How WFS fees are calculated

Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) charges a per-unit fulfillment fee based on shipping weight, plus surcharges for some items, plus monthly storage for the space your inventory takes up. There are no setup or monthly subscription fees. Here's how each piece works.

1. Work out the shipping weight

Example: a 1.8 lb item in a 10 × 8 × 4 in box has a dimensional weight of 2.3 lb. Add 0.25 lb and round up, and the shipping weight is 3 lb.

2. Look up the fulfillment fee

Shipping weightWFS fulfillment fee per unit
1 lb or less$3.45
2 lb$4.95
3 lb$5.45
4–20 lb$5.75 + $0.40 per lb over 4 lb
21–30 lb$15.55 + $0.40 per lb over 21 lb
31–50 lb$14.55 + $0.40 per lb over 31 lb
51 lb and up$17.55 + $0.40 per lb over 51 lb

Items of 31 lb and up ship by ground and may take more than two days to arrive.

3. Add surcharges

SurchargePer unit
Selling price under $10+$1.00
Apparel+$0.50
Hazardous materials (chemicals, aerosols, pesticides, batteries)+$0.50
Oversize 1: longest side over 48 in, median side over 30 in, or length + girth over 105 in+$3.00
Oversize 2: longest side over 96 in or length + girth over 130 in+$20.00 (weight billed from 90 lb)

Girth is 2 × (width + height). Items over 150 lb, longer than 108 in, or over 165 in in length + girth are big & bulky: $155 plus $0.80 per lb over 90 lb, with no other surcharges.

4. Add monthly storage

Storage periodPer cubic foot per month
January–September$0.75
October–December, stored 30 days or less$0.75
October–December, stored more than 30 days$2.25
Stored 366–450 days$2.25
Stored more than 450 days$7.50

Cubic feet = length × width × height (inches) ÷ 1,728. Send only what you can sell through in a month or two, especially from October to December, when storage triples for slow sellers.

WFS fees are only part of the cost

WFS fees don't include Walmart's referral fee, which is charged on every sale and is 15% in most categories. To see whether an item is worth buying, put the referral fee, WFS fees and your cost together in the Walmart profit calculator, or see the full WFS fee guide. Deciding between WFS and Amazon?

Questions

How do I calculate WFS fees?

Find the shipping weight (the greater of unit weight or dimensional weight, plus 0.25 lb for packaging, rounded up to the next pound), look up the fulfillment fee for that weight, then add any surcharges: $1 if the price is under $10, $0.50 for apparel, $0.50 for hazmat, and $3 or $20 for oversize items. Storage is billed monthly per cubic foot.

How much is the WFS fee for a 1 lb item?

An item with a shipping weight of 1 lb or less costs $3.45 to fulfill with WFS, before surcharges. Remember that 0.25 lb of packaging is added and the total is rounded up, so a 0.9 lb item ships at 2 lb and costs $4.95.

What is dimensional weight for WFS?

Dimensional weight is length x width x height in inches divided by 139. For items that weigh 1 lb or more, WFS charges on whichever is greater, the unit weight or the dimensional weight. Light but bulky items often cost more than their weight suggests.

How much does WFS storage cost?

WFS storage is $0.75 per cubic foot per month from January to September. From October to December, inventory stored more than 30 days costs $2.25 per cubic foot. Inventory stored 366 to 450 days costs $2.25, and over 450 days costs $7.50 per cubic foot per month.

Does Walmart have a WFS cost estimator?

Yes. Walmart offers a WFS cost estimator in Seller Center and on its WFS pricing page. It covers fulfillment and storage but not referral fees, returns or your profit. This calculator follows the same published rates and shows the steps.

Does the WFS fee include the Walmart referral fee?

No. WFS fees cover fulfillment and storage only. Walmart also charges a referral fee on every sale, usually 15% of the sale price depending on category. Use the Walmart profit calculator to see referral fees, WFS fees and profit together.
