1.VINE Program:
Amazon Vine is a buyer review program that allows Amazon sales partners to provide their products to Amazon reviewers invited by Amazon to join the Amazon Vine program. These commentators are able to provide insightful comments on the products they purchase on Amazon Mall.
Originally, Amazon Vine would charge a fee of $200 for each newly registered product, but from June 5th to July 21st, it launched a “limited to 2 items free” trial offer! Each parent ASIN can register for the Amazon Vine program for 2 products for free. That is, from June 5th to July 21st, participating in the program, the seller will give the product to customers for free, invite them to experience the product, and then leave their comments. If there are more than two items that are “exempted”, a fee will be charged.
2.Reporting requirements:
1). Register a brand on Amazon;
2). All variant reviews on the product page add up to less than 30, and variant comments are shared;
3). Listed before registration. The product should also have available inventory, as well as product images and descriptions;
4). It is a brand new FBA product, and small and light products can also be reported.
Delivery fees during the holiday sales peak season of Amazon Logistics in 2023
From October 15, 2023 to January 14, 2024, Amazon will charge the annual holiday sales peak season delivery fee for Amazon Logistics. This seasonal fee is similar to the fees charged by other major carriers, reflecting the increase in delivery and transportation operating costs during the busy holiday shopping season.
The holiday sales peak season delivery fees for Amazon Logistics in the United States and Canada are the same as in 2022. Although it includes delivery fees during the holiday sales peak season, Amazon’s average delivery fee is still 30% lower than the standard delivery methods of other major third-party logistics providers, and the delivery speed is also faster.
The holiday sales peak season delivery fee applies to Amazon Logistics products in the United States, Amazon Logistics products in Canada, Amazon Logistics remote delivery products, and multi-channel delivery products, except for Amazon Logistics products in the United States priced below $10.
Amazon Logistics: View inventory marked for automatic removal
As the holiday season approaches, in order to make more space for our products in our operations center, starting from September 15, 2023, we may remove some of your over age inventory unless you choose to exit automatic removal.
Overage inventory refers to goods that have been stored in Amazon’s operations center for more than 365 days. Automatically removing aged inventory can help you save additional fees generated by aged inventory and improve your inventory performance indicator score.
To return your aged inventory to you, please go to the available inventory automatic settings and select ‘Return’ to provide a valid return address. If a valid return address is not provided, your inventory will be automatically collected, donated, or removed.
To exit automatic removal, select ‘Disable’.
Please note that once created, automatic removal cannot be cancelled as they will be considered removed as required.
