Frequently Asked Questions
Peak season runs from October through December. During this time, storage fees significantly increase (often tripling) to account for high warehouse demand during the holidays.
Fees are based on the daily average volume (in cubic feet) your inventory occupies in fulfillment centers. The rate varies by product size tier and the time of year.
To avoid aged inventory surcharges, monitor your Inventory Age report and use 'Outlet' sales, removal orders, or liquidation for items sitting for more than 180 days.
