FBA Storage Fee
Monthly charge for inventory taking up space in Amazon's warehouses.
Also known as: FBAStorageFee, Monthly Inventory Storage Fee
What it is
Charged monthly based on the average daily volume (cubic feet) your inventory occupies in Amazon's fulfillment centers. Rates jump significantly during the Q4 holiday peak (Oct–Dec). This fee is a single ServiceFee line on your settlement, not per-unit, and is usually charged on the 7th–15th of the following month.

Tips

- If your settlement spans a month boundary, the storage fee may not appear in the period you expect.
- Aged inventory (>180 days) also incurs the separate Long-Term Storage Fee.
