Amazon Slashes FBA Fulfilment Fees for Small Oversize Products
New update to benefit sellers in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain
In an effort to support its sellers and improve Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) services, Amazon has announced a significant reduction in fulfilment fees for small oversize products across its UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain stores. The fee reductions, aimed at encouraging a wider selection of small oversize items, will take effect starting September 16, 2024. This announcement was recently made on Amazon UK's Seller Central platform.
Fee Reductions Across Multiple Markets
UK, France, Italy, and Spain: FBA fulfilment fees for small oversize items (dimensions ≤ 61 x 46 x 46 cm, weight up to 1.76 kg) will see a reduction of 12-30% across all four small oversize size bands.
Germany: The fee reduction will range from 22-28% for two specific small oversize size bands (items ≤ 61 x 46 x 46 cm, weight up to 1.26 kg).
Amazon's move is aimed at helping sellers reduce operational costs, thereby enabling them to expand their product offerings and enhance their competitiveness in the marketplace.

Impact on Sellers
With the reduction in fees, sellers can expect to improve their profit margins on small-oversize products. This is particularly beneficial for those looking to diversify their inventory and cater to a wider customer base. The unchanged rates for other domestic FBA fulfilment fees mean that sellers can focus on optimizing their small-oversize product lines without worrying about increased costs in other areas.
No Changes to Other Fulfilment Fees
While small oversize fees will be reduced, Amazon confirmed that all other domestic FBA fulfilment fee rates in its UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain stores will remain unchanged. Sellers can access the full list of updated rates on the “2024 Fulfilment by Amazon Fee Changes” page on Seller Central.
A Boost for Sellers Ahead of Peak Season
The timing of this fee reduction could not be better as sellers prepare for the busy holiday shopping season. With lower fees, small business owners and larger enterprises can optimise their logistics and focus on growing their offerings, thereby boosting sales potential.
The upcoming changes to FBA fulfilment fees represent Amazon's commitment to supporting its sellers by making managing their inventory easier and more cost-effective. By lowering fees for small, oversized products, Amazon is enhancing seller opportunities and improving the shopping experience for customers across Europe. Sellers are encouraged to review the updated fee structure on Seller Central to maximize their benefits from these changes.
