Amazon usually charges monthly storage fees on the 8th of the following month. For example, the storage fee for December is charged on January 8.
When ConnectBooks records this fee, it backdates it to the month before and spreads it evenly across all the days in that month. In the example above, the December storage fee is split equally across every day in December.
Estimated storage fees
Before the real fee reaches your account, Amazon gives an estimated fee. ConnectBooks shows this estimate until the settlement that includes the 8th of the following month closes.
You'll see the real fee in your ConnectBooks reports once the settlement that includes the January 8 storage fee has closed.
To hide estimated storage fees in your reports:
In the top right menu, click Default Settings.
Under Reports, clear Include Estimated Storage.
Click Save Changes.
Only an account admin can change this setting.
See the fee on the charge date
If you'd rather see the fee on the date it was charged (such as January 8) instead of the month it covers, contact ConnectBooks Support. They'll update your settings so the fee shows on the charge date.
