Overview

Starting January 15 2026, Amazon will raise a series of fulfillment fees that affect both standard FBA and its ancillary services. The adjustments are modest for core FBA orders but are considerably larger for Multi‑Channel Fulfillment (MCF) and Buy with Prime transactions. Sellers who rely on Amazon’s logistics to ship off‑Amazon sales should reassess cost structures now to avoid margin erosion.

Key Points

• Standard FBA fee lift — Average increase of $0.08 per unit, with the exact bump varying by product size and price tier.
• MCF surcharge — Single‑ and two‑unit orders see roughly $0.30 more per unit, while orders of three or more standard‑size items remain unchanged.
• Buy with Prime uptick — $0.24 added per unit across all order sizes, offset partially by a reduced minimum service fee that drops from $1.00 to $0.30.
• Western U.S. storage rise — Monthly pallet‑space cost climbs 19%, moving from $0.48 to $0.57 per cubic foot; other regions keep the same rate.
• Transportation fee jump — Standard shipping cost per cubic foot rises from $1.15 to $1.40, increasing the expense of moving inventory between Amazon facilities.
• Weight‑tier reclassification — New size tiers calculate fees using the greater of dimensional weight or actual weight, pushing some items into higher‑priced brackets.

How the New Fee Structure Works

1. Standard FBA recalibration —

   • Small standard‑size items under $10 incur an extra $0.12 per unit; those priced $10‑$50 add $0.25, and items above $50 see a $0.51 increase.
   • Large standard‑size items under $10 face no change, $10‑$50 items rise $0.05, and items over $50 increase by $0.31.

2. Multi‑Channel Fulfillment (MCF) adjustment —

   • For orders of one or two units, Amazon adds about $0.30 per unit, directly targeting the bulk of off‑Amazon sales.
   • Orders containing three or more standard‑size units keep the previous rate, encouraging sellers to bundle items to mitigate the surcharge.
