Amazon FBA Storage Limits to Be Retired: What Sellers Need to Know

Amazon has announced that it will be retiring FBA storage limits on September 30, 2023. This means that sellers will be able to store unlimited inventory in Amazon FBA warehouses. However, sellers will still be charged storage fees for inventory that is not selling.

This is a major change for Amazon sellers, and it is important to understand what it means for your business. Here are some of the key things to know:

• Sellers will be able to store unlimited inventory in Amazon FBA warehouses. This means that you will no longer have to worry about hitting storage limits. You can send as much inventory to Amazon as you want, and they will store it for you.
• Sellers will still be charged storage fees for inventory that is not selling. Amazon charges storage fees based on the size and weight of your inventory, as well as the length of time it has been in storage. These fees can add up quickly, so it is important to manage your inventory carefully.
• Sellers should closely monitor their inventory levels. With the retirement of storage limits, it is more important than ever to make sure that you are not overstocking your inventory. You should regularly check your inventory levels and adjust them as needed.
• Sellers should use Amazon's inventory management tools. Amazon offers a variety of inventory management tools that can help you track your inventory levels and avoid overstocking. These tools can also help you identify slow-moving inventory so that you can take action to sell it or remove it from Amazon.

​The retirement of FBA storage limits is a significant change for Amazon sellers. However, by understanding the key implications of this change, you can ensure that it does not have a negative impact on your business.

Tips for Sellers to Manage Inventory Under the New Storage Rules

Here are some additional tips for Amazon sellers to manage their inventory under the new FBA storage limits:

• Set up automatic reorders. This will ensure that you always have enough inventory to meet demand, without overstocking.
• Use Amazon's Buy Box Price Optimization tool. This tool can help you set the right price for your products, which can lead to increased sales and lower storage fees.
• Run clearance sales or promotions. This can help you move slow-moving inventory and free up space in your Amazon FBA warehouses.
• Consider using a third-party inventory management system. These systems can help you track your inventory levels and manage your orders more efficiently.

​By following these tips, you can ensure that you are prepared for the retirement of FBA storage limits and that you can continue to grow your Amazon business.
