Amazon’s new rules are implemented, and sellers complain: They are getting uglier and uglier!

Amazon has made a number of adjustments to logistics costs this year, the most troublesome of which is the newly added warehousing configuration service fee.

In the past, sellers often thought about how to merge warehouses to reduce costs. But now, although there is an option of not dividing warehouses, the corresponding transfer costs need to be borne by themselves . Sellers are complaining that Amazon’s greed is too ugly!

The new fees will take effect on Friday, March 1, 2024. Currently, sellers can foresee the fees associated with inbound configuration options when creating shipments, and this change undoubtedly brings new challenges and considerations to sellers.
