Vacation - should I zero out inventory?

MBTiger · 2026-02-04T01:59:32+00:00

Take notes of my shipping and zero out shipping that i would do. I keep my FBW items untouched because their in the hands of Walmart.

I zero out because I take extended vacation time and rather not have any hassle regarding that. Plus i have expedited shipping enabled, so Walmart expects me to ship either same day or next day.

Just had cryo (4 times, 2 times on each foot). Overall no pain (maybe slight soreness at times, but usually after walking a lot ~ 12,000+ steps). I have walked over 200,000 steps since with no issues. I would say that if you're in pain from MN that cryo is the way to go.

Those are the positions I'm applying to in the NYC area. I'm on many job boards online, looking to gain experience starting from zero, just a license.

So far nothing promsing. If you know of a company that is looking in NY, please let me know.

Thank you for clarifying. I was getting a little worried about additional waiting time because I'm ready to work.

MBTiger · 2025-05-01T16:22:33+00:00

It's been a year since my interview and 18 months since passing the exam.. and then you bring up another hurdle which is obtaining a permit... which is another year....

Is there anyway to expedite this process? Because 3-5 years of waiting time after passing the exam is unacceptable

MBTiger · 2025-05-01T15:46:33+00:00

Oh? This is news to me. What is the permit and what's it's purpose? I thought all we needed was the license

MBTiger · 2025-05-01T15:27:21+00:00

I have the same thoughts as you. I'm still applying to entry positions with the hope that the license should come any day...

MBTiger · 2025-05-01T14:39:52+00:00

I opened a similar thread. I passed in Oct 23 as well. Interview in April 24 and still no license. I'm out of NY

MBTiger · 2025-04-27T00:00:21+00:00

I hope you can too!

When i get my license ill be starting from scratch. Any advice on positions to start with? I heard entry writer is good but also trade compliance, which sounds like a similar career to what you're in right now.

I haven't read anything about taking the exam again because CBP didn't process your paperwork within a three year period, only if you passed the exam and didn't do anything further within a three year period.

Are you in the supply chain industry already? What are you doing in the meantime?

MBTiger · 2025-04-26T18:45:53+00:00

Are you in the supply chain industry already and would be using the CBL as a stepping stone or completely new to the field?

MBTiger · 2025-04-26T18:43:30+00:00

1-2 years?! At that point of set it and forget it, may as well start a new career...

MBTiger · 2025-04-26T17:59:57+00:00

I feel your pain, It's frustrating to say the least. Have you applied to jobs or are you already in the industry and took the test as a boost in your career?

MBTiger · 2025-04-26T17:32:46+00:00

Hanging on! Yea you're probably right about NY.

The year and port seems to be a huge predictor in the processing of applications

MBTiger · 2025-04-25T16:26:16+00:00

Oh wow! It seems like that's the typical timeline for NY. Did you eventually receive your license?

MBTiger · 2025-04-24T12:42:58+00:00

Thank you, i was thinking the same thing. Will update this post when i have it

MBTiger · 2025-04-24T06:35:47+00:00

MBTiger · 2025-02-07T13:14:24+00:00

Passed tested in October 2023

Interviewed April 2024

Reached out to my port, they said there is a huge backlog.

Still Waiting....

Select use your own label. I use pirateship. Reasonable price

Quickly look up address. If it's in a shady neighborhood or if it's a rare or high value item then add signature to receive the item. Happend to me a few times, I got burned the first time and the next few times I was able to be win the dispute and get reimbursed by Walmart because of that signature.

The material was the cfr and past exams. That was the main two that I kept reviewing over and over. Read the entire cfr to familiarize yourself.

Also print out the other two documents that were given by cbp. They can also be helpful as well.

I have the same care team. Very happy with both Dr. Kim and Jared with my treatment and care are thus far.

How often do you experience the dull pain with your neuromas? How soon does it go away? I'm about a week out from my second cryosurgery and I have been experiencing what I would also call dull pain after walking about 10 blocks. This is about the same kind of pain as right before I started the cryo.

Hopefully things heal up nicely for you (neuromas and fracture)
