Hi everyone...As we previously announced, starting on October 5th sellers who list in the Books, Movies & DVDs, Music and Video Games categories will need to ensure that their first domestic shipping option is within the new maximum shipping charges. Learn more about the maximum shipping charges by visiting our Maximum Shipping and Handling table.
Update for Magazines
In response to USPS changes to their Bound Printed Matter (BPM) service, we are increasing the maximum shipping charge allowed for magazines from the previously announced $4 dollars to $5 dollars.
As a reminder, maximum shipping charge limits will be enforced for the first flat-rate shipping option to the U.S.. If an item's actual shipping cost is higher than the allowed maximum charge, we recommend that sellers include the extra shipping cost in the item price. Alternatively, if you're listing a non-standard, larger item that can't be shipped within the maximum limits, you may use the shipping calculator.
Sincerely,
Kristina Klausen
Senior Director, Shipping
