Stranded inventory required removals
The Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement requires that you remove all "unsuitable units" from Amazon fulfillment centers. If your inventory remains stranded, you will receive an email notification from Amazon.
Important: Inventory that remains stranded will be returned or disposed of 30 days after this notification. If you have designated Amazon to accelerate automatic removal of
stranded units they may be removed more quickly. To customize your automatic removal settings go to Fix stranded inventory and click Edit automatic-action settings.
Stranded inventory units with active offers will not be automatically removed. For guidance on fixing stranded inventory, refer to Resolve stranded inventory issues.
The following stranded reasons are not subject to required removals at this time:
- Future listing sell date
- Under hazmat review
Note: On Fix stranded inventory, the Date of stranded event column tells you when the inventory was stranded. The Automatic removal date column states when listings are scheduled for removal.
Delaying automatic removal
If you require more time to fix stranded inventory for select listings, you may select Delay removal 30 days on Fix stranded inventory for each listing to provide an additional 30 days before automatic removal.
