Fee adjustments for partnered carrier shipment measurements

Selling on Amazon Amazon Announcements

To improve the accuracy of weight and dimension inputs for domestic US Amazon Partnered Carrier shipments, notifications in Seller Central inform you when carriers find differences between the measurements that you enter and your shipment’s actual measurements.

If the measured weight, dimensions, or freight class (when applicable) of your small parcel or less-than-truckload shipment differs from what you provided at shipment creation, you see a notification in the Inbound Performance dashboard.

Starting on June 12, 2025, these measurement differences will result in a fee adjustment including a credit to your account if your provided measurements were too high or a charge if they were too low.

You can view your measurement differences by following these steps:

  1. Go to the Inbound Performance dashboard.
  2. Select Inaccurate transportation weight/dims under Defect group.
  3. Click View details to see the specific measurement difference.

For more information, go to Amazon Partnered Carrier program FAQ.

At least they plan to start telling us about it. That’s something, I guess.

we discussed this a while ago…just don’t know how this will be implemented - UPs doesn’t measure for SPD shipments (at least mine doesn’t) - they all appear as 0 lbs because who wants to weight every single box that comes in on a cart?

LTL freight carriers aren’t weighing our pallets (or are they at their freight depots? No clue?)

So who is Amazon targeting?

No clue.

They don’t weight/measure every shipment but they do if they think something is off. You can request the records of their measures/weights if you ask for delivery confirmations. Some shipments will have them, others will not. They do this at cross docks as your shipments moves from facility to facility to make sure their trucks aren’t overweight.

Who are they targeting? Sellers who claim their shipment is 1,000 pounds when it’s actually 1,500 pounds.
