Amazon Announces 2027 US FBA Fee Changes — Fulfillment Fees Up $0.19 per Unit on Average, Storage Surcharges Restructured
Amazon published its 2027 updates to US referral and Fulfillment by Amazon fees. FBA fulfillment fees will rise by an average of $0.19 per unit sold (about 0.8% of the average item's selling price), with some products going up and others going down, and most changes take effect January 15, 2027. From February 1, 2027, Amazon will drop the storage utilization surcharge, fold the aged inventory surcharge into a single age-based monthly storage rate, and narrow the low-inventory-level fee to inventory below 28 days of supply. The fuel and logistics surcharge stays unchanged.
Real-World Impact
At Amazon's stated average increase of $0.19 per unit, a seller shipping 1,000 FBA units a month would pay about $190 more per month in fulfillment fees — though individual ASINs may rise more, less, or even fall depending on size tier and price.
Key Points
- FBA fulfillment fees increase by an average of $0.19 per unit sold, roughly 0.8% of the average item's selling price
- Fees for some products will increase and others will decrease, so each fee more closely matches Amazon's cost to fulfill that product
- Most changes take effect January 15, 2027; storage and low-inventory-level fee changes take effect February 1, 2027
- The storage utilization surcharge is eliminated, and the aged inventory surcharge is folded into monthly storage fees as a single age-based rate — inventory that sells through in under six months sees flat or lower fees, while aged inventory pays more
- The low-inventory-level fee will apply only when inventory falls below 28 days of supply, based on actual shipments in the four weeks before and after the assessment date (replacing the trailing 30- and 90-day sales method)
- The FBA fuel and logistics surcharge remains unchanged; the full fee summary also covers small and large standard-size items, items priced above $50, Buy X Get Y promotions, Multi-Channel Fulfillment and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution
