How to calculate the FBN Outbound Fee and Inventory Removal Fees in EGY
Managing fees associated with shipping and inventory removal is essential for sellers utilizing noon’s Fulfilled by Noon (FBN) service. This guide explains the FBN Outbound Fee and Inventory Removal Fee.
1. The FBN Outbound Fee
The FBN Outbound Fee is charged per item
shipped to a customer and is based on the product’s dimensions and shipping
weight.
Note: This fee is non-refundable, even if the order is returned.
Steps to Determine the FBN Outbound Fee
- Classify the Packaging
- Select the appropriate classification tier (small, standard, large, oversize, etc.) for your product based on its dimensions using the Classification Table.
- Calculate the Shipping Weight
- Use this formula:Shipping Weight = Physical Weight + Packaging Weight
- Round the result to the nearest 50 grams.
- Check Shipping Weight Limits
- Ensure the shipping weight does not exceed the maximum limit for your selected classification. If it does, the product will be moved to the next classification tier.
- Determine the FBN Outbound Fee
- Use the classification and shipping weight to find the applicable fee in the FBN Outbound Fee Table.

FBN Outbound Fee Calculation Example:
- Product Dimensions: 17.4 x 8.81 x 2.8 cm
- Physical Weight: 0.32 kg
- Classification: Large Envelope
- Packaging Weight: 0.04 kg
- Shipping Weight= Unit Weight + Packaging Weight
0.32
+ 0.04 = 0.36 kg (rounded to 0.4 kg)
- Fee: Large Envelope = 12.0 EGP
2. Inventory Removal Fee
The Inventory Removal Fee is applied to items shipped back to you upon request. The fee is based on either the volumetric weight or physical weight, whichever is higher.
Inventory Removal Fee Guidelines
- Delivery Requests: Use the product’s weight (physical or volumetric) to calculate the fee.
- Collection Requests: Use the product’s volume (in cubic feet) to determine the processing fee.
Delivery request:
1. Start by calculating the item's volumetric weight using
the following formula:
Volumetric weight (in kg) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x
Height (cm) / 5000
2. Next, identify your product's physical weight in kg.
3. Choose the highest weight (either the volumetric weight
or the physical weight). After that, refer to the fees in the below table to
multiply the highest weight by the Same-city or the Cross-city Fee, whichever
is applicable depending on your shipment transfer mode. Then add the Handling
Fee to the total.
Inventory Removal Fee Table (Delivery)
Inventory Removal Fee Calculation Example-Delivery:
- Product Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm
- Physical Weight: 20.6 kg
- Volumetric
Weight:
25.2×119.9×46.625.2 × 119.9 × 46.625.2 ÷ 5000 = 28.16 kg
We'll use the volumetric weight (28.16 kg) because it's higher than the physical weight (20.6 kg).
- Fee: Use volumetric weight (higher than physical).
- We'll determine the Inventory Removal fee by multiplying the volumetric weight by the Handling Fee and the Same-city delivery Fee.
- Inventory Removal Fee = (28.16 × 5.0) + 2.0 = 142.8 EGP
Collection request
1. Start by calculating the item's volume in cubic feet
using the following formula
Cubic feet (CBF)= Length (cm)* Width (cm)* Height (cm)/28317
2. Next refer to the processing fee in the below table. Multiply the processing fee to the cubic feet value of the item.
3. Lastly add the handling fee as mentioned in the table to get the Inventory Removal fees.

Inventory Removal Fee Calculation Example- Collection:
Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm
Cubic feet volume = 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 / 28,317 = 4.972 CBF
We'll determine the Inventory Removal fee by multiplying the cubic feet (CBF) by the Processing fees and adding the Handling Fee
Inventory Removal Fee = (4.972 x 2.0) + 2.0= 11.94 EGP
Since this is lower than the minimum fee per request, 100 EGP fee will be applicable.
That’s it!
