Amazon FBA Capacity Limits June–July 2025: Full Guide
By René | 7 min read

Table of Contents

What are FBA capacity limits and why do they matter?

Amazon uses FBA capacity limits to optimize the space available in its fulfillment centers. These limits determine how many products a seller can store and influence selling strategies and inventory planning, based on:
  • Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score
  • Sales velocity and volume of recent sales
  • Overall catalog management efficiency
Proper capacity limit management ensures smoother operations and reduces the risk of inventory blockages or penalties.

Key updates for June–July 2025

For June–July 2025, Amazon sets limits equivalent to about five months of estimated sales volume, considering both existing inventory and planned shipments. The most important deadlines ahead of Prime Day 2025 are:
  • June 9, 2025: Recommended date to ship inventory.
  • June 18, 2025: Final date to ensure product availability before Prime Day.

How does the hybrid capacity system work?

Amazon’s hybrid system evaluates overall seller account performance rather than capacity per ASIN. This means:
  • Slow-moving inventory can reduce your overall available capacity, blocking shipment of higher-margin items.
  • Continuous monitoring of overall inventory performance is crucial.
Regularly review your inventory with SellerMagnet’s Manage Inventory tool to avoid surprises.
