Amazon's FBA Fees (UK and Eu Sites) Make no Sense
Hi All,
I wanted to ask you lot about something that's been puzzling me for ages, relating to Amazon's FBA fulfilment fees. With regard to my inventory, I have a number of products that are almost identical but sold as separate ASIN's, yet Amazon's fees for fulfilling them are all different. In some cases, you have two products that are an identical size and weight, yet Amazon will charge e.g. 30 cents more to send one to a customer in Europe, than the other.
Does anyone know why these discrepancies exist? How do Amazon calculate what to charge for the fulfilment fee? Is there anything that can be done to fix such discrepancies?
I did wonder if the answer might lie in the weight and dimensions of the product as entered in the back end but I can't see any evidence of that causing the issue.
I look forward to your replies.

If you think you are being charged too much for one of the items you can request a cubiscan from Seller Support.
If you think you are being charged too little on one of the item, rejoice and sit on your hands.

Is this what the product details show or are you assuming that Amazon have measured the 2 items the same because they are, in fact, the same?

Although it is largely the dimensions which determine the FBA fee, it can also be the price. Some smaller items are eligible for lower FBA fees, but only when sold below a threshold price - £10 in the UK.
So two identically packaged items can have different FBA fees.
