Read onlyI have a parcel that measures 100 x 61 x 50 and weighs 15kg.
The Revenue Calculator for the UK store says my new fba fee will be £30.44
If that parcel had identical dimensions but weighed 25kg then the Revenue Calculator says the fee is £15.74
What is going on here? Anyone have a clue? Im trying to model my new fba fees but this is nonsense.
Amazon have a disclaimer on the revenue calculator that it may not be accurate and sellers should consult things like the rate card.
The £30.44 is taken from the bulky oversize fee of £11.53 plus 61x (dimensional weight) the per kilo fee of 31p.
The £15.74 doesn't seem to come from anywhere. Moving over 23kg puts it in heavy oversize which should be £13.04 plus 90p per kilo.
That is like the FBA/UPS promotion they ran a couple of years ago.
The promotion increased the costs by around 60p a parcel. Once the promotion ended the rates reduced again.
I spent hours of my life trying to get seller support to understand but had to give up defeated.
I can see where you are getting the figure of 15.74 from but this is wrong and highly understated. I never use the FBA Revenue Calculator as I dont trust it at all.
The first attached image shows the figure you are getting....
However if you use the Current Rate card for shipping and manually calculate the cost you get a figure not far off the £30.44 you quoted. I calculated as this figure : £30.20
Calculation as follows:
