🪄..AMAZON FEE MAGIC SHOW..🪄 Now you see it….. Now you don’t….. Well this is new and it’s kind of adding more salt to the wound...🧂 Through our current shipping plan testing at SKUdrop, we have noticed for smaller inbound shipments, when creating an inbound shipping plan in SC, Amazon are now not even allowing or displaying the “Amazon Optimized Shipment Splits” (no fee) option….or even the “Partial Shipment Splits”, forcing sellers to only be able to opt in for their “Minimal Shipment Splits”, which as we know incurs the full new Inventory Placement Fee (screenshots below). The killer blow…..🫣 This only happens when you have a US ship from address. More Chinese advantages and incentives being stacked their way…🤯🤷🏼♂️ Change the ship from address to China (screenshot below), and all of a sudden…like something out of a David Copperfield show, a whole new world of “NO FEE” options using AMP (Amazon Managed Placement) shipping from China start to magically appear…🔮✨ Further….if you are sending decent amounts of volume from China to the US, this AMP thing with AGL, we kind of can’t ignore now. Mixed SKU’s, mixed size tiers and no IPF!! It’s the elephant in the room that needs to be discussed…🐘 With our FCL testing comparisons, there are $1000’s and almost $10’s of thousands to be saved in some cases. Even with decent LCL freight volumes there’s $1000’s on the table per shipment…💰 So how do you get in on the action? What if you don’t want to send everything you manufacture in China in one hit? SKUdrop can help facilitate all this and prep as you need. It’s what we do everyday, drip feeding our customers weekly orders into Amazon. Send inventory as frequent as you need all through our software. There is now a way you can eliminate all these fees shipping and that is ship direct from China as the Chinese seller do!!! There’ll also be a time very soon IMO, where software aiding your US shipping plans (we still don’t know if anyone will be getting charged for their current plans either just quietly) with power claims of avoiding fees will come to an end. Sooner than we may all think, with the older MWS API about to be pulled. One can’t help think that it was all part of their plan. Anyone storing in the US will be hit with the fees…and they will rise over time. AWD is their grand plan, but handing the keys over to your business to Amazon, with what I’m reading in groups and forums, it ain’t great. I haven’t used the service myself, so I can’t really comment. Just the word on the street and it’s not hard to find feedback. SKUdrop is launching some really cool new UI in the coming weeks to help facilitate this whole AMP shipping program within our customers dashboards. Happy to discuss with anyone wanting to know more. Reach out no problems at all…🙏🏼 #inventorymanagement #amazonfba #amazonseller #chinawarehouse #logistics #supplychain
