This week on the Ecommerce Braintrust podcast I’m joined by Acadia Retail Operations Manager Tamara Vukovic to discuss the update to fees we saw earlier this year on Amazon. In previous episodes we’ve discussed each of the fees, what they mean for brands and what to expect with their rollout. This week, Tamra and I dig into how they’ve played out for brands. We discuss the way Amazon’s fee update practices have always followed a bit of a ‘carrot and stick’ approach and this latest round is showing some clear carrots for brands who have strong, optimized operational practices. Case in point? The introduction of new sizing tiers for products. The implementation of granular size tiers and the adjustments in FBA fulfillment fees are designed to help sellers optimize their shipping and handling costs, ultimately benefiting those with efficient inventory and shipping practices. Tamara is an operational whiz on Amazon and has clear perspective on how the dust has settled with the 2024 fee updates.
