Where can I find Amazon disposal fees?

1. If a seller wants to remove inventory from an Amazon fulfillment center, they need to submit a removal order. Sellers can use removal orders to manage redundant inventory, including inventory that is slow-moving and not suitable for resale (unsalable inventory). It takes 10-14 business days for the goods in a removal order to be shipped from an Amazon fulfillment center. However, during the holidays (Golden Week, October, November, and December), it may take 30 business days or longer. Amazon will charge the seller 45 days after the removal, and the sellable inventory will still be available for purchase before it is removed.

2. Removal orders will be charged based on the size and weight of the items to be removed. Amazon will charge different fees for local and cross-border moves, but if the return destination is in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic or Poland, goods delivered through Amazon Logistics Europe Integrated Service will be charged the relevant fees according to local moving standards.

3. For standard size items (not exceeding 1000g), the fee is a minimum of £0.25 per item and a maximum of £0.50 + £0.40 (for each additional 1000g).

4. For oversized items, the minimum charge for each item is £0.5 and the maximum is £3.00 + £0.40 (for each additional 1,000 grams).

5. For cross-border transfers, there are two regions, namely Region 1 (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania) and Region 2 (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia).

6. The minimum charge for standard-sized items in Zone 1 is £0.65 per item, and the minimum charge for standard-sized items in Zone 2 is £0.80 per item. For items weighing more than 1 kg, the charge for items in Zone 1 is £2.50 + £1.50 (for each additional 1,000 grams), and the charge for items in Zone 2 is £10.50 + £0.25 (for each additional 1,000 grams).

7. The minimum charge for large items in Zone 1 is £2.75 per item, and the minimum charge for large items in Zone 2 is £3.5 per item. For items weighing more than 1 kg, the charge for each item in Zone 1 is £8.50 + £1.00 (for each additional 1,000 grams), and the charge for each item in Zone 2 is £10.50 + £0.25 (for each additional 1,000 grams).

It is relatively simple to check Amazon's abandonment fees. If you want to open a store on Amazon, you must understand these fees. Cross-border e-commerce is special because if the goods cannot be sold, removal fees and abandonment fees will be incurred.
