Amazon partner carrier rates for FBA inbound shipments
Rates for inbound FBA shipmetns have trippled overnight for me. It seems that my Amazon parter carrier rates are no longer at a discount. Any else seeing this issue since yesterday?

It's happening to everyone. This is the 3rd thread I've seen on the topic.

Hello @Seller_9xm9hNyoh1ejQ and @Seller_3f7LqZTENrgrQ
Thank you for that heads-up about partnered-carrier rate changes.
Are the rate increases you are seeing for one specific carrier, or are they across the board for all available carriers above expected rates?

Yes, me too. I don't know if I can take much more.

Hello @Seller_9xm9hNyoh1ejQ @Seller_3f7LqZTENrgrQ @Seller_YREevnz045NoZ and all other sellers asking about UPS rates:
Have any of you filed a support case requesting information about the rates, and if so, did you include screenshots showing the higher rates?

same here. it looks like the $0 placement option (5 or more identical boxes) has the higher shipping rates. perhaps a glitch or perhaps a way of charging placement fees in a roundabout way. I'm sending two batches today... The first was 5 (identical) 20lb boxes of a large number of light items (1380 total units) where the first two options with placement fees had approximately $55-$60 total shipping, the no placement fee option had $195 total shipping. Since the placement fees were so high due to the quantity of items I paid the seemingly overpriced zero placement fee shipping. The second shipment was 8 (identical) 39lb boxes of heavier items (312 total units) where again the shipping cost for the two options with placement fees were a fraction of the zero placement fee option. With this one it was cheaper to pay the placement fees.
If this is on purpose and by design, where was the announcement of the shipping fee changes (I easily could have overlooked it)? If this is a glitch, will we be reimbursed in some way for the overcharges? I'm sure they will not reimburse placement fees that were paid due to the other shipping charges being jacked up...

UPS rates tripled for inbound FBA shipments. Though it looks like we can get the rates back to normal if we split the shipments just right. Which makes me think it is a glitch. The rates are higher than using our own UPS account.

Back to regular rates for me just now...

Hello from Selling Partner Services.
Thank you for reporting these increased UPS rates for FBA partnered carrier shipments.
I reached out to our partner team to request further information. It would be helpful if any sellers experiencing this can file a support case with details including a workflow ID, as that will make it easier to investigate.
In addition, I see some sellers have mentioned that they only see such rates for shipments with $0 inbound placement fee. If any sellers also experience that, it would be helpful.

Looks like this is fixed now, but will I be reimbursed for the overcharging of inbound shipments that occurred this morning?
