FBA parcel fee update, starting October 15
To simplify our fees and lower your costs, we’re updating the way we calculate Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) fees for parcel-size products in certain fee categories.
Earlier this year, we began to use unit weight only, instead of the greater of unit weight or dimensional weight, to calculate FBA fulfilment fees for parcels in the “Clothing and Accessories” and “Backpacks and Handbags” categories in some European stores. To ensure fees align with our costs, we replaced two parcel size tiers (small and standard) with seven more granular size tiers.
Starting October 15, 2025, we’ll extend this update to parcel-size products in the following categories, which will reduce fees for the majority of items.
- Baby Pushchairs and Safety Equipment
- Door, Window and Shower Accessories
- Eyewear Protection
- Footwear
- Furniture Accessories
- Grocery and Gourmet
- Home Adhesives and Cable Ties
- Home Linen and Rugs
- Luggage Accessories
- Mattresses
- Packing Material
- Pet Clothing and Food
- Printer and Scanner accessories
- Reusable Work and Safety Gloves
These changes will come into effect on October 15 in our UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain stores. On November 1 changes will apply in our Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Poland and Ireland stores, including for “Clothing and Accessories” and “Backpacks and Handbags” which don’t yet use unit weight only.
These fee updates will apply to local and Pan-European FBA, the European Fulfilment Network, Remote Fulfilment between the UK and the EU, the Ships in Product Packaging programme and the returns processing fee.
Additionally, from November 1, the return processing fee will apply to items in the “Backpacks and Handbags” category with a high return rate, to address the operational costs of returns and reduce waste. The returns processing fee only applies to orders fulfilled in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and products that have return rates above a threshold specific to each category.

I was expecting my fees to come down for 90% of my catalogue when I looked into this, however the calculator is now online and showing most of my fees are going up?
From the rate card:
Medium Parcel 2 - £3.10 plus 0.03p per 100 grams.
I have a calculation from your fee calculator showing a Medium parcel 2 weighing 740 grams costing £3.40.
Shouldn't this be £3.10 + £0.03 x 8 = £3.34?
This isn't an isolated issue, its across all my listings, and the majority seem to being going up not down...
