In plain English
In the UK, Amazon's peak season fulfilment fee runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027, at an average of 12p per unit for standard parcels. Storage costs also nearly double from October to December. Separately, Amazon has announced its 2027 US fees: fulfilment goes up by about 19 cents per unit on average from 15 January 2027.
