Sellers can ask Amazon to return or dispose of their inventory stored in Amazon fulfillment centers. Removal order fees are charged per item removed.
Typically, removal orders will be processed within 10~14 working days. However, during the holiday season and peak removal periods (February, March, August, and September), it may take up to 30 days or more to process removal orders.
