This page puts Amazon's 2026 UK fulfilment fees into tables you can scan in a few seconds. Every figure comes from Amazon's own FBA Rate Card, effective 1 July 2026 (the UK column), which we downloaded from Amazon's UK pricing page on 18 October 2026. Our free FBA calculator uses the same numbers. Referral fees are a separate charge: see Amazon UK referral fees by category.
How to find your size tier
- Measure the packed item and sort its sides from longest to shortest. The size tier is the smallest one whose maximum length, width and height all fit, and whose unit-weight limit fits too.
- Work out the shipping weight. Envelopes and Low-Price FBA use the item's actual (unit) weight. Parcels and oversize items use whichever is greater: the unit weight or the dimensional weight, which is length × width × height in cm ÷ 5,000.
- Find the weight band. Use the first band at or above the shipping weight. That's the fulfilment fee.
- Add the 1.5% fuel and logistics surcharge. Amazon has applied it to UK fulfilment fees since 17 April 2026. It works out at 3–5p on a typical parcel.
Envelope and parcel fees (standard FBA, 2026)
Small parcels allow up to 3.9 kg unit weight; standard parcels allow up to 11.9 kg. These are the non-peak rates, which apply all year apart from 15 October to 14 January (see peak fees).

Oversize fees (2026)
Oversize tiers charge a base fee up to a set weight, then an amount for each extra kilogram of shipping weight. The dimensional-weight caps are 25.82 kg for small oversize, 72.72 kg for standard oversize light and heavy, 86.40 kg for standard oversize large, and 126 kg for bulky and heavy oversize.
| Size tier | Max size (cm) | Unit weight | Base fee | Each extra kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small oversize | 61 × 46 × 46 | Up to 1.76 kg | £3.49 up to 760 g | +£0.25 |
| Standard oversize light | 101 × 60 × 60 | Up to 15 kg | £4.35 up to 760 g | +£0.15 |
| Standard oversize heavy | 101 × 60 × 60 | 15–23 kg | £6.58 up to 15.76 kg | +£0.08 |
| Standard oversize large | 120 × 60 × 60 | Up to 23 kg | £5.67 up to 760 g | +£0.07 |
| Bulky oversize | Over 120 × 60 × 60 | Up to 23 kg | £10.20 up to 760 g | +£0.24 |
| Heavy oversize | Any | 23–31.5 kg | £13.04 up to 31.5 kg | +£0.09 |
| Special oversize | Longest side over 175, or girth over 360 | Or over 31.5 kg | £16.22 up to 30 kg; £17.24 to 40 kg; £34.38 to 50 kg; £42.04 to 60 kg | +£0.35 over 60 kg |
One quirk worth knowing: Amazon's card isn't consistent about small oversize. The main fee table says +£0.25 per kg above 760 g, but the peak-season table on page 6 gives +£0.22 for the same non-peak period. We use £0.25. If you sell oversize items, preview the exact ASIN in Seller Central.
Low-Price FBA fees (2026)
Low-Price FBA, the scheme that replaced Small and Light, cuts the fulfilment fee for cheap, light items. Since 5 January 2026 it covers products priced £20 or under, or £10 or under in Beauty, Health & Personal Care; Business, Industrial & Scientific Supplies; Office Products; Grocery & Gourmet; Books; Amazon Device Accessories; and Kitchen. It uses the unit weight only, with no dimensional weight, and stops at 400 g for small parcels. More detail is in our Low-Price FBA guide.
| Size tier | Unit weight up to | Low-Price fee | Standard fee | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light envelope | 20 g | £1.46 | £1.83 | −£0.37 |
| 40 g | £1.50 | £1.87 | −£0.37 | |
| 60 g | £1.52 | £1.89 | −£0.37 | |
| 80 g | £1.67 | £2.07 | −£0.40 | |
| 100 g | £1.70 | £2.08 | −£0.38 | |
| Standard envelope | 210 g | £1.73 | £2.10 | −£0.37 |
| 460 g | £1.87 | £2.16 | −£0.29 | |
| Large envelope | 960 g | £2.42 | £2.72 | −£0.30 |
| Extra-large envelope | 960 g | £2.65 | £2.94 | −£0.29 |
| Small parcel | 150 g | £2.67 | £2.91 | −£0.24 |
| 400 g | £2.70 | £3.00 | −£0.30 |
Peak fees, 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027
Amazon's festive peak rates apply to standard FBA (excluding apparel) from 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027. Light and standard envelopes and all oversize tiers stay at their normal rates. These tiers go up:
| Size tier | Shipping weight up to | Normal fee | Peak fee | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Large envelope | 960 g | £2.72 | £2.79 | +£0.07 |
| Extra-large envelope | 960 g | £2.94 | £3.01 | +£0.07 |
| Small parcel | 150 g | £2.91 | £3.02 | +£0.11 |
| 400 g | £3.00 | £3.11 | +£0.11 | |
| 900 g | £3.04 | £3.15 | +£0.11 | |
| 1.4 kg | £3.05 | £3.16 | +£0.11 | |
| 1.9 kg | £3.25 | £3.37 | +£0.12 | |
| 3.9 kg | £3.27 | £3.39 | +£0.12 | |
| Standard parcel | 150 g | £2.94 | £3.05 | +£0.11 |
| 400 g | £3.01 | £3.12 | +£0.11 | |
| 900 g | £3.06 | £3.18 | +£0.12 | |
| 1.4 kg | £3.26 | £3.38 | +£0.12 | |
| 1.9 kg | £3.48 | £3.61 | +£0.13 | |
| 2.9 kg | £3.49 | £3.62 | +£0.13 | |
| 3.9 kg | £3.54 | £3.67 | +£0.13 | |
| 5.9 kg | £3.56 | £3.69 | +£0.13 | |
| 8.9 kg | £3.57 | £3.70 | +£0.13 | |
| 11.9 kg | £3.58 | £3.71 | +£0.13 |
On 15 January 2027 the fees go back to the normal 2026 rates. Peak season also overlaps with higher October–December storage fees, so slow Q4 stock costs more twice over. The Q4 sourcing guide covers how to time it.
Worked example: one boxed item, three fees
Take a boxed item that measures 20 × 15 × 8 cm, weighs 350 g and sells for £14.99:
- Size tier: its sides fit within 35 × 25 × 12 cm, so it's a small parcel.
- Standard FBA: the dimensional weight is 20 × 15 × 8 ÷ 5,000 = 0.48 kg. That's more than the 350 g unit weight, so the shipping weight is 480 g, which falls in the 900 g band. The fee is £3.04 + £0.05 fuel = £3.09.
- Low-Price FBA: at £14.99 it's under the £20 limit in most categories. Low-Price uses the 350 g unit weight, which falls in the 400 g band: £2.70 + £0.04 fuel = £2.74, or 35p less per unit.
- Peak season, standard FBA: between 15 October and 14 January the 900 g small-parcel rate is £3.15 before the fuel surcharge, 11p more.
A box that's 2 cm taller or a slightly heavier item can move a product into the next band or tier. That's why it's worth measuring the packed item, not guessing from the shelf.
What the rate card leaves out
- Referral fees: the percentage Amazon takes from every sale, which usually costs more than fulfilment. See referral fees by category.
- Storage: monthly per-cubic-foot fees, higher from October to December, plus aged-inventory surcharges. See Amazon FBA storage fees.
- Lithium batteries: Amazon adds £0.10 per unit for items that contain or come with lithium batteries.
- Category tables: Clothing & Accessories, footwear, bags and some other categories use separate parcel tables in the same rate card.
- VAT on fees: Amazon's fees are quoted before VAT. If you aren't VAT registered, you pay 20% on top and can't reclaim it. See VAT for Amazon sellers.

FAQ
What is the Amazon FBA rate card?
It's Amazon's published table of FBA fulfilment fees by size tier and shipping weight, with Low-Price FBA and peak-season rates. The current UK card took effect on 1 July 2026. Amazon publishes it as a PDF on its UK pricing page.
How much is the FBA fee for a small parcel in the UK?
In 2026 it's £2.91 to £3.27 per unit before the 1.5% fuel surcharge, depending on shipping weight (150 g up to 3.9 kg). Small parcels can be up to 35 × 25 × 12 cm. Between 15 October 2026 and 14 January 2027 the peak rate is £3.02 to £3.39.
Does the 1.5% fuel surcharge apply to every FBA order?
Amazon has applied a 1.5% fuel and logistics surcharge to FBA fulfilment fees in the UK since 17 April 2026. It's 1.5% of the fulfilment fee, not of the sale price, so it adds about 3 to 5p to a typical parcel.
When are Amazon's peak fulfilment fees in 2026?
From 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027. Large and extra-large envelopes go up by 7p and small and standard parcels by 11 to 13p per unit. Light and standard envelopes and oversize items don't change. Normal rates return on 15 January 2027.
