Amazon Adds Overmax Handling Surcharge for Extra-Large FBA Products
Effective: January 15, 2026
US FBA sellers with products exceeding 96 inches on the longest side or 130 inches in length plus girth
Amazon introduced an Overmax Handling Fee for FBA products that exceed 96 inches on the longest side, or 130 inches in length plus girth. The surcharge stacks on top of standard Extra-Large fulfillment fees and ranges from $17 to $25 per unit depending on weight. Sellers with large furniture, sporting goods, or oversized items face significantly higher fulfillment costs.
Real-World Impact
A 96×48×7" product that cost $33.55/unit to fulfill in 2025 now costs $50.55/unit — a 51% jump in fulfillment costs from the $17 Overmax surcharge alone.
Key Points
- Overmax classification applies to products exceeding 96" on the longest side, or 130" in length + girth
- Surcharge tiers: $17 (0–50 lb), $21 (50–70 lb), $25 (70–150 lb) per unit
- Fee stacks on top of standard Extra-Large FBA fulfillment fees — not a replacement
- Example: a 96×48×7" bulletin board that cost $33.55 to fulfill in 2025 now costs $50.55
- Effective January 15, 2026
