Amazon are preparing for greater utilization of our Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) network, and increased fulfilment and transportation operating costs across the supply chain. Justifying it as ‘Similar to major carriers’ they will introduce a holiday peak fulfilment fee to help cover increased seasonal costs.
What you need to know
- The holiday peak fulfilment fee will apply to select FBA orders delivered to buyers in the United Kingdom between the 15th of October 2025, and 14th of January 2026.
- The fee will apply to small and standard parcels, as well as large and extra-large envelopes, fulfilled via local FBA and Remote Fulfilment from the EU to the UK.
- The average fee will be £0.10 per parcel item and £0.05 per large or extra-large envelope item.
- The holiday peak fulfilment fee won’t apply to oversize or Low-Price FBA items.
Our selling partners are incredibly important to us, and this is not a decision we made lightly. The entire industry experiences increased operational costs over the festive season, and this change enables us to maintain delivery speed, expand fulfilment capacity, and support customer demand during this busy period.
