Amazon FBA vs Easy Ship India: A Real Cost Comparison for Indian Sellers (2025)

The Amazon India seller community debates this constantly: FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) or Easy Ship? Most advice you will find online is either outdated or written without actual India-specific fee data.

Here is the honest comparison — using 2025 rates, with real examples across product weight tiers.

What Is Easy Ship?

With Easy Ship, you store inventory at your own location (home, warehouse, or a third-party warehouse). When an order arrives, Amazon’s logistics partner picks it up from you and delivers to the customer.

• You manage storage and packing
• Amazon handles last-mile delivery
• You pay a per-shipment Easy Ship fee based on weight and zone

What Is FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon)?

With FBA, you ship your inventory in bulk to Amazon’s fulfilment centre. Amazon stores it, packs it, and ships it to customers. You pay a per-unit fulfilment fee + monthly storage fee.

The Fee Comparison: 2025 Rates

For a 250g Product (e.g., face serum, small electronics accessory)

For a 1 kg Product (e.g., kitchenware, herbal supplement bulk pack)

When FBA Wins

• You sell 150+ units/month nationally (FBA’s fulfilment cost spread over volume becomes competitive)
• You have limited space for storage or cannot pack orders reliably
• Your product qualifies for Prime badge — FBA listings get higher conversion rates (typically 15–25% higher CTR)
• Your product is small/light (under 500g) — FBA fee advantage is clearest here

When Easy Ship Wins

• You sell under 80 units/month — FBA’s fixed overheads (inbound shipping, storage) hurt at low volumes
• You are selling in a mostly local zone (same city/state)
• Your product is heavy or bulky (over 1 kg) — Easy Ship is often cheaper for heavy items
• Your product is seasonal — FBA long-term storage fees penalise slow-moving stock heavily

The Hybrid Strategy That Works

Many successful Indian sellers use both: Easy Ship for local/regional orders (cheaper, faster) and FBA for national/metro orders where Prime badge matters. Amazon allows this via regional FBA settings.
