Refresh your FBA product costs before setting a seasonal offer, using the current account-level fee preview.
THE SOURCED NEWS
What starts on 15 October?
Amazon’s official peak-season announcement sets 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027 as the festive fee window for selected FBA orders in the UK and Germany. UK coverage includes specified parcel and larger-envelope categories; the announcement also lists exclusions.
The post is an earlier announcement, with no exact publication day exposed on the public page. We are highlighting its effective date. Check Amazon’s linked rate schedule and your own fee preview for the charge applying to each item. The detailed help page did not render in this check.
SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS
SellerBundle: start with your three busiest products
Choose three products you expect to sell through FBA this season. Record the selling price, product cost, current fulfilment estimate, inbound cost allocation, packaging, advertising and a realistic returns allowance. Use the same cost treatment throughout so the comparison is useful.
Then test the offer you actually intend to run. A percentage discount changes the money left from each order; a higher sales total alone will not show whether the offer pays for itself. Our product calculator can organise your inputs, but it does not supply Amazon’s current fees.
SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS
Keep the fulfilment methods separate
Keep separate worksheets for FBA and orders you dispatch yourself. A charge described for selected FBA services should not be copied across every marketplace order. Record the market and fulfilment route beside the estimate, and date the rate you used.
Revisit the calculation when your size tier, route or selling price changes. Before committing to a promotion, check the final fee preview in Seller Central and keep the relevant report with your seasonal pricing notes.
