilment Network Expansion (Central Europe Programme) authorising Amazon to store and process German FBA inventory in Amazon’s fulfilment network, including Poland and the Czech Republic, are charged an additional €0.26/£0.26/€0.27 (inclusive of Digital Sales Tax for France)/2.50 kr/1.15 PLN fulfilment fee per FBA unit shipped from German fulfilment centres for both standard FBA and Small and Light FBA.

Starting March 31, 2022, we will introduce the following changes to the FBA Small and Light programme in our stores in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, except where otherwise noted.

Increase in price eligibility threshold

To help make selling on Amazon more rewarding for sellers, we will increase the price eligibility threshold of Small and Light units from €10 to €11 in the France, Italy and Spain Amazon stores. The price eligibility threshold in the UK and Germany stores will remain the same at £9 and €10, respectively.

Introduction of new size and weight tiers

To continue providing a low-cost alternative to standard FBA fulfilment fees, we are expanding the maximum size and weight eligibility for envelope sizes up to 33 x 23 x 6 cm and 225 g, and we are introducing small parcel size and weight tiers of 35 x 25 x 12 cm, 150 g and 400 g. Envelopes that weight more than 225 g will remain ineligible for Small and Light.
