How to calculate the FBN Outbound Fee and Inventory Removal Fees in EGY

How to calculate the FBN Outbound Fee and Inventory Removal Fees in EGY

1. The FBN Outbound Fee

The FBN Outbound Fee is charged per item, and it's based on a combination of the dimensions and shipping weight of the product. 

Note:
The FBN Outbound Fee is charged upon shipping the order to the customer, and
is not refunded if the order is returned.

Follow the below listed guidelines to determine the FBN Outbound Fee for each of your items:

1. First, start by selecting the classification (small, standard, large, or oversize) of the packaging that will hold your product based on your product dimensions using the Classification Tier table.

2. Next, calculate your product’s shipping weight by using the below formula, then round it to the nearest 50g:

Shipping weight =  the product’s physical weight + the packaging weight of a particular classification

3. Ensure that the shipping weight of the product isn’t above the maximum shipping weight of the classification associated with your product dimensions. If the shipping weight is higher, then the next classification tier will apply.

4. Finally, select the FBN Outbound Fee that will apply to your product based on the packaging classification, and the weight slab that’s equivalent to your shipping weight.

FBN Outbound Fee Calculation Example:

Dimensions: 17.4 x 8.81 x 2.8 cm

Unit Physical Weight: 0.32 kg

Based on the dimensions, this is a large envelope which has 0.04 kg of packaging weight. The corresponding shipping weight is:

Shipping Weight = Unit Weight + Packaging Weight = (0.32+0.04) kg = 0.36 kg (approximately 0.4 kg)

Therefore, this is under the 1 kg maximum shipping weight for large envelopes. 

There is only one weight slab for large envelopes:

2. Inventory Removal Fee

A fee that applies to each unit that is shipped back to you at your request. The inventory removal fee is based on the volumetric weight of the product, or its physical weight, whichever is higher.
Follow the below listed guidelines to determine the Inventory Removal fee for each item you request for removal from a noon fulfillment center depending the retrieval method.

- 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 Calculation Example:

Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm

Unit Physical Weight: 20.6 kg

The volumetric weight = 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 / 5000 = 28.16 kg

We'll use the volumetric weight (28.16 kg) because it's higher than the physical weight (20.6 kg).

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 x 5) + 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:


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 Proccessing 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.
