Amazon US AWD Warehouse Stops Accepting Large Items from July 31
Amazon updates its logistics rules, with the AWD smart satellite warehouse halting the acceptance of large and heavy items, retaining only standard size inventory. This move will force sellers focusing on large items to adjust their inventory logic, shifting towards direct delivery to FBA or third-party overseas warehouses.

What happened?
Starting from July 31, 2026, the Amazon US AWD warehouse will stop accepting large and heavy items altogether. Products exceeding specified dimensions or weight will be intercepted by the system. Existing inventory or shipments created before this date will not be affected, but future large items must be sent directly to FBA or alternative solutions.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Large item sellers need to immediately review their SKUs and replan their stocking strategy for peak seasons to avoid high FBA storage fees or restrictions on warehouse entry.
