Hello Sellers / Amazon Team,
Amazon announced that for products priced below ₹300 using Easy Ship, there will be a total ₹15 fee reduction, which includes:
₹10 reduction in weight handling (shipping) fees
₹5 reduction in closing fees.
I would like clarification with an example.
For instance, if a product has:
Selling price: ₹225
Easy Ship shipping fee (under 500 g): ₹77
Closing fee: ₹8
Will the new fees be calculated as:
Shipping fee: ₹77 – ₹10 = ₹67
Closing fee: ₹8 – ₹5 = ₹3
So the total reduction becomes ₹15 per order.
Can Amazon confirm if this interpretation is correct?
Thank you.

Your Easy Ship system also needs a re-look.
Advanced stage which I am dealing with: Order is not picked. But the system shows its picked. Amazon claims that the system is correct!
