Inventory storage fees
Storage fees are based on the daily average volume (measured in cubic feet) for the space your inventory occupies in fulfillment centers. The volume measurement is based on unit size when properly packaged and ready to ship in accordance with FBA policies and requirements.
Monthly inventory storage fee
Monthly inventory storage fees typically are charged between the 7th and 15th day of the month following the month for which the fee applies. For example, to see your inventory storage fee for January, refer to the February Payments report for transactions from February 7-15.
Fees vary by the product-size tier and the time of year. Although standard-size products are smaller than oversize products, they require more complex and costly shelving, drawers, and bins for storage. Fees are charged by cubic foot, so overall storage fees for standard-size products may be less than those for oversize products, based on volume.
| Month | Standard-size | Oversize |
|---|---|---|
| January - September | $0.75 per cubic foot | $0.48 per cubic foot |
| October - December | $2.40 per cubic foot | $1.20 per cubic foot |
Monthly inventory storage fees for dangerous goods
Items that can be sold only through the FBA Dangerous Goods program require special handling and hazardous materials (hazmat) storage. The table below shows the new monthly inventory storage fees for dangerous goods sold through that program. You can use the look up an ASIN tool to check the classification status of your ASIN and whether you need to be in the FBA Dangerous Goods program to sell it.
For more information, see the Dangerous Goods identification guide.
| Month | Standard-size | Oversize |
|---|---|---|
| January - September | $0.99 per cubic foot | $0.78 per cubic foot |
| October - December | $3.63 per cubic foot | $2.43 per cubic foot |
Long-term inventory storage fee
A long-term storage fee applies to units that have been stored in an Amazon fulfillment center for more than 365 days.
The long-term storage fee is in addition to the monthly inventory storage fee. If you submit a removal order for items before the next inventory cleanup date, those items won’t be subject to long-term storage fees.
For more information, see FBA long-term storage fees.
Calculating cubic feet from inches
- Multiply length x width x height in inches to get the volume.
-
Divide the volume by 12 cubic inches (12 x 12 x 12 inches =
1,728).
Example: A unit measuring 47 x 12 x 10 inches divided by 1,728 = 3.3 cubic feet.
