How much does Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS) cost?

Costs for transportation, storage, distribution, fulfillment, and delivery depend on the weight and dimensions of your inventory. Bulk storage costs can also vary by season.  

When you combine Amazon Global Logistics (AGL), the Partnered Carrier program (PCP), Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD), and Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) services for an end-to-end solution through Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), you’ll enjoy increased efficiency, reduced storage costs, and significant discounts on AGL shipments.

How does auto-replenishment work?

We monitor your inventory levels in our Prime-ready fulfillment centers using a proprietary data-science model to determine the best time to replenish your inventory from our bulk storage in Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD), helping your products stay in stock. With auto-replenishment, you never have to worry about FBA capacity limits or low-inventory charges.  

Keep in mind that the promised delivery dates for units in AWD facilities (or in transit from AWD to a fulfillment center) will differ from delivery dates for units that are already at a fulfillment center.
