FBA monthly inventory storage fee

Storage fees are charged for all units stored in an Amazon fulfilment centre based on calendar month and your daily average volume (measured in cubic feet). The cubic feet of any unit will be based on the unit's size as properly packaged and ready for dispatch to customers in accordance with the FBA Program Policies. Amazon will be entitled to make its own measurement of the cubic feet or weight of any packaged unit or representative sample thereof and in the event of any conflict between such measurement and information provided by the seller, Amazon's measurement will govern

Inventory Storage fees are charged on a monthly basis and are typically charged sometime between the 7th and 15th day of the month following the month the fee applies to. For example, if you want to see the Inventory Storage fee you paid for January, refer to the February settlement report that includes the transactions from 7-15 February.
Cost per cubic foot per month
3 SAR
Calculating cubic feet from centimeters
Multiply length x width x height in centimeters to get the volume.
Divide the volume by 28,316.84 cubic centimeters (30.48 cm x 30.48 cm x 30.48 cm = 28,316.84), which is the equivalent of 1 cubic foot.
Example: A unit measuring 47 cm x 12 cm x 10 cm divided by 28,316.84 = 0.199 cu. ft.
Additional inventory storage fees apply to products classified as dangerous goods, and for units that have been stored in an Amazon fulfillment center for more than 365 days (long-term storage fees).
