Citing high fuel costs, online retail giant Amazon on April 2 announced it would levy a 3.5 percent fuel and logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees in the United States and Canada, beginning May 2.

Amazon said it has absorbed rising transportation-related cost increases, but will now pass on a temporary surcharge to fulfillment fees across its Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) service, as well as to its Remote Fulfillment with FBA deliveries from the United States into Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.
