Amazon is raising the cost of storing inventory at Amazon FBA warehouses, beginning with an increase in monthly storage fees on April 1, 2018

Changes taking place April 1, 2018:

Monthly inventory storage fees will be increased by $0.05 per cubic foot. The increases will be applied to April’s inventory, and reflected in May.

Changes taking place August 15, 2018:

A minimum of $0.50 per unit per month will be charged for items in FBA warehouses for 365 days or more. This minimum long-term storage fee or the regular long-term storage fee will be charged, whichever is greater.

Changes taking place September 15, 2018:

Long-term storage fees will be adjusted, and will be assessed on a monthly basis instead of a semi-annual basis. 

Storage limits still apply to inventory kept in Amazon fulfillment centers. Storage limits of Amazon sellers with a professional seller account will be determined by their Inventory Performance Index

How can I adjust my business?

If you have unsold inventory, review your pricing and repricing strategies. Consider running promotions on items, like a "buy one, get one free" promotion to sell off extra inventory and generate positive reviews from customers.  You can also always request a removal from Amazon if necessary. 

Familiarize yourself with the tools Amazon provides to effectively maintain inventory: Amazon recommends what products need to be re-stocked, and when and how to sell excessive inventory without affecting your ROI (return on investment).
