Fuel and logistics-related surcharge: FBA, MCF, and BWP in US and CA
Elevated costs in fuel and logistics have increased the cost of operating across the industry. We have absorbed these increased costs so far. However, similar to other major carriers, when costs remain elevated, we implement temporary surcharges on our fulfillment fees to recover a portion of the actual cost increases we are experiencing.
Starting April 17, 2026, a 3.5% fuel and logistics-related surcharge will be applied to fulfillment fees across Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) in the US and Canada as well as to Remote Fulfillment with FBA from the US into Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Starting May 2, 2026, this surcharge will take effect for Buy with Prime in the US and Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) in the US and Canada. Due to the work we have already done together to lower costs, this surcharge is meaningfully lower than other major carriers.
The surcharge will be calculated on your fulfillment fees, not on the sale price of your items. On average, this equates to $0.17 per unit for US FBA, though this will vary based on your item's size and dimensions. The Revenue Calculator, Profit Analytics, and Fee and Economics Preview reports have been updated to reflect the surcharge and provide both the per-unit impact and the full business impact for your FBA products.
We know this impacts your business. The tools above are available to help you plan, and we will continue to evaluate this surcharge as conditions evolve.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership.

These fees are never temporary. Please advise how long we should plan them to be part of our cost structure.

We have ceased FBA over 8 years ago, it was our best business decision ever! Now tell us: is there any seller happy here? any topic or post about being happy with Amazon? ZERO

So, are you going to remove buy boxes when we increase prices to cover this surcharge?? Hmmm
Why is it that you can always increase fees, but sellers can't raise their prices to cover those fees?

Seeing as Amazon is increasing it's fees due to current real-world events, will you be allowing Sellers to increase their item and reimbursements costs as we too have to deal with the same real-world events.?
1. If yes - How is Amazon facilitating that change and helping Sellers to do so?
2. If no - Why not? Why do you get to cover additional costs but we don't?

Unbelievable. The value proposition for FBA sellers worsens every day.

“Temporary” surcharges have a way of becoming permanent.
We’ve seen it with peak and fuel fees before — they never go away, they just get renamed.
When costs go up, sellers pay more. When costs go down, fees stay the same.
That’s not a temporary adjustment — that’s a one-way increase.
