Among them, the logistics and distribution fees have ushered in a major adjustment, and from February 5, 2024, the size tier and fee changes in the United States will be updated.
Effective February 5, 2024, the small standard-size segment will be measured in 2-ounce intervals, and the large standard-size segment from 1 pound to 20 pounds will be measured in 4-ounce intervals. (These changes do not apply to apparel products).
In addition,The Small, Medium, Large, and Special Oversize segments will be replaced by new Large and Oversized size segments, which have new weight and size definitions for these segments.
See the definition of each size band in the table below
The greater of the unit weight or dimensional weight will be used to calculate fees for large standard-size products, large oversize products, and oversized products (except for oversized units over 150 lb).
Small standard-size and oversized items over 150 lb are charged using the unit weight.
This also means that for sellers of medium and large items, the fulfillment fee of FBA will increase significantly!
For products above 50 lbs, Fulfillment by Amazon** soars by $15!For heavy goods above 70 lbs, non-oversize, choosing a third-party overseas warehouse for delivery will save the seller a lot of money!
