Show Notes
Amazon introduces a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge for third-party sellers using Fulfillment by Amazon, effective April 17th, due to escalating fuel costs from the Iran war. The charge fully applies to Buy with Prime and Multi-Channel Fulfillment options by May 2nd. Amazon claims this temporary fee is lower than competitors, maintaining fairness for sellers and price stability for shoppers. As fuel prices remain high, shipping giants like UPS, FedEx, and USPS also increase their surcharges, with USPS raising rates by 8% starting April 26th. Amazons move reflects a balance between supporting partners and navigating real-world logistics challenges.
