BREAKING: Amazon Cut Off AWD for Any Unit Above 18 x 14 x 8 Inches or 20 lbs
The new Amazon AWD size limits are now live: any unit above 18 inches long, 14 inches wide, 8 inches high, or 20 pounds is no longer eligible for AWD. These Amazon AWD product requirements apply to AWD only, not FBA. Existing Amazon AWD oversize inventory already sitting in AWD is grandfathered and can keep auto replenishing into FBA until depleted, but it still accrues storage fees and new shipments are blocked at creation. FBMFulfillment can replace that lost buffer with domestic storage, prep, and our exclusive FBA Replenishment Module feeding FBA and every other channel from one pool.
