Amazon Adding Fuel and Inflation Surcharge for First Time in History of the Company
The cost of fuel and inflation is causing issues for more than just the average American.
Amazon announced it will charge sellers a 5% fuel and inflation surcharge, as CNN reported.
“In 2022, we expected a return to normalcy as Covid-19 restrictions around the world eased, but fuel and inflation have presented further challenges,” Amazon wrote in a memo obtained by CNN.
The company added, “It is unclear if these inflationary costs will go up or down, or for how long they will persist.”
The outlet noted the fee will begin on April 28.
Amazon spokesman Patrick Graham told CNN the “fee surcharge applies only to fee rates paid by sellers that choose to use Amazon’s fulfillment services, which include storing, packing and shipping products.”- READ MORE
