Definition
Amazon classifies an item as meltable when it can melt, deform, or otherwise be damaged at temperatures commonly experienced in fulfillment centers, transit trucks, or last-mile vehicles. This usually means products that begin to soften somewhere around 75°F – 90°F (24°C – 32°C).
Common meltable product categories
- Chocolate and chocolate-coated snacks
- Gummy candy, jellies, and marshmallows
- Lip balm, lipstick, and certain solid cosmetics
- Crayons, wax-based art supplies
- Candles, wax melts, scented wax cubes
- Some protein bars and energy bars containing chocolate
- Coconut oil and certain solid cooking fats
Amazon's meltable inbound window
Amazon typically only accepts meltable inventory inbound to FBA from April 20 through September 28. Outside that window, meltable shipments may be refused, returned, or destroyed at the seller's expense.
