Amazon FBA & Fulfillment How-To Guides
This is the Amazon fulfillment section of the Goat Consulting blog, where we cover how FBA, FBM, AWD, and the rest of Amazon's fulfillment network actually work from a seller's point of view. You'll find practitioner-written guides on shipping to FBA, how FBA fees are calculated, Inbound Placement Fees, managing restock and inventory health, filing reimbursement claims, and preparing for Prime Day and Q4. Every post is written by a member of our team who has built and managed FBA operations for brands, so you get both the rule and the real-world workaround.
Most sellers land here trying to solve a fulfillment problem or get a handle on FBA costs, so the posts below are a working reference you can come back to every time Amazon changes something. Reach out to the Goat Consulting team to plan your shipments, recover reimbursements, or audit your FBA fees for you instead of doing it in-house
Increase Amazon FBA Storage Capacity
Amazon FBA is tightening storage capacity limits, making efficient inventory management more crucial than ever for sellers. Storage capacity limits can block FBA inbound shipments, causing fulfillment delays and out of stock inventory, which negatively impact Amazon customer experience. To navigate these changes, sellers must not only adopt best practices for requesting capacity increases but also carefully consider the financial implications of Amazon FBA’s reservation fees associated with requests. When additional FBA capacity is unavailable, leveraging alternative solutions like Amazon Warehousing & Distribution (AWD) and Merchant/Seller Fulfilled programs becomes essential for maintaining and growing business on Amazon. In this post, we will discuss how to efficiently manage your Amazon FBA capacity, request increased capacity, and explain fulfillment alternatives if FBA capacity cannot support customer demand.
Amazon Sellers Save Money and Protect Account Health with Veeqo
Veeqo is an Amazon owned company that offers a free multichannel ecommerce shipping software to help save you time and money while staying organized with inventory management. As an Amazon seller, you know it can be difficult and complicated to sync inventory across all of the different marketplaces and channels you sell on. If you incorrectly mark your products as out of stock, then you miss out on the opportunity for sales, but if you sell a product that you actually don’t have in stock, then you can risk account health issues on marketplaces and a poor customer experience. Veeqo solves this problem by having a platform that lets you integrate the different channels you sell on while keeping a source of truth for the quantity of inventory you have in stock. So if an order comes through on your own website, then the quantity is reduced for your merchant fulfilled offer on Amazon Seller Central. This post will outline the benefits Veeqo provides to Amazon sellers to help you save money, time, and mitigate risks.
