The good news is here! From April 1st, sellers of large items such as large household appliances, bicycles and treadmills on Amazon's UK site can use FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) delivery.
Amazon announced that access to FBA for large objects will help improve logistics speed and consumer satisfaction. Sellers need to provide a distribution plan and the estimated floor area of the product. Sellers can see notifications from the platform on the product details page, and products that meet the standards can use FBA logistics after the new regulations take effect. The new regulations will apply to the five largest European countries-Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
Size rules:
Products with a length of more than 175cm, a weight of more than 31.5kg, and a circumference of more than 360cm are applicable to FBA. The new regulations have restrictions on the volume of products: the length does not exceed 300cm, and there is no circumference limit (but France, Italy and Spain have restrictions on the circumference. As a limit, the weight cannot exceed 662cm); the weight of packages arriving in the UK cannot exceed 140kg, and the upper limit in France is 300kg. For details, please refer to the official documents issued by Amazon in each region.
In terms of handling fees, Amazon will charge a commission of up to 15 euros for products (15 euros commissions are only for high-margin products). Sellers using FBA logistics can use Amazon to provide consumers with better delivery services. The weight will also have a cascading effect.
Other FBA logistics including Pan-European FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon Europe Integration Service) and European Fulfilment Network (EFN, Amazon European Unified Delivery) are currently not applicable to this new regulation. Due to the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the storage center of Amazon's UK site is also not applicable. Will no longer hoard the packages of the above two logistics providers.
