E-commerce 3PL in Germany: Scale Your Business
15 October 2025Managing inventory efficiently is one of the biggest challenges Amazon sellers face — especially when it comes to storage fees at Amazon fulfillment centers. In Germany, these costs can quickly add up, impacting your profit margins. Fortunately, there are practical ways to reduce storage expenses and keep your Amazon fulfilment operations cost-effective.
Understanding Amazon Storage Fees
Amazon charges two types of storage fees: monthly storage fees and long-term storage fees.
Monthly storage fees are based on the space your inventory occupies in Amazon’s warehouse.
Long-term storage fees apply to items stored for over 365 days.
Failing to monitor your stock regularly can result in high storage fees at Amazon, especially for slow-moving inventory.
💡 Tip: Use Amazon’s inventory management system to identify ageing stock and schedule FBA removal orders before these fees are charged.
How to Avoid High Storage Fees
Reducing storage costs requires a proactive approach. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Optimize Your Inventory Management
Regularly review your inventory management reports and set up alerts for items that haven’t sold in 6–9 months. This gives you enough time to initiate returns effortlessly or remove stock before long-term storage fees apply.
2. Use a 3PL Fulfilment Partner
A professional 3PL like Flex Logistik can help you simplify your operations. By outsourcing your fulfilment process, you can store goods in external warehouses, reducing dependency on Amazon’s fulfilment centres.
