No. Storage can be used for Amazon replenishment, FBM order fulfillment, and multi-channel fulfillment.
It works for any seller who needs a U.S. warehouse to hold inventory before shipping.
Inventory storage provides a secure place to hold your products before they are shipped to Amazon fulfillment centers or used for direct order fulfillment (FBM). Instead of sending all inventory to Amazon at once, sellers can store goods in a U.S. warehouse and release stock in controlled batches.
This approach helps manage cash flow, avoid overstocking at Amazon, and reduce the risk of long-term storage fees. It also supports sellers who source from multiple suppliers and need a single place to consolidate and organize inventory before fulfillment.
Products are received, counted, and stored under your account. Inventory can be held short-term for inbound planning or longer-term as reserve stock. When you are ready, items can be picked for FBM orders or prepared for Amazon inbound shipments (including labeling, poly bagging, bundling, and palletizing if required).
Inventory storage is most useful for sellers who ship regularly to Amazon, run seasonal promotions, or manage multiple SKUs with varying demand. It provides operational flexibility: you can keep reserve stock available without committing all units to Amazon warehouses.
Storage also supports multi-channel operations. Inventory can be allocated across Amazon FBA replenishment and direct shipments to customers, retail partners, or other marketplaces.
