Amazon Managed Service

Amazon Managed Service is a fully managed, end-to-end supply chain solution that coordinates logistics to unlock faster delivery speeds and higher sales conversion while reducing complexity. Simply provide your product details and pickup locations and we’ll oversee the rest, including carrier pickup, inventory consolidation, strategic replenishment, and placement into fulfillment centers that are nearest to customers.

Amazon Managed Service uses Amazon managed transportation (Amazon Global Logistics, Amazon Partnered Carrier program, or Amazon Global Selling SEND) to ship your products, and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD), our low-cost bulk storage solution with pay-as-you-go pricing, to store them before they move into our fulfillment network. With Amazon Managed Service, we’ll automatically replenish your products from AWD to our fulfillment centers based on demand signals to help you maintain the right FBA inventory levels. There are no fees to enroll in AWD, and you’ll be charged only when you send inventory to AWD facilities.

AWD is available for a variety of FBA products. When you book shipments for Amazon Managed Service, we’ll validate that the ASINs you’re attempting to send are eligible for AWD. To learn more, go to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution product eligibility.

To use Amazon Managed Service, select the Amazon managed shipping option when you create a shipment to AWD. There are two workflows that help you create a shipment to AWD:

• The Send to AWD workflow filters to only AWD-eligible SKUs. In Seller Central, go to the Inventory drop-down menu and select Warehousing and distribution (AWD).
• The Send to Amazon workflow is a streamlined option that you can use to create shipments to AWD or our fulfillment centers. In step 1 of the workflow, if you create a shipment containing only AWD-eligible inventory, you’ll have an option to send the shipment to AWD when you advance to step 2.

When you’re ready to create your Send to AWD shipment, you can choose your preferred shipping option. Select Amazon managed and you’ll be assigned Amazon transportation (through the Amazon Partnered Carrier program for domestic shipments or Amazon Global Logistics or Amazon Global Selling SEND for cross-border shipments). This helps you qualify for AWD-integrated rates. To learn more, go to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution fees.

The first Amazon Managed Service fee charge will be reflected in your April 2025 charge for storage and transportation that are used in March 2025.

Effective April 1, 2025, in addition to using Amazon managed transportation to send your inventory and AWD for storage, your SKU must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for Amazon Managed Service rates:

• Automatic replenishment ratio: At least 70% of your SKU's inventory must be sent to fulfillment centers through AWD automatic replenishment in the preceding 90 days.
• Combined historical days of supply: Your SKU's inventory level across AWD and FBA must be equal to or greater than 70 days relative to historical demand. To determine this, we calculate the average daily inventory across AWD and FBA divided by the average shipped units from FBA. We evaluate this metric over two periods: the last 30 days (short-term) and the last 90 days (long-term). The period with the higher value is the one used.
