Understanding Amazon FBA and Its Impact
While this calculator tackles a significant portion of your cost analysis, it's important to consider Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon). Here's how FBA can affect your costs:
- Storage Fees: Amazon charges storage fees based on product size and storage time.
- Pick and Pack Fees: There are per-item fees for picking, packing, and shipping your products when you use FBA.
Impact on Your Business
FBA can simplify logistics and potentially improve your customer satisfaction by offering faster fulfillment times. However, these benefits come at a cost. Carefully evaluate your business needs and weigh the convenience of FBA against the additional fees before deciding.
