Define outrageous?
Using Inventory Placement has always been a fee service. $.30 for standard sized units, $1.30 for oversized.

I’ve been using since before it was announced and don’t find the fees outrageous. If you’re talking about something else, kindly post a screenshot.

If all of the units in the case are the same, you can change the packaging type on your shipping plan from individual products to case-packed products and it will allow you to ship an entire case pack to a single FC. You will have to input the number of units in one case.
I’ve looked at the placement fees a few times and can’t justify them for my operation.
For me, a shipment of 500 standard-sized items normally results in roughly 300 going to the same warehouse anyway. The $150 in placement fees is actually just paying for the remaining 200 items to go to the same place. So I look at it as a .75 per item fee.
But I can appreciate the value of the service for sellers who get a worse mix of warehouses. (For example, if I were shipping 100 items each to 5 warehouses, I would re-evaluate).
I sent a box today to CT, it has 64 items in it, cost was $11.21.
That works out to be 17.5 cents each. Pretty darn cheap!
Mostly CD’s and other smaller items, but then those are the better items to sell on Amazon.
