Overview

Amazon has permanently lowered its Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees on the Polish marketplace by roughly half, with the change taking effect on March 12 2024. The cut applies to most domestic and European‑network orders processed in Poland and has no expiration date. Sellers targeting Europe should pay close attention because the reduced cost structure can dramatically improve margins and open new growth avenues.

Key Points

• Average 50 % fee reduction — A standard‑size item that previously cost €3.00 per unit to fulfill now costs about €1.50, while a heavyweight product sees its fee drop from €7.00 to €3.50.
• Permanent pricing — The new rates are not a limited‑time promotion; they remain in force indefinitely unless Amazon announces another change.
• Wide eligibility — Domestic FBA, European Fulfillment Network (EFN) shipments, and Multi‑Channel Fulfillment (MCF) orders shipped from Polish warehouses all benefit from the lower fees.
• Specific exclusions — Pan‑European FBA orders and shipments routed through other Amazon EU marketplaces (e.g., DE, FR, IT) do not receive the discount.
• Robust infrastructure — Poland now hosts 11 Amazon fulfillment centers, a network built since the launch of Amazon.pl in 2021, providing delivery speeds comparable to Germany or France.
• Strategic market size — Poland ranks among the largest e‑commerce markets in Central and Eastern Europe, with internet penetration above 80 % and a steady rise in online consumer spending.

How the New Fee Structure Works

1. Automatic rate application — Once the March 12 update is live, every eligible order fulfilled from a Polish warehouse is charged the reduced fee without any seller action. Example: A seller shipping 200 units of a 300 g paperback book from Warsaw sees the per‑unit fulfillment charge drop from €2.80 to €1.40 automatically.
2. Tier‑based calculation — Fees continue to be determined by product size and weight tiers; the percentage cut remains roughly 50 % across all tiers. : An oversized item in the “Large‑Standard” tier that originally incurred €9.00 per unit now incurs €4.50, preserving the same tier‑based structure.
