Change of Amazon FBA fees in 2019. Some changes come into effect as of 15th February 2019.

Amazon is changing its policy regarding fees for goods stored for between 181-365 days. Changes to long-term storage fees come into effect from 15 August 2019; however, in the fee assessment cycle occurring on 15 February 2019, goods that are located in warehouses for between 181-365 days will not incur additional long-term storage fees. The new rules apply to all European markets.

The key changes regarding FBA inventory fees in 2019 are:

No Long Term Storage fees for inventory from 181 to 365 days. These changes will already be in effect for the settlement cycle on 15 February. For reference, the previous FBA fee for goods stored in German warehouses was typically EUR 26 per cubic metre for products up to 180 days, while the Long Term Storage fee for products in the 181-365 day range was EUR 500 per cubic metre. The storage fee for products over 365 days remains unchanged.

Monthly settlement of Long Term Storage. Long Term Storage Fees for products over 365 days will be charged on a monthly basis. The change comes into effect on 15.08.2019.

A minimum Long Term Storage Fee will be introduced. The fee will be GBP 0.10 or EUR 0.10 per item per month for products over 365 days. One of the fees will be charged depending on which is higher - the fee per cubic metre for the product according to the Long Term Storage rate or the minimum rate. The new rules will apply from 15.08.2019.

Reduced monthly fees for oversized products. The new fees come into effect on 15.08.2019.
