Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment Pricing 2026: Plans, Pros & Cons

Overview

Multichannel Fulfillment (MCF) lets sellers use Amazon’s fulfillment network to pick, pack and ship orders placed outside Amazon, including direct-to-consumer websites, other marketplaces and social platforms. Sellers send inventory to Amazon’s fulfillment centers, and the same stock can serve Amazon and non-Amazon orders. Orders ship in unbranded packaging by default. Standard delivery takes three business days and expedited two; Amazon states MCF serves 11 countries.^[6]

Amazon publishes an MCF rate card and calculator, and updated US MCF fees take effect on 15 January 2027; eligible sellers can save up to 15% on MCF fees and earn up to $1 of FBA credit per MCF unit.^[6] For FBA itself, fees cover picking, packing, shipping, customer service and returns and vary by price, weight and dimensions, with monthly storage charged by cubic foot and aged-inventory surcharges after 181 days.^[7] MCF’s limitations are Amazon’s standard inbound requirements and the dependence on a single network, and brands that want custom packaging must look at other providers.
