Items weighing more than 30kgs are classified as Oversize Heavy and Bulky.
The
Pick and Pack Fee is calculated on a per unit basis as per the below mentioned rates:
Small Size - Rs. 10
Standard Size - Rs. 15
Oversize - Rs. 25
The
Weight Handling Shipping Fee is calculated per shipment and is based on the outbound shipping weight using the following formula:
Outbound Shipping weight = Shipment weight + Packaging WeightThe
Weight Handling Shipping Fees for each Small item weighing 500 gms up to the 2 kgs is Rs. 30. Further, for each additional 500 gms, it is charged at Rs. 15. For Standard, Oversize and Oversize Heavy and Bulky items weighing more than 2kgs, we use Dimensional weight if it is greater than the Unit/Item weight.
Dimensional weight = (longest side * median side * shortest side)/5000
Packaging material used for each item is categorized as per the weight in the following manner:
Small Size - 80 gms
Standard Size - 100 gms
Oversize - 500 gms
Let’s take an example.
Order X has the following attributes:
Item Value: Rs 3000
Longest Side: 20 cm
Median Side: 15 cm
Shortest Side: 8 cm
Item Weight: 3000 gms
This falls in the standard size item category.
Item weight is 3000gms.
Dimensional weight = (20*15*8)/5000 = 0.48kgs
Since the dimensional weight is lower than the item weight, we will consider the item weight. Amazon uses a 100 gm packaging material. Hence, the Outbound shipping weight will be 3000+100 = 3100gms
The
Delivery Service fee (per unit) = 1% of the item value
The
Storage Fee calculated per cubic foot/month for all item types is Rs. 14.20.
Now, let us look at the fees.
The pick and pack fee will be INR 15
The weight handling shipping fee will be INR 165
The FBA Delivery service fee (1% of item value) will be INR 30
Total of this is INR 195. Service Tax of 14.5% = INR 28.27 is levied on this amount.
Hence, the total FBA Fees is INR 223.27 for Order X.
