Attention Amazon sellers! Since January 18, the expenses of 6 items have risen sharply, with a maximum increase of 150%! Amazon's six expenses rose sharply, up as high as 150%
At the end of the new year, with the rising freight, product procurement costs, labor costs and promotion costs, the profit space is constantly compressed, and many sellers go farther and farther on the road of "cross-border philanthropists". Even if the living environment of sellers is already very difficult, Amazon's big knife to sellers has never stopped. Amazon FBA shipping
1. Six expenses rose sharply, with a maximum increase of 150%
Attention sellers! Amazon has issued a fee update notice. From January 18, 2022, Amazon will have six fee increases! Among them, "Amazon logistics remove and discard order fee change" increased the most, up to 150%! Amazon FBA shipping
For sellers, a number of goods have traveled from China to FBA, and the cost of products, transportation and storage are not included in a series of expenses of advertising investment. Now not only can't sell, but also abandon it. In the end, the cost is still increasing. It's really a big loss!
2. Removal and disposal order fees

Common standard size products ranging from 1 pound to 2 pounds increased by 130% from $0.48 to $1.14. For example, large commodities below 1 pound rose from $0.6 to $1.5, an increase of 150%.
The rising cost of removal and disposal once again warns the seller's friends that they must be careful, careful and careful.
FBA shipment should not be carried out rashly without sufficient product and category research. If this batch of goods becomes unsalable inventory, even if you want to "throw it away", you will pay a greater cost than before.
In addition to the largest increase in removal and disposal costs, Amazon's logistics costs and storage costs will also rise to varying degrees.
3. Logistics cost
Small, large and super large commodities will show an average net increase of US $0.20 per piece. Amazon will charge an extra $0.50 to $12 for larger items. Businesses should pay particular attention to medium-sized and oversized products. The price per pound increased by 0.05 cents. According to the actual delivery process, it may also be a large expenditure for the seller.
Similar increases will occur in clothing categories, about US $0.20 per piece, and US $0.50 per piece for larger products. The logistics cost of goods classified as dangerous goods will also increase, ranging from 20 cents to $13.
4. Storage cost
From February 1, 2022, Amazon's storage expenses will be increased to the following levels:
January September: $0.83/cubic foot (standard), $0.53/cubic foot (extra large)
October December: $2.40/cubic foot (standard), $1.20/cubic foot (extra large)
From January to September, it increased by 0.06 cents per cubic foot, and the storage rate remained unchanged from October to December.
From May 15, 2022, Amazon will impose a surcharge on expired inventory. The cost includes 271-365 days of delivery of goods at a cost of $1.50 per cubic foot. The standard fee for 365 days (or more) remains unchanged at $6.90 per cubic foot (or $0.15 per unit).
5. Pretreatment and labeling services
Amazon will increase the cost of Amazon logistics (FBA) pretreatment service to keep pace with the operating costs of Amazon labeling, plastic bag packaging and packaging.
6. Light commodity program cost
For Amazon logistics light and small commodity plan, Amazon will increase the maximum weight requirement of commodities from 12 ounces to 3 pounds.
7. What can sellers do
At this time, the seller should go to the seller's background to download the inventory report to see which inventory is unsalable inventory, which inventory is the inventory for which long-term storage fees will be levied, and which inventory belongs to dead inventory that cannot be sold. All these inventory should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Otherwise, after January 18, 2022, when you create a removal or disposal order, you will have to pay more than double.
There are those sellers who use disposable packaging. When the products are unpacked and returned by the buyer, these goods may become "non saleable products".
It is suggested that products with high return rate should not use disposable packaging such as "plastic packaging" and "heat shrinkable film" in packaging design. Try to use the packaging design that can be closed repeatedly, which will make your product less likely to become unsalable. Amazon FBA shipping
