Don’t be stuck with out-of-stock offers during key selling periods this holiday. Download and use our 2014 FBA holiday calendar to help guide your decisions on when to send shipments to Amazon fulfillment centers so that your products are available to customers during critical sales periods, including last-minute shopping days.

Make Room for Fast-Turning Inventory This Holiday


This holiday selling season, keep your fast-moving, giftable FBA inventory in stock but remove items that are either unfulfillable or unlikely to pique a holiday shopper’s interest.

Here are a few ways you can improve your inventory health for the holidays:

Removal Orders: If you want to do a one-time clearing of stagnant inventory, submit a Removal Order for disposal or return of the units. To submit a removal order, follow the steps in our How to create Removal Orders Help page.

Automated Unfulfillable Removals: All FBA sellers doing business on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca have access to Automated Unfulfillable Removals, which enables you to automatically remove any inventory that has been deemed unfulfillable at the fulfillment center on a set schedule that works for your business. You can enable and edit settings for these Automated Unfulfillable Removals (sign-in required) in your Settings > Fulfillment by Amazon menu in Seller Central.

Inventory Health Report: The FBA Inventory Health report (sign-in required) is a great way to get a high-level view of your inventory inside Amazon fulfillment centers. With this report, you can better understand your total sellable and unsellable quantities, as well as your slow-moving and aged inventory.

Grooming Your Listings for the Holidays: 3 Videos Show You How


Getting sellable inventory into fulfillment centers is just one aspect of selling successfully on Amazon—you need strong product listings that showcase your products, generate customer impressions, and close the sale. Whether you’re using FBA or not for your products, ensuring the visibility and quality of your listings is essential to growing your Amazon business.

We have three videos that show you last-minute holiday tips (sign-in required) for putting your best foot forward with your Amazon product listings.

Did You Know? Sell Liquids Up to 5 Gallons through FBA


Previously, products in non-glass containers holding more than 50 ounces of liquid could not be received at and stored in Amazon fulfillment centers. You can now send liquid products to Amazon’s U.S. and Canadian fulfillment centers containing up to 5 gallons in volume.

All liquids still need to be prepared in accordance with our requirements for Products Containing Liquids.

Seller Central Improvements: Try the New Manage Inventory Page


We’ve consolidated inventory management tasks onto a single page in Seller Central for added convenience and efficiency. Now, you can perform all key inventory tasks from a new and improved Manage Inventory page.

With the introduction of this newly improved Manage Inventory page, we will be retiring the Manage FBA Inventory page next year so that we can focus our efforts on maintaining and continually improving the new Manage Inventory page for our sellers.

This new Manage Inventory page features a cleaner design, including images of each ASIN and easier navigation. If you haven’t experienced the Manage Inventory page already, click the “Try it now” button at the top of your Manage Inventory page in Seller Central (Inventory > Manage Inventory). Once you’ve tried the new Manage Inventory, please leave us feedback so we can continue to make improvements.
