In short, if your product isn\u2019t selling, you\u2019ll be bleeding money.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n For items stored for over a year,<\/strong> Amazon charges the seller<\/a> a fee of $6.90 per cubic foot<\/strong> of storage used, or $0.15<\/strong> per product (whichever is greater). This fee is deducted every month. This can quickly add up.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if a product isn\u2019t flying off the shelves, it might be worthwhile to get rid of the unused inventory. How do you do that? It\u2019s actually quite simple. All you need to do is create a removal order on Amazon. We\u2019ll walk you through everything you need to do to remove inventory from Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quick Guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re recalling or disposing of your inventory from fulfillment centers, it\u2019s a good idea to remove the related <\/strong>product listing. You have two options:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can follow these steps to close or delete your listings:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to relist an item that has been closed or removed, you can follow these steps: \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the listing was deleted over 24 hours ago, you cannot relist the product. The listing has to be manually added again.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have closed or deleted the relevant product listings, you can move on to removing your inventory from Amazon fulfillment centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n Returning or disposing of your products from Amazon FBA centers isn\u2019t free. If the item is not selling,<\/a> it might still be worthwhile to avoid long-term storage fees. You can request for disposal, return, or liquidation of your inventory<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Why would you want to remove inventory from Amazon FBA centers?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if a product is not subject to long-term storage fees, it still costs you money if it\u2019s at an Amazon warehouse. If your product sales can\u2019t cover these costs, it\u2019s advisable to take down the listing and remove the product from FBA centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how you can do it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Create a removal order<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two ways to create a removal order.<\/a> You can do this from the \u201cManage Inventory\u201d<\/strong> page or from the \u201cRecommended Removal\u201d <\/strong>report. The recommended removal report only includes inventory that will be subject to long-term storage fees. Through the Manage Inventory page, you can remove the inventory for any listing. Here\u2019s how you can remove inventory using either method:\u00a0On the \u201cManage Inventory\u201d <\/strong>page, select the relevant items. Select the \u201cAction\u201d<\/strong> drop-down list and pick the \u201cCreate Removal Order.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have begun the removal process, you have three choices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n A product under a removal order cannot be used to fulfill customer orders. It cannot be shipped to any other fulfillment center either.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Add address and order ID<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Specify ordered SKUs\/units<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to add more items to this list, you can search for the product using its title, ASIN,<\/a> FNSKU<\/a>, or MSKU. Add the relevant details into the \u201cSearch and Add Items<\/strong>\u201d box and hit Search. Choose the products to be removed, and click the \u201cAdd Selected\u201d <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Add quantities to be removed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you need to mention the number of fulfillable and unfulfillable items to be removed. This quantity cannot be greater than the total quantity available for removal. Once you\u2019ve done that, you need to review the total inventory \u2014 both available and unavailable<\/a> for removal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Review removal order<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After you\u2019ve added all the necessary details, you need to review your removal order. Check the order ID, method of removal, ship-to address, and the details of the selected items for removal. If you need to change contact details or return address, you just need to select the \u201cChange<\/strong>\u201d option. You can also see how much the order will cost you under the \u201cEstimated Fees<\/strong>\u201d option.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Click confirm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After review, you have the option to confirm the removal order or cancel it. Usually, the order is processed within 10 to 14 days<\/strong> after you confirm your order. However, it can take up to 30 business days, especially during the peak removal times, and the holiday season.<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the removal order has been submitted, the carrier may try to contact you to organize a specific delivery time. If you are unavailable or cannot accept the delivery, Amazon assumes that the ship-to-address is incorrect. If this happens, the items will be considered as \u2018abandoned.\u2019 The products can then be disposed of without any reimbursements<\/a> or further notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wondering how you can make the most out of the holiday season?
