Amazon Raises FBA Monthly Storage Fees

Effective April 2026, standard-size, non-peak FBA storage rates rose from $0.87 to $0.92 per cubic foot - a modest per-unit increase that adds up quickly for sellers carrying slow-moving inventory.

What's changing

The five-cent-per-cubic-foot increase looks small in isolation, but it compounds directly with sell-through rate: slow-moving inventory that was marginally worth storing may no longer pencil out at the new rate. It continues a multi-year trend of FBA storage costs rising faster than fulfillment fees, pushing sellers toward tighter inventory management.

Who's affected: FBA sellers, especially those carrying slower-moving or seasonal inventory that sits in storage for extended periods.

What to do about it

  • Recalculate storage cost against sell-through rate for your slowest-moving SKUs at the new rate.
  • Consider a removal order or liquidation for inventory that no longer clears a reasonable margin.
  • Revisit reorder quantities to avoid re-accumulating the same slow-moving stock going forward.
