The temporary charge is effective April 17 for many of the sellers who use Amazon's fulfillment services, the online behemoth confirmed to The Associated Press in an email Thursday.

It noted the charge is "meaningfully" lower than surcharges applied by other major carriers. "We remain committed to our selling partners' success and to maintaining broad selection and low prices for customers," Amazon added. Amazon's fuel and logistics-related surcharge will apply
