Fee Structure summary - [1]. Seems transparent and reasonable.

General info - [2]

Example

Storage

  • 12x12x6" kit as with USPS box. 1/2 cubic foot. January-September - $0.48/ per cubic foot - October-December - $1.20/ per cubic foot
  • Kit - Storage cost is $3.96 per year for 1/2 cubic foot.
  • Fully assembled - could be a 2x2x2 foot box - $63.36 annual fees.
  • Forget about large printer (17" bed) unless we can pack it in about 2x2x2, which could be doable.

Shipping

  • Kit or - $8.26 + $0.38/lb above first 2 lb. Small Kit - under 20 lb - $15.10
  • Compare to flat rate USPS 12x12x6 = $20 up to 70 lb
  • Full - 45 lb - $24.60

Selling

  • It was good so far - but the above includes only fulfillment- not Selling on Amazon fees - which is about 12%. To sell on the Amazon marketplace, you pay Referral Fees and Closing Fees.
  • So an $800 sales price gets us $100 cut for posting on Amazon.
