Understanding FBA Fee Structures
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees are the costs associated with Amazon storing, picking, packing, and shipping your products. These are primarily divided into fulfillment fees (per unit) and storage fees (per cubic foot). Knowing these numbers to the cent is the difference between a profitable brand and a failing one.
Common Types of FBA Fees
- Referral Fees: A percentage of the total sales price (usually 8-15%)
- Fulfillment Fees: Flat fees based on unit weight and dimensions
- Monthly Storage Fees: Based on the volume your stock occupies in the warehouse
- Aged Inventory Surcharges: Extra fees for stock stored longer than 180 days
- Removal/Disposal Fees: Costs to return or destroy unsellable inventory
