UPS and Placement Fees
Yesterday I shipped a box of 100 products for a shipping cost of $12.12. Today I am sending a duplicate of the same box, and now Amazon wants $23 for a placement fee and UPS wants $16 to ship it, for a total of over $40. For the same box of 100 items. Unsustainable to quadruple pricing overnight. Mods??? We do all the prep and no labeling is required at Amazon.

The new Inbound Region option is crazy and no way to opt-out.
I'm concerned about the minimal shipment split requirements additional costs for sellers, ranging from $15 to $45 per shipment.

This just got a shipment that costs $19 for two boxes, going to two different FBA warehouse, to $91 because if a $72 placement…jeez Amazon, is the goal not to have anything sold via FBA?
Seller_WO5inWSJlKva5
most likely Amazon is trying lower few cents of storage/cube feet and rocket increase FBA inbound fee.

I am wondering if it's still worth it to sell here if expenses take 60%.
Seller_Sram36TnVt73c
my tax guy asked me the same question....
Seller_39dX92PKgz9xt
I agree. I don't think most sellers look this closely at the fees. Once you really run the math, it is not worth it any more.
Seller_0yqEPGIha69EN
still better margins than most companies
Seller_vWhgseZxKF7Jj
not really. I've been selling on Amazon for 15 years. It used to be profitable. But if it wipes out 60% of the revenue. Plus deduct your cost of goods, there is nothing left.
Seller_Don6m8XiYucKY
My inbound shipment fee doubled compared with last week. Paper thin profit margin, I think it's time for me to change to another platform or just quit online selling business.
Seller_lLkSD5pme4e7u
yeah.. I’m having the same problem.
Basically a new, unannounced, very substantial fee that quadruples the cost of getting the product to Amazon without any way of opting out.
Seller_Zc9Y2xguxQv8V
Yes similar thing here. UPS rate increased 30%, and placement fee added another 40%... so total shipping fee now doubled starting 3/1... I understand the new placement fee part... but not the ups rate change.
