We’ve developed this feature in response to your feedback, addressing your need for more visibility into receive times when sending your inventory to us.”. Link

7. Fee increases “In 2026, FBA fees will increase by an average of $0.08 per unit sold, or less than 0.5% of an average item’s selling price. This is on top of no increase in US Referral and FBA fees in 2025. We have been working hard to drive innovation and efficiencies that keep costs down, which helps keep fee increases low for you. Our fee changes are significantly less than inflation and less than the 3.9%-5.9% annual cost increases from other major US carriers during the last two years.” Link

8. “Over the last two years, we’ve achieved significant milestones and have continued to invest in our Canadian and North American fulfilment network, sub same day and overnight delivery capabilities, and the addition of new operations sites to help enable even faster delivery speeds. We’ve also been working hard to drive innovation and efficiencies that keep costs down, which helps us keep fee increases low for you. For 2026, we’re pleased to announce there will be no increases to Canada referral and Fulfilment by Amazon fees.”

9. I have had some success helping some resellers and brands exit, find partners, and in other situations. If your business needs a pivot, please reply to this email with your status, and I am happy to discuss.
