How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think.

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of the series sellers podcast by Helium 10.

I'm our host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Helium 10 weekly buzz, where you give you a rundown of all the news stories that are going on in the Amazon, Walmart, and e-commerce world. We highlight the latest new feature alerts from Helium 10, and we review a training tip of the week that will give you serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. Now, today our host is going to be Kerry Miller, so Kerry, take it

away and let us know what's buzzing. All right, let's go ahead and get into the first article,

which is about Amazon fees that are starting in 2025. So there's some more fees that have come out.

And there are some increases and there are some discounts in fees. So let's go ahead and go over what is what was posted in Seller Central. Now in this first section here, they actually talk a lot about all the things that they've done to improve all these different services over the last year. And so you've got all that information. But then if you scroll further down,

it gets into the nitty gritty details, which is what I wanted to share with you today. And so the first

thing that they talk about is AWD, which is Amazon warehouse distribution, which they seem to want

to incentivize sellers to use AWD. And so here is the update. A new AWD smart storage option will

provide a 10% discount on your

AWD storage fees if you maintain sufficient levels of inventory. This discount brings fees down to as low as

43 cents per cubic foot per month. And Amazon will also separate the AWD processing fee into

inbound and outbound processing fees rather than the current approach, which is charging both together. So these changes are effective April 1st of 2025. And for details, you can actually go. And there's a

link there. And so this should be in your seller central. There's a link to more of details about the fees.

All right. So the next one is MCD, which is multi-channel distribution. Okay. So MCD outbound

transportation fees will move from a fixed

fee to a distance-based fee. And this will lower fees for shorter distances and increase them for longer

ones. So inventory replenished into Amazon though will not be affected by this change and will continue

to be charged the fixed transportation fee that they were before and it will not be distant space.

So these changes are going to be effective April 1st of 2025.
