What’s Changed with FBA Capacity Limits for June-July 2025?
Amazon has announced the tightened FBA capacity limits for the upcoming months, creating new challenges for sellers who rely on FBA for order fulfillment.
- Capacity limits: 5 months of sales volume for June and July (down from 6 months in May).
- Performance-driven restrictions: Your IPI score, sales velocity, and inventory mix impact your capacity limits.
- Prime Day planning: Tightened capacity creates challenges for building inventory for Prime Day.
- No Overage Fees: Exceeding limits blocks shipments, but overage fees have been eliminated.
How to Maximize Your FBA Capacity
- Audit Inventory Performance: Remove slow-moving products and transition them to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) for bulk storage.
- Clear Excess Inventory: Quickly move underperforming products to free up space for best-sellers.
- Submit Capacity Increase Requests Early: Submit requests for increased capacity well ahead of June 9 and June 18 deadlines.
- Optimize FBA Replenishment: Use Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) for automatic replenishment to prevent stockouts and keep your products Prime-eligible.
- Adjust Shipment Cadence: Consider more frequent, smaller replenishment cycles to ensure a steady inventory flow.
Maximize your FBA strategy with proactive steps like capacity management, inventory forecasting, and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) integration to ensure you stay competitive and ready for Prime Day 2025.
