1.2023 Holiday Peak Fulfillment Fee for Fulfillment by Amazon

Amazon’s (FBA) annual holiday peak shipping fee will be levied between October 15, 2023 and January 14, 2024. This seasonal fee is similar to fees charged by other major airlines to cover increased fulfillment and transportation operating costs during the busy holiday shopping season.

Holiday peak fulfillment fees for FBA in the US and Canada will remain unchanged from 2022. Including peak holiday deliveries, Amazon’s average delivery rate is still 30 percent cheaper than slower, standard deliveries from other major third-party logistics providers.

The holiday peak delivery fee will apply to U.S. FBA, Canadian FBA, Remote delivery with FBA, and Multi-Channel Delivery (MCF) programs, with the exception of U.S. FBA programs priced under $10.
