Amazon Shipping will implement peak season surcharges from October 26, 2025, to January 17, 2026, with the highest fees occurring between November 23 and December 27. These surcharges include per-package demand fees and additional charges for large or heavy packages, with costs increasing compared to 2024. Similar to other carriers like FedEx and UPS, Amazon’s surcharges aim to cover operational expenses during high demand. The company is also raising fulfillment charges for third-party sellers, while attracting more shippers to its network due to competitive rates and faster delivery times.
