More than ever before, sellers must make smart inventory management a top priority if they hope to be successful on Amazon.
We want to be your partner toward that success by helping you with inventory management.
If you’re launching a brand new product, you have no idea what your sales velocity will be. Until you do, you should store most of your product somewhere other than Amazon. That way your inventory isn’t aging while you’re working on your launch. You’d be surprised how quickly six or twelve months can get away from you. Especially if you’re a brand new seller.
If your new product turns out to be a dud, you’ll be on the hook for Amazon’s long-term storage fees or you’ll have to pay Amazon removal fees to get your inventory back out of their warehouses.
We want to help you avoid that mess.
The new name of the game on Amazon is to keep your Inventory Performance Index as high as possible so your storage limits aren’t restricted.
The best way to do that is to store most of your inventory with us, and have us send just enough inventory to Amazon to cover 30 to 60 days of projected sales.
Storage Fees
Monthly Inventory Storage Fees*
Effective Jan 1, 2024 | Storage Fee |
Short-Term Storage | $0.88 per cubic foot (Monthly Billing Minimum of $10.00 per month) All arriving inventory incurs a storage fee regardless of its outbound date. |
Long-Term Storage | $1.50 per cubic foot – applies to Amazon Removals and inventory that has remained in storage over one year (Monthly Billing Minimum of $10.00 per month) |
We aim to keep things simple. You pay the same flat rate no matter what time of year it is and you can leave your product stored with us for as long as you need (long-term storage fees apply to inventory that is categorized as Amazon Removals or has remained with us over one year).
(Inventory received between the 1st and 15th of the month incur a full month’s charge. Inventory received between the 16th and last day of the month incur a prorated half-month’s charge. Every subsequent month of storage is billed on the first of the month.)
*Volume is based upon how much space is required to store products in their shipping cartons. This number will not match Amazon’s volume calculation since Amazon stores units in mixed product bins for fulfillment purposes. Therefore, their volume is based upon product package dimensions.
