Amazon FBA Inventory Limits: How Restock Limits Work in 2024

Amazon FBA inventory limits control how much inventory you can send to Amazon fulfillment centers. Amazon applies two types of limits: restock limits (how much of any given product you can send per week, per ASIN) and storage volume limits (total cubic feet your account can hold across all inventory). How restock limits are set: Amazon bases them primarily on your sales velocity and IPI score. Fast-selling products get higher restock limits. High IPI scores (above 450) generally come with fewer restrictions. Products with slow sell-through get lower limits as Amazon tries to prevent warehouse accumulation. How to increase limits: increase your sales velocity by running advertising and promotions; improve your IPI by removing stranded inventory and reducing aged inventory; use the Inventory Performance Dashboard to identify specific actions Amazon recommends. Working within limits: use a third-party prep center or 3PL to hold overflow stock and trickle inventory into FBA as limits allow; create FBM listings as backup for when FBA inventory runs low; submit limit increase requests through Seller Central when you have a promotion or seasonal push planned. Seasonal adjustments: Amazon typically increases storage limits in Q3 and Q4 for sellers with strong sell-through history.
