Goat Consulting is writing a blog post on selling on Walmart? Hear us out, there is a new update that allows orders on Walmart.com to be fulfilled by Multi-Channel Fulfillment. Prior to this policy change, Amazon Sellers looking to expand to Walmart.com faced the challenge of allocating and managing separate inventory for the marketplace. With this change in policy, Fulfillment by Amazon users can leverage their FBA-stocked inventory for Walmart order fulfillment. Along with increasing brand awareness through expansion to new markets, offering FBA inventory in additional channels can increase sell-through rates of FBA-stocked inventory. Offering FBA inventory on Walmart.com can reduce age-related FBA storage costs and increase your FBA Storage capacity, which can improve your ability to scale on Amazon.com. At Amazon Accelerate this September in Seattle, Amazon emphasized MCF’s ability to forward FBA inventory to other channels outside of Amazon. In this post, we will discuss the requirements for offering FBA inventory on Walmart.com, how to fulfill Walmart.com orders with Multi-Channel FBA fulfillment, and some of the advantages that MCF fulfillment provides on Walmart.com.
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.
