Amazon calculates the monthly storage fees depending on the required number of cubic metres that the products take up in its own warehouse. In addition to the product size, the time of year is also decisive for the amount of the storage costs, as Amazon generally charges higher fees during the high sales months of October, November and December due to the high demand for storage facilities.

Amazon's storage fees cover numerous cost aspects, from the cost of storage space to the payment of logistics staff. In addition, there are shipping, return and disposal costs associated with the storage of FBA sellers' products.

The best way to minimise storage costs is to regulate stock levels in line with demand. While too little stock jeopardises sales, too much stock in the storage centre causes unnecessary storage costs. Experience has shown that there should always be enough goods in the warehouse to last for the next two months. It is also best to pay attention to last year's data and the data of competitor products.
