Most items cost less than $10 for FBA to ship. FBA fees for a 13 pound item is just under $10. There's no way you're getting $10 in savings unless you're doing massive volume and shipping really massive items (like 50LB) or with large dimensional weights
- tgtweak 8y agoIt says $13.81 FBA cost. https://i1.wp.com/fbaexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/amazon_fba_calculator2.png?resize=344%2C558&ssl=1 https://i1.wp.com/fbaexperiment.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/... You can easily ship a light purse in domestic USA for $5 if you have a business shipping account with a carrier. Making $8 with FBA per sale vs $16 by shipping yourself when you already have boxes is pretty simple.
- ikeboy 8y agoIf it's $13.91 cost as in the screenshot, then it's not light. My guess is they have the wrong dimensions there and that's why the fee is showing so high - they don't include enough information to tell. But something that's $13.91 FBA is not going to be shipped for $5.
- bootlooped 8y agoYeah I think it's wrong too. There's no way a single purse costs almost $14 in FBA fees. This 4 piece purse set is only $7.01 in fulfillment fees: https://amazon.com/dp/B07DS52Z28 https://amazon.com/dp/B07DS52Z28
