How To Avoid Business Disruption Due To The New FBA Capacity Changes?

Posted: March 07

From March 1st, Amazon has removed the weekly restocking and quarterly storage volume limits.

 

They are replaced with a single monthly capacity limit.

 

But how to avoid business disruption due to the new FBA Capacity changes?

 

Here are 2 steps that Amazon Strategic Account Services (SAS) managers recommend:

 

Review your capacity limits through Capacity Monitor in your FBA dashboard.

 

Your limits depend on several factors.

 

  • Inventory Performance Index (IPI),

  • Sales forecasts for your ASINs,

  • Shipment lead time and

  • Fulfillment center capacity

 

Regular checking on this data will help you and your Customer success manager to make necessary adjustments.

 

Maintain a healthy inventory level.

 

Overage fees help prevent excessive inventory levels. They are calculated based on the highest estimated or confirmed limit Amazon provides for a particular period.

 

You will see them apply if your on-hand inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment centers exceeds your capacity limit. Open shipments are not included in the calculations.

 

The image below shows a NO limit result usually happening for new FBA Sellers (< 9 months). Limits will be updated once they start having sales.
