What does Amazon's warehouse entry deadline mean? What are the warehouse entry procedures?

Nowadays, more and more merchants are opening stores right away. After opening a store on Amazon, merchants need to understand the relevant rules. For example, there are regulations on the deadline for warehousing. So what is going on? The following is an introduction.

What does Amazon’s warehouse cut-off time mean?

Except for Canada and India, which have suspended Prime Day due to the surge in the epidemic, all major sites are in the process of preparing for the Prime Day. Because overseas logistics and delivery are still affected by the epidemic, it is recommended that you prepare inventory for the big promotion festival as early as possible, and do not rush to warehouse it to meet the deadline. If there is a mistake, there may be nothing to sell on this Prime Day.

However, one thing to note is that Amazon has previously announced that it will adjust the Amazon logistics product warehousing restriction policy for sites in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.

The platform stated that the limit on the number of goods entering the warehouse by ASIN has been changed to limiting the number of goods entering the warehouse by storage type. Seller accounts will no longer have ASIN-level restrictions on the number of goods entering the warehouse. Instead, the number of goods entering the warehouse will be restricted according to different storage types, allowing for more flexible management of goods sent to Amazon's operations centers.

Limiting the number of goods entering the warehouse by storage type is to set the quantity limit for goods shipment/replenishment according to the seller's past sales and predicted sales and different storage types (standard size, large goods, clothing, shoes and boots).

This shows that Amazon sellers will face dual restrictions when replenishing their stocks. The first is the inventory capacity limit caused by the IPI score not meeting the standard, and the second is the total inventory quantity limit of the store.

Therefore, when preparing goods, sellers should also pay attention to their inventory capacity limits and try to choose advantageous products to prepare goods, which can improve turnover rate. If sales increase, new goods can be shipped.

What are the warehousing procedures?
