Amazon Easy Ship fees
The Amazon Easy Ship fee is a flat fee per consignment, based on the weight and size of the consignment. A consignment is the package that you send out per Amazon Easy Ship order. For example, if you receive an order for two hats to be shipped to one customer, the consignment is the single package that you prepare containing the two hats.
The Amazon Easy Ship fee is calculated based on the greater of the consignment’s volumetric weight or actual weight.
Note: Volumetric weight (g) is calculated as (Length * Breadth * Height in cm)/5.
We recommend that you use the following table to determine the fee which will apply according to the consignment’s weight (including packaging):
