Amazon Hits Third-Party Sellers With Fuel And Inflation Surcharge

The price increases will most likely be passed onto consumers as smaller retailers struggle to stay afloat. FedEx and UPS have also announced fuel surcharges.

  1. With Domestic Carrier Transport companies, they all charge Fuel Surcharges from 10% to over 80% for TL Freight movements, there is no wonder they have added it, i am just surprised that it is expressed in a Fuel Surcharge %, once that is implemented NO COMPANIES, take away Fuel Surcharges, once implemented, never removed……..I personally know companies that are mainly alive in Canada and making TONS of profit for the last five years charging Fuel Surcharges, now the couriers are on board and will not stop at more profit……..

  2. Never ordered Amazon and never will. Stop supporting these globalist pigs

  3. Amazon raises shipping price on 3rd party sellers to cover Amazon’s own shipping cost. Basically Amazon keep products they sell price low from over charging 3rd party seller more, therefore transferring cost to other and increases Amazon profit.

  4. Time for eBay to make a move

  5. Time to start shopping in person again. Not feeding the richest man in the world more money

  6. Yeah shipping is free. But processing and handling costs 25 dollars so if you buy one item it's still 25 for P&H come on.

  7. It's quality service.. I don't mind paying it.

  8. they got a taste of the power during the pandemic and now they are off and running.

  9. F bezos he and his x have enough to fix mars this is a none reason put your head straights my fellow Americans we are getting screwed. Not a blue or red problem they are playing to much.

  10. I don't know who needs to hear this!Stop relying on the government and savings. Invest some of your money if you want financial stability, having several income streams is not a bad idea

  11. Amazon has become a mess, with the new return hassles, numerous fake reviews, poor quality products, inaccurate descriptions, ongoing junk mail from sellers, etc. We dumped prime and quit buying from them. It’s better to go directly to the sellers.

  12. Worst job performance numbers for a president on the economy since that poll first began in 1978.. Congratulations Joe!

  13. Joeflation strikes again!!!

  14. Biden is a piece of crap. America is going under more and more because of him and he keeps sending arms aid to Ukraine $$$$$$$

  15. Putin stopped your oil production, he is pushing sexualizing your kids with crazy gender non conformity. Putin is destroying the Dollar by printing more and more of it into being fake. Putin is all of the problems that we created.

  16. To all Amazon customers go back to Walmart they'll drop the surcharge then😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

  17. 17 comments stated and I see 3. It was Putin.

  18. I'm going to hit my employer with a fuel and inflation surcharge.

  19. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
