Amazon UK Multi-Channel Fulfilment Fees, 2022 to 2024

In brief: Amazon MCF fees in the UK were revised three times in under two years. Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) lets you use FBA stock to fulfil orders from your own website, eBay or other channels. Its UK fees were revised three times in under two years. From 12 November 2022, single-unit fees rose (with a fuel and inflation surcharge built in) and multi-unit discounts arrived, averaging 25.2% savings. On 7 April 2023, parcel and oversize tiers went up while envelope tiers fell slightly or held. From 16 May 2024, UK MCF fees rose by 5.6% on average, plus six new small-parcel bands covering 150 g–3.9 kg and an extra-large envelope band.

UK MCF fees: the three revisions

Effective	What changed
12 November 2022	Single-unit fees up across size bands, surcharge included; multi-unit discounts launched (25.2% average saving)
7 April 2023	Envelope tiers slightly down or unchanged; parcel and oversize tiers up
16 May 2024	Average rise of 5.6%; standard-speed envelopes under 460 g unchanged; six new small-parcel bands and one extra-large envelope band

Amazon published the detailed rate cards separately in Seller Central.

A worked example

A seller ships 1,500 website orders a month through MCF at an average of £5.00 each — £7,500. A 5.6% average rise adds about £420 a month (7,500 × 0.056), though the real effect depends on the size and speed mix. Orders with several units can cost less per unit thanks to the multi-unit discount.

What it means for your bookkeeping

• MCF fees belong to your other channels. They're a cost of your website or marketplace sales, not your Amazon sales. Tracking them separately shows the true margin on each channel.
• They arrive in your Amazon settlement. MCF fees are deducted from Amazon payouts, even though the related sales money reaches you elsewhere.
• Check the new bands. The 2024 small-parcel bands mean products can move tier; compare a few orders before and after 16 May 2024.
• VAT on the fee. Fees billed from 1 August 2024 carry UK VAT; earlier ones used the reverse charge — see VAT on Amazon fees.

How TrueBooks helps

TrueBooks posts each fee type from your Amazon settlements to its own line in Xero with the right UK VAT for its date, so MCF costs are visible rather than buried in FBA fees. See the Amazon Xero integration.
