Before understanding the Amazon logistics placement fees, as usual, I would like to introduce to you the major categories into which the Amazon logistics placement service fees are classified, which are the costs of Amazon FBA logistics. So after we understand Amazon FBA logistics and distribution, let’s take a look at what Amazon logistics placement fees are.
Amazon FBA fee = fulfillment fee + storage fee [monthly storage fee + long-term storage fee] + warehouse inventory placement service fee [product preparation (labeling, labeling and sealing, unplanned labeling) and inventory removal (sealing, return, abandoned goods)]
Execution fee = (order processing fee + sorting and packaging fee + weighing and processing fee)
Amazon US FBA storage fees: For standard and oversized items, the monthly inventory fee increases by $0.05 per cubic foot; starting September 15, 2018, long-term storage fees will be charged monthly; all items stored for more than one year will have a minimum long-term storage fee of $0.50 per unit per month.
The Inventory Performance Index is evaluated every three months and applies to all professional sellers who ship through FBA. A score below 350 means that the seller's inventory will be restricted.
Amazon's consolidation and distribution of warehouses also affect the calculation of fees. Consolidation means that FBA products are concentrated in the same Amazon FBA warehouse, and distribution of warehouses means that Amazon divides the same batch of goods and the same SKU products you created into 1 to 3 FBA warehouses. Amazon's backend defaults to separate warehouses for delivery. This is to improve the buyer experience and arrange FBA products in corresponding FBA warehouses in hot-selling areas or areas with high demand. However, it is not very convenient for sellers to manage, and it will also increase logistics costs. Therefore, sellers want to reduce costs by combining warehouses. However, because the combined warehouse fees allowed by Amazon FBA are very high, sellers will think of using some more clever ways to combine warehouses to reduce logistics costs.
You can set up warehouse consolidation in the Amazon backend. Go to setting→Fulfillment by amazon→Inbound settings→Edit, then select Inventory Placement Service and click Update. After the backend warehouse consolidation function is set up, it will take effect on new FBA shipments. However, a consolidation fee will also be charged for consolidation. The specific fees are as follows: After Standard-Size products are merged into warehouses, a consolidation fee of 0.3USD will be charged for each product. After Oversize products are merged into warehouses, a consolidation fee of 1.3USD will be charged for each product. You can set it according to the actual situation.
