Updates to support US FBA peak inventory shipments
We understand many of you are experiencing longer receive times that are affecting your shipments. High demand has led to longer receive times at some of our West Coast inbound locations and for palletized freight. We are actively taking steps to resolve the situation including rerouting shipments to other regions to increase capacity.
Additionally, effective immediately we are making the following adjustments to inbound requirements:
- Extended automatic closure window to 90 days for shipments created after August 7, through October 31, 2024. We recommend that you cancel shipments that you do not intend to send during this time, as it will impact your capacity limit utilization.
- Extended abandoned shipments window from 30 days to 45 days from first receive for shipments created between August 7 and October 31, 2024.
To track your shipment's progress, go to Shipping Queue.
We know how important it is for your inventory to be ready for peak season. We’re continuing to monitor the situation and are working hard to ensure your inventory is placed before your deals start.
For more information on these changes and recommendations, go toFBA peak readiness playbook.

Please explain how is this helping the sellers shipments?
Every year Amazon says they are experiencing longer receive times due to high demand or holiday season.
This is not true because it takes 2-3 months ALL year to receive our units.

Can someone please explain to me why sellers make shipping plans for inventory they don't plan to immediately send to Amazon? I always create shipping plans for inventory that is ready to send out. On hand ready to go. What is the strategy of doing it otherwise?

Holiday shopping has already started. My grandmother would be done by now. Amazon is extending buyer's refund times for orders in just a week because they are deemed Christmas orders.

Amazon is in the news for planning on firing 14,000 managers after the turn of the year. Get that dead weight out from behind their desks and have them move product 24x7.

It's good that slower than usual receiving has been acknowledged . Now kindly admit that this is mainly due to splitting of shipments , sending 3-5 shipments instead of one has made seller and amazon inefficient . When goods were delivered to one fc nearest to seller warehouse things were much better ..
I hope that corrective steps would be taken .

Allow us to send inventory earlier without the peak season storage increase. That is the issue here. No one wants to send in the inventory early with it sitting around for 45 days before its sold paying 4 times the storage fee. So everyone tries to wait until the last minute to send inventory.
How about October is normal storage month.

As usual Amazon has chose some very poor wording which just causes more confusion. In this case it looks like they actually made a grammatical error leading to confusion. Is it ONLY palletized freight that is having longer receive times on the West Coast or are small parcel shipments also having longer receive times?? The following sentence is not proper english and I am wondering if the word 'and' is not supposed to be there: "High demand has led to longer receive times at some of our West Coast inbound locations and for palletized freight."
