Break-even vs AWD (months) ⓘ The breakeven point is the storage duration where your total cost with Tactical and your total cost with Amazon AWD are the same. Before that point one option is cheaper; after it, the other is.
Assumptions in use (West):
AWD storage: $0.57/cu-ft/mo • Outbound (assumption): $1.40/carton • Transport AWD→FBA: $105/pallet
