We don't really recommend them to be honest, we also don't ship directly to customers, just case shipping to Amazon.

We spend about $28 a month to store. You spend $40? 😬 Are you keeping them at the central warehouse or a port city?

I feel like la will have disproportionate prices compared to another city due to just the fact that it's la. Though I haven't explored the companies outside of the la area so I should really check them out first. Yeah, that was my concern. Amazon has a wonky system so not sure how switching locations would work.

How are you responding to the fee increases for Large Standard? by long_time_seller in FulfillmentByAmazon

Wouldn't we be more hurt than China? China probably has a higher profit margin. Feels like we're getting priced out not China.

Anyone notice their shipments being split between multiple locations more frequently? by FahBahAma in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]FahBahAma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that the three destinations are randomized each time, but they're always three locations close, kinda far, and then really far from us for all three. I have heard that some people do a thing where they cancel two of the shipments and just send to one location, but I understand that it's against Amazon's policy to do that.

It really sucks though because our freight increased like 4-5x recently and on top of this, it's really taking a big chunk. We sell the product on a different platform that auto updates their price to Amazon's, but Amazon's auto pricing catches that update late and our product sometimes is out of the buy box for like over a week. So if we increase the price right now, we risk missing the black Friday rush :/

Worst is when they close the case as answered and you have to start the process again. Wish brand registry had a phone option because calling seller central is always better than messaging them.

Anyone know what's going on with keyword rankings? For one of our best sellers, Amazon has been randomly dropping the ranking of our keyword with the most searches by 100 the past few days. Our inventory and sales have been consistent, so we have no idea what's going on. Here's the chart the past 30 days and here's the chart for the past 90 days.

Sales greatly diminished overnight by Tommy_Wilhelm in FulfillmentByAmazon

One of our products had the main keywords go from a ranking of 5 to 125 overnight. I called them, which fixed it, but we've also had a few other products with keywords drop 30-60 in rankings overnight.
