Fulfilment by Amazon

Fulfilment by Amazon Makes Business Sense

Cost Effective

With Fulfilment by Amazon, you can offer the same proven shipping, service and support programmes to buyers that Amazon does. Since FBA listings on Amazon.co.uk and on other Amazon Marketplaces in the EU are eligible in most cases for FREE Super Saver Delivery and Amazon Prime, you can maximise your pricing and stay competitive.

Amazon’s extensive Europe-wide Fulfilment network maximises efficiency making it possible to provide competitive pricing for Fulfilment by Amazon. When you include the cost of overhead you could be spending on warehouse space, packing supplies, postage and labour, dealing with customer service inquiries and returns handling, the savings can really add up.

For valuable items you are selling through FBA on Amazon.co.uk, you can now take advantage of Zero fee fulfilment, which means Zero Order Handling fees, Zero Pick & Pack fees, and Zero Weight Handling fees on standard-size items selling for £300 or more in the UK and 350 € in France and Germany. These items will no longer incur fulfilment fees. Selling on Amazon fees, storage fees and other applicable fees still apply.

How does pricing work?

There are no additional set-up charges or subscription fees when you add Fulfilment by Amazon to your seller account. Fulfilment fees vary depending on the type of item (media or non-media), its dimensions and weight, and the shipping method used. ¹

Long Term Storage Programme

In a recent survey most sellers responded that they don’t expect to store merchandise in FBA for longer than one year, and indeed most FBA inventory sells through much quicker than that. However, inventory that is overstocked in our fulfilment centres limits our ability to provide you with space for fast-selling products customers want. Through the Long-Term Storage programme, we will provide you with the information and tools to enable you to improve your return on your inventory investment and focus your business on products that customers desire most.

- A semiannual Long-Term Storage Fee of £882.50 per cubic metre (£25 per cubic foot) will be applied to any Units that have been stored in an Amazon fulfilment centre for one year or longer. The fee is in addition to the regular Inventory Storage Fee and will not be charged if a request has been made to remove or dispose of the Units prior to the fee being charged. Each seller may maintain a single Unit of each ASIN in its inventory, which will be exempted from the annual Long-Term Storage Fee. Please review our online Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

- Removal rates for Media and Non-Media is £0.60 per Unit including shipping² (£1.00 per Unit including shipping² for oversize items). Alternatively, these items can be disposed of for £0.20 per Unit (£0.50 per Unit for oversize items).
