Amazon Stores Your Products

Amazon receives, measures and stores your products in our secure, climate-controlled warehouses. Seller Central will notify you when your inventory arrives and is available for purchase online.

When inventory arrives at our warehouse, we will check it in and confirm its size. If you have created an offer listing on Amazon it will automatically appear on the Amazon.com website as available for sale. Amazon stows inventory in the warehouse either in bulk or in individual 'pickable' locations.

Media products are stored on library-type shelving in vertical, spine out positions with loose stacking to avoid 'shelf' wear. Specialty items like food or high value goods may be placed in specific secure or climate controlled areas of the warehouse as appropriate.

Each night, Amazon adds up the total volume of a seller's stored inventory. Sellers then pay for the average amount of storage they have during the month- this means you only pay storage for what is in our warehouse while it is there.
