Hello from Amazon Services,

This continues to be an incredibly challenging period for entrepreneurs and small business owners around the world, but you continue to meet the challenge and serve customers every day. In 2020, we opened 4 new buildings to support operations in Japan and grew our fulfillment and logistics network to efficiently get customers what they need.

We recognized the uncertainty the COVID-19 pandemic creates for small businesses, and in December, we made the decision to postpone our annual fee adjustments until the spring of 2021. Now, as we look ahead with vaccines currently being distributed and a path to return to normalcy, our next fee adjustment has been scheduled for June 16, 2021.

While the costs to fulfill, transport, and deliver orders increased substantially, most referral fees will not change, and we are making only moderate increases to FBA fulfilment fees. Please review the fee change highlights, as well as each fee detail page linked below.

Finally, we are pleased to announce that, effective April 22, 2021, we have launched 2021 FBA Partnered Carrier Yamato Option Discount Promotion for all professional sellers to further stand by entrepreneurs and small business owners during these hard times.
