Low Inventory Fees

One piece of news that won’t make sellers too happy, however, is that they will be charged a low inventory fee if their inventory is too low.

As the name suggests, if your product inventory stays below the 4-week sales level for a long period of time, then you will be charged a low inventory fee by Amazon. This is because Amazon believes that too low an inventory level will affect the speed of delivery of the item on Amazon FBA and increase the cost of delivery.

However, as long as the seller’s inventory can sustain more than 4 weeks of sales, then this fee can be waived.

In addition, there are two other situations where the fee can be waived:

  • For new stores (Pro Accounts), the fee can be waived within 365 days of the first batch of inventory being received;.
  • For new parent ASINs, the fee is also waived for 180 days after the first batch of inventory is received.

It is recommended here that some sellers and friends of ASINs with poor sales should get rid of their low inventory as soon as possible. However, the implementation of this policy will allow more sellers to consider the combination of self-shipment mode for combination marketing.

 

 

FBA downward adjustment of delivery costs

At the same time, Amazon FBA logistics delivery fees will also be reduced and take effect on April 15, 2024 (U.S. time).

  • Standard size items will be reduced by an average of $0.20 per item; non-standard size items will be reduced by an average of $0.61 per item.
  • Items priced under $10 will continue to receive an additional $0.77 per item discount on delivery costs.

Although the overall reduction is not very large, but for most of the small and medium-sized sellers is also a little surprise.
