Fulfillment by Amazon U.S. Fee Changes Begin February 22, 2017
Dec 15, 2016

FBA fees in the U.S. in 2017 will be adjusted to reflect the changing costs of storage, fulfillment, transportation, and customer service. The new rates will not take effect until February 22, 2017, or later. We’re notifying you now to give you time to plan for these changes. In addition to updating our storage and fulfillment fees, FBA is introducing the following changes:

Consolidation of Fulfillment Fees: Effective February 22, 2017, the Order Handling, Pick & Pack, and Weight Handling fees will be consolidated into a single, per-unit Fulfillment Fee.
Change to Seller Shipment Requirements: Effective July 19, 2017, Amazon will increase how often you are asked to send items to multiple destinations when creating your shipping plan. For each shipping plan, you may choose to follow Amazon's guidance or use the Inventory Placement Service, which gives you the option to ship to fewer destinations. A per-item service fee applies when you use the Inventory Placement Service; the fee depends on the number of destinations you choose.
Alignment of Q4 Inventory Storage Fees: Effective October 1, 2017, the monthly fee for inventory storage in October will be increased for Standard-Size and Oversize units to be consistent with the storage fees for November and December. With the reduction in fulfillment fees, sellers that reduce the storage space they use in October have the opportunity to pay lower total FBA fees in October.
Alignment of Q4 Fulfillment Fees: Effective October 1, 2017, we will reduce the Fulfillment Fee for all items shipped in October. October fulfillment fees will be consistent with fulfillment fees in November and December. With the reduction in fulfillment fees, sellers that reduce the storage space they use in October have the opportunity to pay lower total FBA fees in October.
Higher Fees for Media products: Effective February 22, 2017, the Fulfillment Fees for Media items will be increased to match the Fulfillment Fees for Non-Media items.
Elimination of Zero-Fee Fulfillment: Effective February 22, 2017, the Zero-Fee Fulfillment discount for standard-sized items that sell for $300 or more will be discontinued. Fees based on the product size tier will apply.
