Amazon will be adjusting the aged inventory surcharge and adding more tiers. Amazon will be applying charges to aged inventory almost 3 months earlier than the previous year. As Amazon increases fees, it’s time for sellers to take stock of ASIN profitability and product pricing. For many sellers, Amazon’s complex and ever-evolving rules can be stressful. Hinge offers support to these sellers with its inventory management tools.

Amazon announced yesterday that if you plan to run deals during Prime Week, you must submit them by April 28th, 2023 for Amazon US or May 12th, 2023 for Amazon CA.

Amazon announced on January 17th a change in the way FBA Storage limits will be structured. Amazon is transitioning from a unit-based limit to a cubic ft.-based strategy starting March 1, 2023.
