Amazon FBA Deadlines for Sending In Q4 Inventory
📢 Amazon just dropped the deadlines for checking in your Q4 2022 inventory! It’s time to get into gear if you want to stay in stock during the holiday season.
Make sure your inventory arrives at FBA ahead of the following dates:
- November 2nd for Black Friday and Cyber Monday
- December 1st for Christmas
☝️ Also, keep these public holidays in mind when creating your shipping plans or securing delivery appointments with FBA to avoid receiving delays.
- October 10th: Canadian Thanksgiving Day

- December 24th: Christmas Eve
- December 25th: Christmas
- December 26th: Boxing Day – Canada
- December 31st: New Year’s Eve
Be Mindful of Your Restock Limits
As previously reported, Amazon recently brought back restock limits to prepare for this year’s holiday selling period.
All sellers will be allowed to store at least four months of inventory in FBA fulfillment centers. However, those who already have a high utilization rate might not be able to restock additional units, unless they make more space for their inventory.
Before sending in your shipments, be sure to check your Restock Inventory report to avoid maxing out your restock limits overnight, which can lead to stockouts on best sellers. ☠️
But if you’re currently facing restock restrictions with no clear way around them and want a quick solution, consider enrolling in Amazon Warehousing & Distribution program to leverage its no restock limits benefit.
