Inbound placement fees in Canada?
As you may know there have been lots of backlash regarding the inbound placement fees in USA where amazon charges a per unit fee of i.e 0.10 cents if the entire fba shipment is being shipped to one FC only. This wasnt implemented in Canada - any thoughts? Do you guys think they will eventually implement it here as well? From my knowledge, I think only the USA has had this fee. UK and Europe also did not get it.

There's not enough warehouses here in Canada unlike the USA where there are hundreds.
Already, there's a few on each coast, and they are separated by size of item mainly.
I don't think Amazon's inbound system is smart enough to figure out how to prepack items by sizes per box in Canada.
Our FBA fees are already higher due to the vast distance between warehouse transfers from Ontario to Alberta in this country.
