With the holidays just around the corner, we wanted to remind you of some important deadlines and share our office closing schedule.
Amazon Reminders for the Holiday Season
- Amazon check-in times get longer the closer you get to Black Friday and Christmas. To be safe, you should allow for at least 2 – 3 weeks for check-in. Make sure you stay on top of your inventory requirements and reorder in plenty of time to:
- get your product produced
- order your labels
- get your inventory shipped to Amazon, and
- allow for the potentially extended check-in period
- If you participate in any of the holiday deals (lightning deals, daily deals, etc.), Amazon suggests having 20% more in stock than what you have allocated for those deals. Keep this in mind when planning your inventory.
- Amazon does increase its storage fees at this time of year. While you want to ensure you plan correctly, keeping 5x your normal inventory levels might hurt your margins more than usual.
Amazon Storage Fees
| Storage Month | Standard-Size | Oversize |
|---|---|---|
| January – September | $0.69 per cubic foot | $0.48 per cubic foot |
| October – December | $2.40 per cubic foot | $1.20 per cubic foot |
Upcoming Order Deadlines
To keep your orders on track, we wanted to remind you of two important deadlines:
Orders Received By November 15 Will Be Eligible to Ship Before Christmas – Please Contact Us Prior to Ordering to Discuss Your Targeted Delivery Date
Orders Received On or After November 16 Will Most Likely Ship in January 2020 – Please Contact Us Prior to Placing Your Order to Discuss the Logistics and to See if We Can Expedite Delivery
Holiday Office Closing Schedule
In order for our employees to spend quality time with their families, we will be taking a break during the holidays. Our last day in the office will be Friday, December 20. We will be closed starting Monday, December 23 through Wednesday, January 1, and reopening on Thursday, January 2. (We will still be checking email periodically.)
