Preparing for the Holiday Rush – Key Inventory Dates Announced
- Make sure that your inventory arrives at US fulfillment centers by these dates:
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday: November 2
- Christmas: December 1
- Note: Date recommendations are based on estimates and are subject to change.
- As you prepare your shipments, be sure to take the following actions:
- Check your recommended replenishment quantity: Even if restock limits are applied, you might still have capacity available in different storage types for your FBA inventory. You can check your restock limits by storage type from Restock Inventory or Shipping Queue, by expanding the restock limits monitor at the bottom of the page.
- Plan your shipment ahead of time: Allow ample time for supplier lead times, carrier lead times, or both. It may take longer to ship inventory to fulfillment centers during the busy holiday season.

New Fulfilled by Merchant Meltable Product Shipping Policy Update
- As of September 21, 2022, all sellers must take precautions to ensure meltable products are received in satisfactory condition by the customer at all times.

The meltable product shipping policy is designed to protect the customer experience by ensuring heat-sensitive products (including but not limited to chocolate, gummies, and select jelly- and wax-based products) are received in satisfactory condition.
