What is a meltable on Amazon FBA?

Heat-sensitive products FBA only accepts part of the year.

Meltables are heat-sensitive products - chocolate, gummies, some cosmetics - that Amazon's warehouses only accept during the cooler months. Each year Amazon publishes a window (roughly mid-autumn to mid-spring in the US); outside it, FBA refuses meltable inventory and existing stock may be removed.

The arbitrage angle: seasonal chocolate clearance is tempting exactly when the FBA window is about to close. Check the current year's dates in Seller Central before buying anything that melts - or plan to fulfil those orders yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the FBA meltable window?＋

Amazon publishes the dates each year; historically the network refuses meltables from spring to mid-autumn in the US. Always check the current year's dates in Seller Central before buying anything heat-sensitive.

What happens to meltable stock left at FBA when the window closes?＋

Amazon marks it unfulfillable and it must be removed - you pay removal fees, and unremoved stock is eventually disposed of. Sell through before the deadline or pull the stock out in time.
