Amazon FBA logistics fees have been widely criticized by sellers, so seller friends are also eager to know how FBA charges, whether there are specific charging standards for reference, or to let friends know where the money is spent and how it is spent.
The composition of FBA logistics costs:
The total cost consists of two parts, one part is performance cost. For ease of understanding, we can explain it as the operating cost; the other part is the storage cost, which is charged according to the area and service life of the product. FBA logistics cost is the sum of operating costs and storage costs.
Operating Fee:
A fixed fee based on product type, size and weight. Amazon’s performance calculator is often used to understand the cost-effectiveness of selling products using FBA. The calculator comes in two options: standard size and oversize. Sellers only need to enter parameters such as size and weight according to their own product specifications, and the computer will estimate the corresponding price for the seller’s reference.
Warehouse costs:
Warehouse costs are more complex than operating costs. There are short-term monthly storage fees and long-term storage fees. More than 6 months and less than 12 months will be charged additional storage fees. For products older than 12 months, more additional storage fees will be charged. Warm reminder: Long-term warehousing costs have doubled, not just a little bit. Be especially wary of sellers selling products that don’t sell well.
In summary, storage fees are based on average daily volume in cubic feet per day and vary between the off-season (January-September) and peak season (October-December). For example, the clothing, shoes and bags category is £0.39 from January to September and £0.55 from October to December; the other categories are £0.65 from January to September and £0.91 from October to December.
For the convenience of sellers, the Amazon platform provides detailed query of FBA product cost. The specific operations are as follows:
1. Enter the Amazon inventory management page and search for the corresponding products.
2. Click the amount under fee preview in the list.
3. Click Show FBA fulfilmente details in the pop-up page to view the specific details of FBA costs.
Through the above three steps, you can understand the detailed cost of FBA for a product. If seller friends still feel that the cost is too high after repeated weighing, they can use third-party overseas warehouse services, and the overall cost is much lower than FBA.
