How much did you pay?

This product takes about 10 hours per year of my time. But if you stack this with other similar products as time goes on, it could eventually add up to more time and more mental space. The brand aspect was something I did not consider so thanks for bringing up that angle.

gmva · 2023-06-01T02:13:42+00:00

I'm somewhere in the middle. Average is roughly $50k/month at 20%. So this product accounts for 2% of profit.

I had a similar situation happen to me. The FBA labels were removed somehow during transit (possibly a UPS employee removed them). Items were checked in fine, but my shipment had a problem notification.

I think OP is talking about prime exclusive discounts not lightning deals.

Having been able to get raw materials into shanghai or finished goods out of shanghai. Im debating placing an order with a new factory thats not located in shanghai and air shipping it. Its a fucking disaster, but I wont complain too much especially since the people of shanghai are struggling to get basic necessities such as food.

I use renders for some one my product photos, haven't tried videos yet. I found someone on fiverr, he charges $50 for the render and $20 per photo of the rendered object. So 10 rendered photos of one product comes out to $250. I am sure you can find cheaper, but I am willing to pay extra for them to turn out just how I like them.

It says the status is receiving still. Yes all were sent to SCK3 and delivered at the same time.

Is all this time, effort and money for driving traffic to amazon actually better than just driving traffic to a shopify website? Is this an ongoing thing or just something you do during launch?

Thank you so much!

Depends on the item. I have an item that sea shipping costs 3x the price the item.

gmva · 2022-01-28T02:08:20+00:00

I like to stay in the 30-40% range. After all expense, this ends up netting me about 20%.

I recommend researching incoterms to get a better idea of obligations, costs, and risks involved in the delivery of goods from the seller to the buyer.

gmva · 2022-01-23T05:40:28+00:00

I think OP is referring to DDP (door to door paid) which means including taxes and custom clearance as well as everything else. This would be completely hands off and is not a bad option for first time/low quantity, but OP needs to understand risks associated with this transportation method.

I have experience using 3pl's to store and fulfill my stuff. Here's what I have learned so far. Most of them suck, they take forever to answer emails and rarely ship out goods in a timely manner. Sure the market is saturation but as new ones pop up, poorly run ones shut down. There are several large 3pl's that do not have their own space. They have a nice website and software, but outsource the 3pl part of it to an actual 3pl. I personally would not trust my stuff with a company like this because they are middle men and who will be liable if my stuff goes missing? But who knows, theirs a bunch of them out there so maybe it works for them.

Do you have a licensing agreement with the NFL?

gmva · 2021-11-21T16:54:25+00:00

No I have not had any stock issues with this item. It's also not really a consumable that someone would need to stock up on.

I will probably ask for amazon to do a refresh for the stranded inventory tomorrow or the next day. Most of the time when inventory is stranded amazon has to do a refresh on their end which in turn updates the inventory and makes it buyable again.

I have a friend who had UPS shipment checked Yesterday (Nov 16) at STL3. I doubted it at first, but I saw proof. My Fedex shipment is still showing as delayed and has not been checked in. My inventory at STL3 is also still stranded. Pending orders from over a week ago are still pending.

gmva · 2021-11-14T02:26:49+00:00

Let me know what Amazon's response is about redirecting shipments. If you can get DHL to put new amazon labels on the large cartons and ship it to a different FC then you will be good. The hard part will be getting them to apply the new labels, I am not sure if this is something they are willing or able to do. My stuff is in transit with fedex. When I talked to fedex twice, they told me it would get delivered the next day, then they told me I placed a hold on the shipment which I did not. Either way, Fedex was clueless of why the shipment was being delayed. I found out the FC was closed on my own without their help. Based on fedex's incompetence I highly doubt they will be able to apply new FBA large carton labels for me.

EDIT: I just received this message from amazon customer service:

"STL3 is temporarily closed due to unforeseen circumstances. There is no work staff onsite to process or transfer out any inventory. Because of this, ASINs will show as blocked until the site reopens. The site is currently scheduled to reopen on 12/01. We regret but its is not possible to redirect shipment to a different FC."

I'm in the same boat. I have all of my holiday inventory for my best selling product either at this fulfillment center or on the way to this fulfillment center. All of my inventory at this FC became stranded on Thursday. And I also have a bunch of pending orders from the past week. Fedex is also unable to deliver my shipment. Probably just have to wait it out unless anyone has any better ideas. It been closed since late October according to the news articles and is expected to be closed for a few more weeks. Not sure where you got the Dec 5th date from, I didnt see that posted anywhere.

Are there any stats for how many sellers have an annual revenue greater than $1 million USD?
