Shipping costs
Shipping fees vary based on the fulfillment method you choose. With Amazon Global Selling, you can either choose Merchant Fulfilled Network (MFN) and ship products yourself directly to customers or use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA).
In case of MFN, you independently pick, pack, ship, and deliver products. The shipping cost depends on the third-party logistics provider you choose.
If you opt for FBA, Amazon handles all fulfillment logistics. The shipping fee per unit includes picking and packing your orders, shipping and handling, customer service, and product returns. Fees are based on weights and dimensions of your product. FBA fees will depend on your choice of storage, destination, shipping, and other variables.

Amazon Ads
