Amazon Shipping rolls out higher Peak Season fees for 2025 holidays
Amazon Shipping will add peak season surcharges from Oct. 26 through Jan. 17, 2026, the company recently announced.
The fees are highest between Nov. 23 and Dec. 27 and include a per-package demand surcharge along with charges for parcels that are large, heavy, or require extra handling. Compared to last year, the surcharges are higher, though Amazon did not list a volume-based surcharge like it had in 2024.
For the 2025 season, demand surcharges will be $0.40 per package before Thanksgiving, rise to $0.60 through the end of December, and return to $0.40 in January. Extra handling charges climb as high as $10.80, large packages will carry a $107 fee, and extra-heavy packages will face surcharges of up to $540.
