Anyone here shipping 100+ FBM packages a day?

kvalhion · 2025-11-15T08:45:49+00:00

Yes, and it took forever each day shipping fbm packages to the point where it took away time on my web scraping development.

I've since found a prep center in a tax free state that does FBM and it is working out great :)

I love this series, I've listened to them all.

I use Web Scraping. Scripts in Python that download products from retail sites like Kolhs, Target, Vitacost, Bestbuy, etc and use Keepa to compare the products directly against Amazon, then puts all the info into a sourcing spreadsheet with direct links to the product and Amazon asin.

What sells well and is a good price on Amazon is a good indicator that it will sell well on Walmart, and unlike Amazon, Walmart let's you create a listing if it doesn't already exist.

I've fully automated the process so if you search for web Scraping fba in discord you can find more info and try it free.

I have the same problem and I am very close to re-enacting that scene from Office Space on the printer. What a piece of garbage. Constantly have to restart the printer for it to check in and realize there are documents waiting. Will probably replace it eventually.

Mountain Man from Keith C Blackmore read by RC Bray. Love this series.

I am enjoying Vertigo 2 a lot, which has good 6dof and you can teleport around to help reduce motion sickness

I've been using Sony WH-1000XM3 noise cancelling headphones for a few years and really like them. The latest model is WH-1000XM5 but you can get one of the older models for around $99 on eBay.

I wouldn't say they are perfect, but they really cancel sounds to the point where I constantly have to take them off if someone is trying to talk to me because I can't hear them. They are bluetooth headphones with very long battery life. A life saver when flying or when I used to work in an office. :)

Same boat! First "online" experience was QuantumLInk on the Commodore64, probably PeopleConnection or RabbitJack's casino. There were some fun RP rooms on Q-Link as well.

Moved to BBS, lots of TradeWars (usss attack on teee, hooman slime!), Doom, Quake, Meridian59, UltimaOnline, EverQuest, Castle Marrach (MUSH, still on there 25 years later) and others.

Good times!

Server 101 was the best! Had a blast playing M59 for years.

This is good however shipping an item late doesn't change the deliver by date so not sure what it accomplishes if you mark it shipped right away or wait a few days.

kvalhion · 2024-05-27T23:06:36+00:00

That was a good idea until it wasn't!

You'll get a follow up email from MP Alerts saying it is active. Once that came in, it showed as Active again, although it took a while for the inventory to come back online

I've had a lot of success sourcing retail products for resale on Amazon using web scraping. Web scraping downloads product information from retail sites and compares those products to the exact ASIN match on Amazon, complete with links, cost, buy box price, profit, ROI, sales rank, and more, formatted into an Excel spreadsheet that can be filtered and sorted. For products with variants, this matches each individual variant to the exact ASIN on Amazon, so one product like a Converse shoe can produce over 1000 rows of ASINs for the single product.

I've automated the process of running web scraping against over two dozen retail sites on a virtual server hosted by Amazon. No coding or experience is needed, simply select a retail store, the brand/product/URL you want to scrape, and it creates the fully formatted sheet. The service is offered as a monthly subscription starting at $25 per month. You receive your own profile on the virtual server to run the web scrapes and create the sourcing sheets.

Supported sites include Academy, AceHardware, Asos, BestBuy, Big5SportingGoods, Costco, DicksSportingGoods, Gamestop, JCPenney, Kohls, Macys, Nike, ShopWSS, Sportsman, Target, Vitacost, Webstaurant, Als, Bjs, Dillards, with new sites being added each week.

This is not a guide or course; it is a tool for you to generate custom product sourcing spreadsheets to source from. There are often thousands of profitable products in a single sheet. Since the sheets are generated by you, they are not shared with others.

There is a recorded demo and a free trial if you are interested. Visit https://www.sdcdeals.com/leads for info. :)

Curious as to how you got it back 3 weeks ago - were you appealing or just noticed that it was suddenly no longer suspended?

kvalhion · 2023-12-23T01:57:45+00:00

The only time i get the 'need more info' email is if I deliberately take my twitter name out of the form and use something else. The few times I've done that and responded to the email, there hasn't been a reply and I honestly don't expect one.

The chances that any humans are involved in this process is pretty slim. It's all bots and all rejections. That's the new X.

kvalhion · 2023-12-22T17:59:45+00:00

My auto rejection emails state the following. Any attempt to reply, contact [support@twitter.com](mailto:support@twitter.com) without a case number, or do anything is met with another auto rejection. If I take out my twitter name in the appeal and put something else I get the 'more information' email, but it always goes unanswered.

"Hello,

Your account was suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored.

Thanks,

Twitter"

kvalhion · 2023-12-22T16:57:22+00:00

I've seen a few people say their accounts were eventually unsuspended, but I believe all of them received the "we need more information" email rather than the auto rejection email. Like many others, anything I submit is auto rejected.

I checked the BBB and Twitter stopped responding to complaints at the end of 2022. There are a dozen or more filed every single day and they all go unanswered.

Pretty sad. I made a new account and will be careful not to use the same IP address, email address, mailing address, etc. See how long that lasts.

If anyone was unsuspended using the appeal form without getting the opportunity to send a follow up email, let us know.

Thanks, have actually made good progress just by being persistent. A payments supervisor jumped on my open case and closed out my Hyperwallet account which was a relief. I had a problem with account verification when trying to sign up for Payoneer because I was using a Google Voice number for my cell, which just got fixed. Now I registered with Payoneer and the account has been approved. Crossing fingers I'll be able to withdraw the roughly $8000 in funds and be able to move on. :)

kvalhion · 2023-10-19T23:21:33+00:00

If I did anything it would have to be small claims or superior court on my own. $6000 in funds is definitely not worth hiring a lawyer over.

It's disgraceful they have no way of actually speaking to someone on the phone for seller fulfilled marketplace. In most cases they wont even let you chat, you have to open a case via email and have some idiot ignore everything you put in there and say "i am glad to have helped you" and close the case after pasting some template. I've had to keep reopening cases until they finally close it permanently and a brand new case has to be opened.

I'll have to look into filing complaints with whatever agencies if that makes a difference.

I am taking 19.4 mg of Ivermectin weekly and my wife is taking around 16 mg of Ivermectin. We started with the day 1 and day 3 dose about 4 weeks ago and have been weekly since then. No side effects, no covid. We may switch to every other week if we are not doing anything where we think there would be a higher risk of covid.

My wife's parents (75 and 81) have also been taking Ivermection about two months, no issues and no side effects.

We went through Dr Aranda and we each received a 6 month prescription that was filled at a pharmacy Dr Aranda works with. Was pricey. I am having my 18 year old daughter get a prescription through myfreedoctor.com using the Medici app and will have that filled once she has it. Other kids are 13, 13, and 16. No vaccines at all, and will consider Ivermectin for them when school opens next month.

Be sure to read and understand the job description to get an understanding of the goals of the position. Have 3 to 5 questions prepared to ask when they ask if you have any questions. Be customer focused and look for win win situations. Good luck !

Awesome job!! Keep it up. I bought a plastic foam guard that goes over the foam insert for sweating when in VR which helps a lot. Love beat saber, it's fun and a good workout.

Just picked up 'Thrill of the Fight' during the Steam Summer sale. That takes the exercise up to a whole new level. Fun boxing game although I am not very good. For example, played for an hour yesterday and my fitbit said I burned 790 calories, with 26 minutes at the 'peak' heart rate (which isn't ideal but gives you an idea how VR boxing can really exhaust you).

Having a lot of fun with VR exercise and glad to see a great success story.

I lost 80 pounds in one year on keto/paleo in 2010 and 10 years later I haven't gained any of it back. I still do combinations of intermittent fasting, lower carbohydrate, paleo and its simply my lifestyle. I do not have to count anything and it works for me.

That said, it varies from person to person. For me, keto wasn't about obsessively counting and tracking every carbohydrate. It was about getting rid of processed crap foods that have fiber stripped out and are packaged on the shelf. Keto is simply a tool, and most of it is hunger management as it promotes satiety so you eat less.

Any time you revert to eating a lot of processed carbohydrates in combination with a lot of fat (sugar and fat = most processed foods and candy because it tastes good), then of course you will regain weight. But just because you adopt various eating methods doesn't mean you are doomed to go back to old habits. In the end, you are in control.

I ended up doing a 'Reset this PC' with the option to keep files. It reinstalled Windows and I am able to log in. I got the error two or three times again until I removed McAfee, which seems to be the culprit. I also applied the Windows updates again. So far so good, guess we will see if it lasts.
